Liking it...........a lot. Its like you two picked up the dusty, slightly rusty, dingy vintage car that everyone else overlooked and now you are giving it the TLC (and blood, sweat, and tears) necessary to bring her back to her old glory. You guys see the potential!! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Yes we did, mostly buried large format fasteners and hardware from the original valve shop. Nothing of value just archaeologically significant to the building's history. Some of it we kept and will find a way to display in the finished product.

Very cool that you're maintaining some of the building's history.

Thanks for jumping in Lloyd, needless to say neither one of us has spent any time on our cars this summer due to the &quot;project&quot; Sams description of the old building basically described the cars I restore as well.
What evolved over the past 5 months on our various skills was interesting as their was the occasional &quot;good Grief&quot;, &quot;WTF&quot; and &quot;really, are we building for a cat 5 hurricane?&quot;. The results will show.

More photos of the tear out and completion of the back wall.



Framing started for the new rear door. We centered the door in the new back wall to allow for better Hoist and tool box location in the shop as well as even access to the back lot.



With the new wall assembled on the ground it was time for &quot;tilt up&quot;. The uneven proportions of the 60 year old upper beam caused some challenges in getting the wall securely on place. Having spent much of the Saturday evening using sledge hammers top and bottom to no avail, it was time to get out the heavy metal.
Using a 7000 LB Yukon XL as an anchor point, a 30 foot cargo strap and a ratchet come a long, the wall was eased into place and Lloyd emptied an air nailer magazine (500 nails) to secure the wall forever.



a shot from the back of the lot. realizing we had a drainage problem, we opted to install all pressure treated plywood along the bottom row of the back wall. More on drainage later.

The height (12') and width (~30') of the new 2 x 8 high bay wall framing necessitated 2 sections. As the large timber header beam had a distict &quot;twist&quot; to it, trying to tilt up, fit and align the header plates was...well...difficult hence the GMC Yukon powered solution.

Demo Begins on the High Bay wall:


First Sticks of New Framing for the High Bay. Note the exposed vertical timber beam - a thing of the past:


Our Good Friend MEJ Playing Pickup Stix:


Another View of the First Section of Framing Installed - Exterior View


Interior View of the First Section of framing with the original Slider Door still in place (blue edge)


Full Back Wall Reframed, Slider Door eliminated and new Overhead Door relocated and roughed in.
