    Drywall and mud...what a mess!
    Yes, I have jobbed that part out. But now I'm the one up on a sissor lift prepping for paint.
    Possibly run the spray rig in there tomorrow...

    Made alot of headway on Thurs, Fri and yesterday. Took 10 gallons of drywall primer/sealer + 7 gallons of eggshell white paint over that. Stained the beam also. Ceiling lights and fan reinstalled. Continuing to reassemble things. Main objective for today is to get the 2 AC/HeatPump units cut in and installed in that back wall, and the garage door openers to work again.

    My girl friend says your garage is nicer than my house, thinks you are planning on living there.

    Starting to hang/mount these upper and lower cabinets I got for free (the cost of coming with my box trailer and hauling them out after they were removed from an office building).
    the doors are the color of particle board, but they are laminated and in great shape. I'm not completely thrilled, but cant justify another 5K on cabinets.
    I have the dark gray countertops to put on also.

    I think the cabinets look great, and you certainly can't beat FREE... You'll find that they will be very beneficial to you!~

    Oh man, that shop looks great! It is so spacious, it should take a fair spell for stuff to accumulate to fill the available space (one of the fundamental laws of life). Love what you have done!

    Progress update. Bench tops and cabinets done and starting to fill up...

    Last thing to do (and it may take a while) is to get stainless sheets bent up to fit over those formica benchtops. That way, I can pound on them, and get them greasy/oily (which I plan to do )
