      Since the Raptor is the daily, I'm hoping it will be able to fit in the attached garage.  The shed is about 200' from the house.  Winter trek to the truck would suck.

      It is so cool seeing this floor come together.  It's funny, there is a lot more to do, but this part seems so important, almost like the rest doesn't matter, haha.

          Moved into the new shop over the weekend in Sun Prairie. Very happy and excited as I'm finally in a space that fits my needs! Moved both cars over and the random parts I had in storage at the old place. At the end of the month I'll be moving all my parts over from the garage when I move into my condo also. 

          New space is ~1350 sq/ft with office and bathroom. Entire unit has heating and A/C which is gonna be awesome :D All my parts will be stored above the office as there is about 7ft between the ceiling and roof. Hoping to have a lift in before winter which will most likely go to the left of the bathroom. Below is a pic with the cars in. my shop mate has a Neon bandit race car which is a stock, unmodified, front wheel drive only 4 cylinder class run at the circle tracks around here. 

          Where about in sun prairie looks like linnerud shops or industrial park by my work :0

                          When it runs and can make the trip under it's own forced inducted power.  So by current timeline, probably in 2022...

                            Signed the lease for the shop on Wednesday, 1200 sq/ft of a place to call ours! I am extremely excited to have it over the winter, as it has heated floors!

                            Bathroom, high ceiling, and large garage door are all a bonus!

                            I will be getting pictures up once we start moving things in.

                                Still no luck?  I figured you'd have found something by now.

                                    That's something I guess.  I have a kerosene torpedo heater you can borrow if you want.  Also, if you need to get the press out of there, I can take that back to free up some room.

                                        Now that I am situated in my new home and am getting ready to bring the e21 there as well, I wanted to turn what was once a sun room attached to the garage, into a workshop. Plans are to take out the windows and make it a solid wall so no one can see in anymore, build a worktable and eventually insulate it and drywall the rest. One of the cool parts tho is that most if not all the wood will be recycled and cost me zero dollars. My dad is currently rebuilding his backyard deck (where the 4x4s and 2x4s will come from) and my brother just replaced his flooring in the living room with carpet (where the table and shelving tops will come from). I started out measuring the area and modeling the room layout in my 3D program I use for work. This is what I came up with.

                                        0ecbf4e92f1f4402c1e037fc1e28c6d0.jpg

                                        Next I demolished a storage box that was built into the wall making room for part of the table.

                                        38254ef2aec325b06f3b0e264a8a723c.jpg

                                        First section almost done framing.

                                        First section done framing and ready for the tops. Second section almost done framing.

                                        Its getting there. I'm pretty excited!

                                          Looks great, I also used a 7x11 porch as part of my one car garage to increase useable shop area.
