Ok ,Back to the shop, where we left off was finishing the outside of the building. Next steps were to create two tracks to allow access and revamp the front landscaping. The revamp included a new walkway to the front door.
 Followed by the new tracks for entry to the parking bay:  The city would not alter the front curb as there is a engineering spec for a lot our size to only have one driveway entrance, so we have to live with race ramps to mount the curb. Base rock and cross drainage:  Let the pour begin:   Next steps were replacing the lawn with a less maintenance product River rock. We estimated 4 yards and it took six, thats 18,000 pounds if you need to know. Hired a couple of grunts to do this.

With access to the new front room,it was time to put down the new floor. we went with Swis Trax as they were local. Grey and black pattern was chosen and the plan to do the entire parts room and entrance way in the future.
 This stuff is easy to install and was down in 3 hours with all trimming.   with base trim installed:  After six months of construction (weekends only) I was finally able to get my parts shelves into this room.  Looking good from the curb.  And a novel idea, park a car in there.

Since we're almost finished the front of the shop we decided to add some landscaping for contrast. Once they settle in we'll trim the Yews to shape in the spring. We still need to build a small retaining wall at the property line to contain the stones.
