I'm pretty sure everyone in this forum will appreciate this, I could quite happily live in this place.

Pretty cool! Too many folks would have looked at that and said "Too Much work, just tear it down". What a great legacy to hold onto in the family and hopefully pass down to the next generation (If the feds don't take it in taxes)"

An amazing job! And it looks like you made the Snap On man have a very Merry Christmas.

The only thing I would improve is get rid of that Pepsi machine, and get a Dr. Pepper one, or if you are really down home get an R C Cola one.

Love to have a place like that...as long as it had a runway behind it! :)

Remember, a neat shop is a sign of a sick mind.

Nice place, I wonder how much really old neat stuff was found on clean-up?

Not actually my place, but I want it :) I'd put a service island out front with a couple of vintage gas pumps 8)
