I am not much on stickers on my car, but I have been saving a corner of my passenger quarter glass for a FTBCF decal.

Greg,

If only I had the kind of room you do!  It sure would simplify the process and I'd end up with a real building too!

I live in a historic district and I'm starting with an OLD 18X20 garage with a dual set of carriage doors.  It's considered a "contributing structure" so the exterior (including the doors and the windows) must remain intact.  I had to get creative to get the most out of a 12X20 addition (for an overall 20X30).

12X20 doesn't sound like much, but it's a complex project.  The nasty cracked old floor has to be removed and a new one poored w/a 3" recess for the low rise hoist in the right bay, underpinnings added to the foundation to support the steel to reinforce the loft, to gain head room in the loft, the ceiling will be dropped a foot in the old part, a pull down stairway (not a ladder) for access and an electric hoist to get big things up there, a 100 amp electircal box, closed cell spray foam insulation and plywood on the walls.  To make sure I can see, the walls will be white and floor grey epoxy.

It'll be as sturdy as the proverbial brick shiznit house! 

The thought of having a clean floor to work off, the ability maintain a comfortable temperature, adequate light and electric, seems like paradise to me!  It's a dream I have formulated for decades and saved to make happen.  Kind of hard to believe its started... 

As it progresses, I'll start a thread w/pics and narative on the trials and tribulations.  Its already two weeks behind due to a delay in the inspection on the depth of the foundation trench (yes, in my town there is a two week back log on construction inspections!).

Man that sounds awesome!  Make sure to post plenty of pics of the buildup when you start your thread...give the rest of us something to dream about.

The stars seem to be aligning properly, and I should have time available to take off for this. I am looking at doing Indy, Muskegon, and Detroit.

Who has rooms already, and what hotels are you in?
How do the stops work schedule-wise?
