Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop

[Canuck]

Once the floor was back filled Lloyd and MEJ did a run to HD and bought 32 bags of Concrete mix to fill the void:


Transparently 32 bags was not enough so work was halted before the drain area could be filled in:



5 bags later we had a level floor:

Next up was the framing of the wall for the shower and toilet area, the remainder will be the wetroom for stainless sinks, parts washer and beer fridge (wet room has multiple meanings):





Bathroom fan installed and ducted to a previous rooftop vent:


Fan for Wetroom:



Along with this plumbing got ruffed in:




And Hot and cold water for the shop area, also located near the front door and driveway where we have drainage.



That brings us up to date on these areas, we are slowly getting our equipment moved in, more on that on next post.

My wife knows that for years I have said all I need for accommodation is a 6 car garage and a hot plate.
I also own an Airstram trailer and have toyed with storing it on the back lot...... couldt think of a better plan!

Speaking of Dogs, I brought our Pug to the shop last Saturday, he is very curious and likes to hang around people even when they are busy working. lloyd was doing some electrical and Percy provided some job site security!

while we are in the process of finishing off the plumbing and the wetroom with nothing exciting to show, i thought I would share some photos of our shop equipment, some of which we had and more are recent acquisitions.

First or paint booth, we stripped off the old filters to the updraft area and vacuumed out the old debris, consisting of sawdust, sand and paint layers spanning 20+ years:



Ground down the old metal to get a smooth surface:



And reinstalled the filters, the place came with a large box of these that should last a few years:

here is a bad ass table we bought at a bankrupt garage auction in February, we send it out to have it sandblaster and powder coated:

We added casters and two intermediate shelves, it weighs 400 lbs and steers like the Queen Mary.



Columbia 604 vice bolted in, wheeling it over to the drill press was a challenge:

Some other eq from my old shop:

Paint and Chemicals cabinet:




Compressor placed in compressor room and will be attached this week.



Sand blasting cabinet, this will eventually be moved outside under a canopy:
