    Almost ready to move in

    Started construction November 2019.  Almost ready to move in the toolboxes and the four post lift.  Finish-out of the details has taken seemingly forever.

    I always tell people that the last 10% takes 50% of the time.  Looks good though.

    I doubt Sherry will keep it looking that clean so I guess you are gonna hire a housekeeper...right?

    Our big garage was once white & bright and clean inside, but now it's a disgusting mess. 24 yrs of stick welding/cutting/grinding/exhaust fumes and a cozy wood stove to sit by holding a beer and looking at it.

    It's time for another Keystone.

    There are three sinks.  The one pictured in the restroom, a barsink in the gameroom and the bigger one in the garage.  It goes right above the water heater.

    AC is a mini-split 24,000 btu heat pump. I insulated the heck out of everything, including doors.  It cools and heats great.  The gameroom has 18,000 btu unit.
