    progress on shop front

    It's a slow go setting scaffolding and working off the ground by myself.

    This is my mechanic shop. It's a 150 yards from our house, and not exactly out of sight from lake traffic. I'm not sure how long the building has been here, but it was here when we first built here 42 years ago. It's a pole building that I probably should have torn down long ago, but it's filled with too much stuff for me to put anywhere else.

    Long story shortened some, this is where I am on the front. The old siding is rotting off of it. I forgot to take a before picture, but there were holes in the right door big enough for someone to crawl through.

    I fabricated the hinges with barrels bought off ebay, and 3/8" steel plates. They're through bolted. The 10x10 doors now operate smoothly and quietly, whereas I felt like I was risking my life opening them before.

    Sorry the pictures are in reverse order.
