Move in 3- bikes and 1- boat out of rain

Clean out my shop inside the house and sort out my head from my As$ regarding tools , parts, etc!!!!

..... dust .......

I'm still finding it hard to believe that such a substance would be allowed anywhere near such a magnificent structure.

Nice work!

Wood stove pipe and chimney done yesterday. Started up the last ceiling with the tong and groove pine and started painting the inside of foundation a Mac Tool Red color.

Received the floor tiles and I threw a few on the floor to have a look

elizabeth started calling that thing you have there, the "boob heater"... then all the biker buds started ringing in too!

anyway, i'm sure you can guess why it won the moniker.

are you enjoying your boob heater?

seaweb11 · « **Reply #336 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:45:26 PM »

The "Boob heater" is on loan and it works great!

The wood stove will be much better though

My Bikes will be so happy next to a warm fire

heffay · « **Reply #337 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:49:25 PM »

remember the "boiler" i told you about...

heffay · « **Reply #338 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:51:19 PM »

^ i had nothing to do w/ that mess!

i'm not a licensed plumber, but i'm pretty sure i could do a better job... never having done it of course.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #339 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:55:35 PM »

I'm pretty sure you should get GIN out of all that copper tubing.

heffay · « **Reply #340 on:** November 21, 2008, 11:04:46 PM »

is it bad when it gets into the RED?

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #341 on:** November 21, 2008, 11:59:48 PM »

We talking about the red pipe in the picture or on a gauge???

Because from the looks of it.... I think distillery's are supposed to be HOTTTTTT!!!

heffay · « **Reply #342 on:** November 22, 2008, 12:08:22 AM »

see that hot water tank... it's 150 degrees F +

but, i should have warned you earlier...

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #343 on:** November 22, 2008, 12:14:16 AM »

Wouldn't you know I looked at that thing for about 5 minutes looking to make a smart @$$ comment....

heffay · « **Reply #344 on:** November 22, 2008, 12:16:18 AM »

i KNOW! all the shiny pipes are kinda mind boggling!

i confuse myself daily.

martino1972 · « **Reply #345 on:** November 22, 2008, 02:46:38 AM »

i'll cut it short for you guys.........what ur all trying to say is:does it matter when a boob heater gets over 150 f?

....answer:no,the hotter the better....

seaweb11 · « **Reply #346 on:** November 24, 2008, 06:55:58 PM »

Ceiling finished today

Need an extention for the ceiling fan for the blades to clear the 60 degree loft so I kept the scaffold until tomorrow and then it's GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting the floor tiles tomorrow.

The door installations without all the crap hanging from ceiling

Bikes in the background waiting to come in

Cool build...

Shop's are the basis for all this junk... big or small... well equipped or not... it's all about doing what you can with what you've got...

seaweb11 · « **Reply #348 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:34:15 PM »

I hear what you are saying $$ blablabla

But designing and hand building your own dream garage is I would hazard to say "just as" satisfying as a bike build. There seems to be a thread that runs through my life that involves design, restoration and building something at all times

and if you are going to do it....do it well.

I believe there are many others here who feel the same.

That's why we are here.

KeithTurk · « **Reply #349 on:** November 25, 2008, 03:33:52 AM »

Didn't mean for that to come out as a Money issue... I've looked at almost all of the pages of your build... like you I'm fascinated with any project well done... Very fun read...

My shop took 3 yrs to build and I did most the work... had some friends throw in... but mostly it was my hands... It's a 28 X 48 that's been in use for 10+ yrs... through 2 Hurricanes and many many builds... Cars mostly... Healeys and I've built 2 races cars.. and now a ton of scooters... ( 11 last count )...

The gig for me is that I've done work in everything from a Well equipped shop to a one car carport... and it's always come out about the same... I just love the work...

Your shop and the build pictures show that same passion ... very enjoyable...

Keith
