Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Haven’t been seeing any bat droppings so I think that problem is solved. Yay!

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Yep...my first project on that one is hood pins that look like quarts of engine oil.
I think I can put away that plastic sheet now that was protecting the faded paint. |

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Shame you had to go thru so much extra work but glad it appears to be solved

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Me too Greg. Still no guano so I think that problem is solved.
And this simple 4’ dust mop with a long handle is the best for cleaning the space of dust and dirt. Really quick to clean the entire floor. |

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Wished my concrete was a slick finish. The idiots that did mine did a broom finish...IN THE SHOP!!! I hate it.

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
I actually requested broom finish in mine. Gives me better grip when I am working -leaning over something especially if there is liquids on the floor. I had it all patterned specific directions to make sweeping easy. I guess it is all personal preference

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Good points Richard....all whatever works for a guy.
Greg, still have it and it works good on loose dirt, less so on dust. And is is less than half as wide as the push mop. Push mop is way faster. |

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Let me clarify... my “broom” finish looks more like a wire brush finish...with no certain direction. Looks like Daniel’san from Karate Kid did it... wax on, wax off. It’s horrible to sweep, can’t be dust mopped as it snags everywhere, so I have to vacuum for best results.
But I do have A/C |

The AC would have been very nice this summer, especially down your way. While I have that on my wish list, it actually isn’t bad in my shop. Keeping it closed up helps as the concrete doesn’t heat up. And I think the second layer of roofing helps as well since the back half doesn’t heat up like it did before the new roof was added. Oh, my buddy got his 52 Buick on the road. 6.0 with 2 turbo’s, Fatman front clip and 9” on truck arms all riding on air. We found it in a barn around here 6 years ago this week. Rock solid. |

I have heat and ac in both rooms but for some reason the heat only comes on in the summer and the ac only in the winter

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Doug that Buick looks nasty...bet it sounds nasty with 2 pumps on it...what you ought to do is tie those brooms to that mini gator and turn the g-kids loose....
Nlpd...im not sure how rough your floor is but it sounds bad...at work theyve brought in people that can smooth the concrete...they use a big sanding disc on a machine like a floor buffer..works great...you might try a rental place...they may have something similar...

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Doug,
Sorry for polluting your thread! But to clarify... my floor finish sucks, but it’s FULL of cars, trucks and StUFf. So the grinding isn’t an option. I’m thinking I need to develop a ShOp Roomba. |

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
I have a friend who is bonkers over Buicks! He probably has 6 or 8 of them, most in the 50’s too.
I bet he would give birth to something nasty if this Buick rolled up near him, he fancies himself as a purist when it comes to Buicks. I personally love it!!

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
I really like Buick’s too...and purists probably would have a cow over this one. Some get really mad about modifications, even over my 56 Chevy once.

Re: Shop improvements and upgrades. Better Space!
Yep, On the “to do” list I think. Emma has a hood, going back on once any bugs are worked out.
Day we picked her up.... |
