Here are the pics I took Sunday before I left of the shop and old attached fire station. Very cool place.

I am glad they came out pretty good.
There was some work done this weekend...hell look at the stickers Renz got made. Hehe
Cool pics Jeff... I like this one:
It gives the illusion that we actually get work done there..

Which one of you guys is the one with the SRT8. I am terrible with names, and when you have to remember real names and correlate them with screen names, I don't stand a chance. I found a problem with my dads SRT8 that I want to see if you have as well. Shoot me a PM and I will describe it in more detail.

We've started our transformation of the shop. The large pit at the one end is being filled with shelves for storage and concrete will be poured over top so that that floor is level with the existing floor. We are leaving an open area with steps that can be used as a pit. We also picked up a two post challenger lift that will be installed. I figured I'd post some pics in this thread and maybe we can look at having another meet once its all done..
Just about the entire pit area was filled with foam cubes and a few tires.... We rigged up 6' tall sides on this trailer and took 3 loads of foam cubes to the dump. The load or tires weighted in at 2 tons..
Once we got it cleaned out we had to chip out the entire first row of cinder blocks so that we can make the floor low enough to pour 6" of steel reinforced concrete over it..
It took us a full day with a 20lb impact hammer just to get the blocks out. Many were poured and some had rebar in them.
This beam will make the left side of the pit.. It was a joy to move/set..
We are setting carrier beams now and the floor will be built over them:
I'll post more pics as we progress. My dad is a perfectionist so I can guarantee that everything will be quite nice when we are finished. You guys won't recognize the place when we have another meet..

A little more progress was made today..
Additional supports added under the main beams:
Floor joists laid down 12 inches on center:
And some 3/4" plywood got put down:
I've requested the day off of work tomorrow so hopefully my dad and I can have it ready for concrete by the end of the day..

We made some progress today though not as much as we had hoped..
We got the main beams next to the pit area set:
Floor joists put down over the beams:
Shelf walls set in the long section and one main beam glued and nailed together:
