Congrats Kevin, Lauren and Denver!

Right now, with lots of shops closing, craigslist has some great deals on equipment/tools. Sounds like you've got most of what you need already though.

Is Lauren going to take on parts/sales fulltime?

Quote: Congrats Kevin !!! I have a press that I would love to donate to the new shop. I need the space in garage and really never got to use it that much. Its a 20 ton nothing special but it works.

donations are always welcome, and a press would be very useful too! we can prolly come pick it up from you sometime when your free. let me know! thanks!

its going to remain strictly evos for now, at least for me still. also, i'll still be working my day job (insurance and a weekly paycheck is important with the economy in the pooper and all). right now i'm planning on doing fixed days up there, so it will still be by appointment only, but drive ups for the little stuff are now going to be welcome on those days/nights.

i plan on being there most every saturday all day, my off fridays all day, and then i'll do appointments on working friday nights, monday nights, and when bowling league is done here shortly, i'll be able to do stuff wednesday night too.

denver can prolly chime in on what his availability is. i know hes super busy with the wedding coming up and all though.

here are some pictures:

front of the shop


inside after unloading everything


tool area after cleaning it up


storage that was left there from the previous people came in handy



room for 5 cars, and possibly 6 with a lift. although i'm thinking only room for 4 when working on cars.


the waiting room:



office (empty right now):


right now there is still no work benches. denvers going to bring his tig welder, grinder and a drill press still. we will add more shelves, epoxy the floor, paint the walls, get the lift in, add more lightiing... sooo much work haha.
