With that white steel if you put in 4 nice LED lights you will love how bright it will be!

How about (18) 4ft lighting fixtures with t8 LEDs in them. I'll have pictures this afternoon

It is almost bright enough to need your sunglasses/sunscreen. The camera doesn't pick it all up.

Very Nice!  I think it is time to get that thunderchicken sitting in there with some tools around it.  You can paint the floor around it LOL

The car is home. Put it on the charger, dumped 5 gallons of e85 in it, flashed the computer, and drove home. The tune needs some work but other than that all was good. Transmission bangs 2nd and 3rd pretty good!

Love that color!

2 big things started today! The lift has a leaky seal in one of the cylinders, so they have to warrantee it but I can use it as is until they can replace it. Still needs to be hard-wired but it's a nice unit. I really wish I would have been able to seal the floor first, but my back says no way. I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow to see how bad it's messed up. Hopefully, I just need to take it easy for a few weeks.

If you don't mess it up too badly, the floor, not your back, you can seal it later.

I'm glad that roof is not any lower!  You have done a tremendous about of work since the fall.

Sooner or later, you will wish you had a loft

Garage looks awesome!

Not much has changed. The lift got its cylinder replaced, the electrician stopped and and wired the lift and air compressor. Builder still needs to replace some of the panels on the outside, but they sent him the wrong color last week. He swears the place is cursed, which it probably is, but a lot of his issues fall on his foreman. 
The boys are going back to school Monday - thank goodness! I love them to death and will miss them, but it’s time. Dad needs a break from kids and Minecraft.

Gutters went up today - 2 hours and they had it knocked out.
The builder came back Tuesday afternoon - they had the right color steel finally! They found out it was almost 1" too short after they tore everything off. This has to be costing him money now, maybe the 3rd time they'll get it right?

[Steve Wood]

This job started with a bang once the builders could get on it and I was amazed at the speed the teen age crew worked.  It sure has changed with regard to getting it finished but it is still going to be a great shop outside the aggravation of getting it wrapped up.  It's a beautiful shop!

Today the builder showed up himself with metal from another job and took care of it. We agreed everything was done and I paid out the remaining balance. 
I've got about half of the barn masked off so I can get this floor sealed. I've spent the last couple of days cleaning the floor, and at this point, if the stains haven't come out they aren't coming out - they have lightened significantly and I'm done messing with it. It's time to get this sealed and start making messes!

I replaced the temporary cardboard attic access cover with a piece of OSB. Looks better and hopefully, I'm done with insulation being blown around!
We got all the patio and approach cleaned and primed with a densifier last weekend. This weekend the sealer is going down. These damn leaves need to go away and stop leaving stains until I'm done!
