Meanwhile the cars are anxiously waiting.
They are taking a beating 24/7 from being outside..
Maple trees are not kind to vinyl tops...
Grace's older white vinyl top, and the Boab's black top.

Frankie was painted in the late 80's/ early 90's when base/ clear technology was in its infancy.
When we bought him some of the clear was peeling.
Not as obvious 5 years ago, but now worse than ever..

The Boab has developed 2 spots of bubbling..left side below rear window, and above left rear fender skirt.
Nothing I can do about that as rain water drains in these areas.
You all know the car was prepped to death, epoxied primed and all that but rust never sleeps.

View from inside the new shop.
Lol

Looking great. Car covers would help some towards protecting them.

Ouch! The one above the wheel lip scares me because I won’t be convinced that it’s not coming through from the inside.

Came home after a 12 hour shift...new garage door!!

 

[cbarge]

Now that the garage can be secured,
This Canadian Thanksgiving I am in New Jersey visiting an old friend.
He can no longer work on cars and is cleaning out his garage.
So I am making a haul with stuff to start up our shop!!

 

[cbarge]

Losded for bear...great start for the new garage!

 

[cbarge]

Today the garage was officially DONE!
We have POWER!!!
Went with LED UFO lights. They are bright!

 

[cbarge]

Went with shaft mount garage door opener.
Programmed 2 key fobs and 2 clickers.

All cars have been outside since April.
Grace chomping at the bit to get inside to get all cleaned up before storage.

Even though the building is done, still lots to do to set up shop!
Outside, need a better approach to the garage when driving in and finish the driveway.

Divert the downspout drainage into underground pipe, get rid of that horizontal/diagonal downspout, route the stormwater away from the buildings and around back....

Are you going to paint the interior particle board?

Eventually will paint it.
With winter approaching priority is clean and winterize the C's.
Plus all the contents from the shed outa the basement and into garage.
