I have been working about three hours a week on cleaning my shop. Been at it for three years because when I built it, I was working over-seas and had to shove ALL my stuff and 4 cars in it for storage. Since I've been back I'm down to one car (84 El Camino) in the shop and most of the stuff organized. During this time, I have added a Taiwan made Jet lathe, a Taiwan made Jet milling machine, a Jet (I think) Taiwan made drill press. I have 6 top and bottom boxes, motor hoist, etc. so it's still pretty crowded. It is however, starting to look like a shop and not the inside of a dumpster. I'll post pics in a week or two when it's a little closer to done.
What did you do to your shop today?

OK, the problem here is that this door is simply not wide enough!! What the hell do you park in there?? I KNOW the Queen Elizabeth is still in California.
unfortunately, no job awaits me up there
you live in DFW? who's better off, people in Canada, or those of us who have to put up with the 3-ring circus of clowns for 6 months every 2 years, run by the chief clown Guv'ner Goober Abbott ?
I knew Q-city was different but not to that extent; their own laws.
as for living north, I wouldn't mind it having lived north, but it wouldn't be where the prairie lights are burning bright and the Chinook wind is a-movin' in. I'd be BC bound.
My apologies, i mis-spoke. Let me be more specific.
keep your politics off this site!
We have similar down here but a bit heavier. We call it hurricane bracing....

Hey, Hurricane 77, the funniest thing right now is that my door does happen to have that brace on it and the miserable useless t*** doesn't do a thing to resolve the problem. One thought here is that it was never properly adjusted in the first place. That in mind it will still be spring before i can climb a ladder and screw with it because Bay One is full and the door cannot be accessed at all.
I was able to climb a ladder Thursday and repack the top edge, again, and still had to do it one more time today because the foam keeps wanting to push itself out. If this keeps up the next step will be that spray bomb foam insulation and deal with the mess come spring. Thinking about it, I may even have a can of that crap in stock and tomorrow is supposed to be warm-ish.

It's a start. Cut it apart and go again. Awesome to see another person building these skills!
Spent another two hours cleaning, sorting and rearranging in the shop yesterday. It's cold today (probably not by Northern-Canadian standards), so it will be later in the afternoon today before I get back in there. I will post a couple of pics this evening to show where I am now.
