Finally done after 3 years, well almost!

[shatteredsoul76]

After 3 long years of planning and budgeting Im pretty much finished with my hobby room/shop. I got the electric ran, insulated it, added a window, added a window A/C, moved extra fridge out there, added lighting, painted the floor, added a work bench and a smaller kraft table. The only thing I got left is to caulk all the seams outside and re-stain outside, other than that Im finally done.

I also have been buying things for modeling pretty heavy that last few months since the wife has been on-board with it. I have bought 2 airbrushes, compressor, paint stand, cut-proof mat, helping hands with mag. glass, some storage bins along with lots of regular modeling supplies. Im happy with how everything has turned out and Im glad I finally have a dedicated place to do my models. Before I couldnt get much of anything done before having to pack it all back up to keep the wife happy.

I have a 55 Chevy Im working on right now for my dad along with a 69 Camaro for myself and Im planning out the 70 Superbee I posted about a while back also for my dad. I guess I just covered several threads in one and basically a 3 month update on where Im at. I know I havent posted anything as far as a WIP but up until this point I havent had anything at all worth posting. Heres the pics, comments welcome.

What more could a man want but a hobby room with a refridgerator?

a sink and a window or is there a window in the door?

Nice dedicated hobby room

Are you sure the fridge has a sufficient beer capacity for this hobby?

Thanks guys,Ive got a great wife who understands the hobby and lets me buy whatever I want as long as my share of the bills are paid on time. She loves going to drag racing and loves college football and hockey as much as me, we just adopted a coon hound and she insisted we name him HEMI!

There is only the one window but it does have double doors. The fridge is actually too big for what I need it for but we already had it so I know it works good. The only thing missing in the pictures is my riding mower, other than that its my getaway to do some modeling and just relax.

Thanks Mark, and Im still looking!

Meet HEMI, we took him on his first outing to the park Saturday, hes a handful so HEMI is a fitting name not to mention he runs fast!

It's always nice to have the fridge handy...

[RodneyBad]

Ya Even got A/C

You have to park the LawnMower in there too?

My G/F and I are semi-like that, as long as we pay the bills, I can do what I want. (to a point )

Lucky for me, her Ex-hubby was into trains, so she knows all about hobbies.

Yep Zuki the riding mower stays in there too, its usually sitting to the right where I took the picture tucked out of the way. I left it outside to let the floor dry as much as I could since I had just painted it the day before taking the pic, plus I had to mow the next day. Im seriously thinking of placing an ad to trade the fridge for a dorm size one as I only need room for some beers, water and maybe a Powerade or two, that would also free up some more space to use on modeling.

Even a beer fridge in your man cave, add a porta potty and you'll never have to come out. LOL
