Workshop Renovations

My son, Garrett, has decided it's time to strike out on his own, purchased a house, and December 1, 2001, vacated his basement room which shared a wall with my workshop. Naturally, immediate plans were made to e–x–p–a–n–d the workshop. Renovations began with the installation of a pocket door in the common wall between the two areas that could be closed when we needed to use Garrett's old room as a quest room.


During construction the poor old workshop suffered due to the need for working space. It didn't matter much that work benches were covered with "stuff" which made them unusable, because no one could get to them anyway because of even more "stuff" on the floor!

 
"Stuff" covered the floor in front, and behind, the center island work bench.
