Looks fantastic.  Well thought out.

Just curious how you get all of those heavy parts up to the third floor.

Thank you for the nice comments.  Still have a lot more planned for this shop and can't wait to get it done and start working on cars again.

The parts in the 3rd floor I just brought up by hand up a couple flights of stairs.  Same way I built the shop, slow and steady.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

OMG! Your project is absolutely phenomenal! And the fact that the majority of the work was done by you and your spouse makes it even more impressive. Its the Mopar Taj Mahal!

But, ahhh, Cody, think you forgot something buddy ... where's the in-ground pool?? :pullinghair:  (it's about the only thing that is missing! :poopoke: )




OMG! My local Dodge dealership doesn't even have this much room in their parts department.

Now that you hauled all those parts up by hand, when and where are you planning to put the elevator? That's a pretty sweet playhouse you have there.

Funny...I was thinking that too....Make like a dumb-waiter type shaft, doesn't have to be big, maybe 4' X 4' starting at the ground floor up to the third floor ...then build a square box that can go up and down the shaft.
Mount a 3000lbs electric winch in the roof, and away you go....Wire up a nice wall switch... :clapping:

Or just do what they did in the Netherlands on 3 story (and bigger) houses long ago in order to get furniture up and down.  Add a hook at the top of the gabble on the outside and attach the hoist or block & tackle there.  Bring stuff up to the window and pull it in.
