This is all thats left of my shop, the concrete work
is scheduled for next week(break up), then the new
concrete should be done in a week or 2 from that. I
have the new building being delivered on 6/26... but
I might move that back till 7/11... depending on my
concrete guy

What happened to your shop? Looks like the Mopar Pro Stock boys came over and had a nitrous explosion or something.

Good deal Mr. P on the new shop.

I hope this was just an upgrade and not a fire or something.

Don't forget to put a bathroom in the new one.

We have built several houses and shops, and you will be back up to speed in no time.

Nice pics of your pile of crap!

My wife thought I was nuts when I took pics of a giant pile of stucco that we ripped off my house.

LOL, naaa I demo'd this one the other day for my new
one

what did it look like before?


I'll see if I have any pics of the old piece of DO-Do.
I was never happy with the old one, the ceiling was
way to low, the concrete was cracked and heaved so
I had a hard time rolling engines and my welders
around plus it was just too small. Its still not as
big as I would have liked but city hall wouldnt let
me go as big as I REALLY wanted... but the new one
will be 1080 sq ft, heated floor, 12 ft walls all
insulated everywhere
Heres one pic and my tractor that I used to knock
it down with

Yea, when I saw the topic line, I thought it caught fire or got blown down! lol

One of these days I'll have a bigger "shop/garage" than I have now. It won't have 4 tires and will be bigger than 26'x8.5'.

No, I got a local place for it... they were well under
all the other quotes I got. I'm going with a 5" slab
for the hot water heat

I think I see the end of a new W-5 head sticking out.

I'm glad you got the green light for Mike Rafferty Motorsports' shop.

You're gonna love the floor heat come winter. Are you using a gas fired or electric boiler for the heat?

I demo'd my mothers garage with a sledgehammer and it looked just like that when done. It was kinda fun. It filled a dumpster just like that.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
