Dennis, I don't have any room in the shop for a recliner. The stool already has to do double duty for both butt support and holding up things I'm spraying with finish.Now Mr. Tarr...he has a whole living room suite in his shop! Really!
That's the idea, Chris. Not only the "nature" angle, but when you add 2000 sq ft to a 1950 sw ft house, things start to get a little massive. The subdued colors reduce that effect significantly. The same positive result with the outbuilding that houses my shop that is 22'x44' (originally a 3 1/2 car garage of sorts) came with the color change, too. The steep roof line makes the building pretty "massive" aesthetically, too. It feels much more comfortable and intimate with the property now.
Bob Noles, I'm sure that the tax folks in the township are licking their chops over this one...since the "number" had to go on the application. I don't think we'll know what the effect is until next year, however, since tax bills for 2008 have already been issued and paid...at least some of them.
