So I have been looking to move my shop due to growth for months now and have had several buildings lined up and something has always happened, this building had come along and we moved pretty quickly on it, We signed the lease last Tuesday and began some minor renovations. It is a total of 3600 S/f and will have 5 comfortable working areas in the actual shop, and a designated area just for paint correction, a break room, an enclosure to house the 60 gal compressor, employee and customer bath, waiting room, office and a large office that I will turn into a display room. Here are some before pix and a few during, I will post more as work is done, it should be up and running by Friday

Looking good!
You will really appreciate the white walls, lots of electrical outlets and lots of lighting.

What do you plan to do about a wash bay?
I didn't see any floor drainage. Maybe I just missed it.

We are putting in a grate that runs across the width of the shop, but due to cost it is 30 days away, I will using the squegee drain method until then

Looks good man and congratulations! I, too, cannot wait to see her finshed.

I have not see a heater, like the one hanging from the ceiling by bay door, since I left Georgia 7 years ago. Those heaters really put some heat out!
