Workshop Build 8

After what seems like an age of family and health issues, yet again, I’m starting the second half of the workshop. YAY!

This section hasn’t been touched in a year and a half, and it’s surprising just how quickly nature can take over. It was like a jungle out there, so the first thing was to clear the area. It’s a pity I didn’t take any photos before I started, but let’s just say it was a lot.

One advantage of it sitting for all this time is that it’s had a chance to bed itself firmly into the ground. Still, it took a ton of stone and quarry dust to bring it back up to level. Then the whole area was compacted with the whacker plate. Some sand went down to help fill in the gaps, and then I whacked the shit out of it again until a good, solid hardcore base was formed.

You can see the two doors on the far wall. The smaller one leads to the store, and the larger one gives access to the clean workshop area. I made this one bigger to make it easier to move cabs from the dirty side, where all the construction work happens, to the clean side for the detailing, electronics work, etc.
