well thought I had picture. I must have not had my brothers digital set up right because there are NO pics on it. Will have some tomorrow.
Also for anyone interested in the paintbooth once we get opened and settled in I will get info for you wanting to paint your vehicles. The booth won't be an open invite to all just the few of you which i know aren't morons.
that is why i keep certain things in here.

Sounds pretty damned sweet. I'd really love to hear more about the work that floortech.com did. Going to the site you gave, all they seem to do is Bamboo flooring though. I'm looking for someone who can lay down a decent urethane flooring solution.
Anyways, back on track, get those pics up. We've gotta see this virgin shop before it gets despoiled by motor oil and grease.

I kinda miss my old job as an it manager for an internet start up, I got to play with all the kick ass toys, but I don't miss the stressful environment. And not getting paid for 2 months cuz the company couldn't afford to pay any of us kinda sucked too.
