Thursday at work it was suggested that the storage room in my bay become a break room and it's often been brought up in conversation that it's supposed to be an office. Well it started happening and with a few screws and literally picking threw the garbage at the industrial Park where the shop is I made it happen before lunch Friday. That's of course after I had my helper/ shop parts guy and one of the detailers clean it out Thursday night.

The desk and computer will go on the back wall and I didn't get a picture but there's already a parts counter under the back window for returns and such. My boss likes the idea I think mainly because I scrounged everything from the junk pile. What he doesn't like is we filled his van with old parts and equipment he's going to need to sort but that's not my problem lol View attachment 157623
He's so happy with the results he went online and ordered me a fridge and a microwave. Even if I'm only here a short time I'm going to make it more enjoyable while I'm there. Next I'm going to work on bringing in the old small data liner that's rotting next to the building so when my car-o-liner is tied up I can still bang out the small hits without falling behind.

I always wanted to be a heavy hit guy. Back when I was in vo-tech I loved working on the frame machine. Of course when I started working, I was prepping and that sucks. One day the painter walked out and I walked in, and haven’t left since. Little easier on the body and I can keep my tools at home. Of course I just started at a shop where I prep,paint, and buff.

More grinding and polishing, but this time on stainless steel tube stands for 1400 liter plastic tanks. I'll try to snag some pics on the next few we finish up.

Friday I painted the last of the parts for the 65 442 I’m working on. Yesterday a 33 Ford came in for a paint job. This place is much different than my old job. Grinding it out on sh*t insurance work was really getting old.

repaired a water service and gas service to house. the neighbor hit the house and snatched the water service and busted the gas meter and supply. the neoghbor right across the street pulled up in their drive way left the car running. put the car in reverse jumped out of the car and left the door open to run in the house. they turned around and the car was rolling across the street and boom hit the neighbors house.
