I have not posted in a long time but I hope you all are doing well.
since money is tight for the past few years now my wife and child's gift to me for fathers day has been working in the shop and helping me find the floor. it has morphed into the same for my birthday and also the whole weekend.
This year I had done some preliminary work because I really wanted to make progress in setting up my shop.
I have to give major kudos to my wife and the effort she puts forth without any bitching or nagging. I do a lot for my family and they pay it back in kind. I may be the only dad on earth who has an awesome day by working his butt off.
while I only got to put away about 15% of the tools I had I still found a few gems I had been looking for.
so here are the before and after pics.
I didn't get as far as I wanted but we still made outstanding progress. amazing what some white paint on the walls can do along with a new workbench and storage.




these are the after pics: amazing what paint will do to the walls.


the big thing is all the file cabinets, and kitchen base cabinets and counter tops were not there Friday. they were all taking up space elsewhere. a lot of the clutter that is still on the floor will make its way into the cabinets.
