Painting my BIL’s Peterbuilt.
Pulled it in Friday night, sanded everything down. Taped it off Saturday morning and wiped it down. Laid on the Metallic Blue and it let set over night. Went back Sunday morning, masked the blue, and laid down the black.

And I was proud of myself for washing and waxing my truck this weekend.
Nice work.

Nice work. Does he or someone you know own the shop or was it somewhere that you rented time? Seems huge!

This might be a strange comment, and I have a perfectly fine house with a two car garage and decent driveway space but I feel like I would be okay living in a giant empty-ish warehouse. Climate control might be an issue but I a not going to nitpick,.

The same friend owns a big “shed” in the country. 80% of it is open space, but it has a bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen/bar, and a full living area complete with fireplace.
They keep the Hellcat, the Demon, the Scout, the 31 Dodge Bros, and the Sl ingshot in there and there’s still room for activities.
10/10 would own for my house and be perfectly content.

Just insulate the shit out of it, put up some drywall and it’ll feel like home.

Other 2/3 is shop. I’d buy
this but a few details are negatives for me.

It looks so weird without those iconic headlights.
Nice painting, as always.

Oh we all want that, but you have to finish some of it like they said, warehouses are dusty as hell, drafty and critters find their way in. I so badly want to find a lot and buy a metal structure. Once the slab and stuff is done I’ve seen them finish the main building in a week.

I’m always down for spraying paint.

A friend of mine met a fellow who had been married for over 60 years. He asked the fellow to share the secret of such a long marriage. The response? A good shop with a small apartment in it.
