You’re a busy dude!! I like your place man!!
not even close to your digs
i'm on a big hill and its all solid sand stone ...the only flat is the 1.5 ac. behind the pole barn
it cost almost as much to level the spot as to build it
but from the road you would never know it was there
just had stairs done last month
other pics are looking down the hill

There you go live it and have fun till the end .
Not paid off yet ...could easily sell off my biz shop and retire (had offers)
But I have a 13 year old ( hope he stays in the biz) (works with me on Saturdays )so need to stay employed till hes out of high-school...my main hepler is young promised the biz to him then I'll live off the rent (and part time helping it stay going)at 63 did not plan well
This is my shed..... still got a lot to do as onyl epoxied the first 70m2 still got another 250m2 to go. Pretty much got every tool you could need to work on a car. Even tho progress is slow on the duster as i get destracted with side quests lol. As quite a few projects in there.
I have rebuilt both the womens and mens toilets and lunch room all nicely painted with designer basins and fixtures haha, lunch room is getting vintage diner style booth seating and will be all retro. Got a lot of mancave stuff around the place hasnt cost me anythign as all the oil bottles etc were my dads, got a vintage petrol pump to put together as well
In the background you can see the old school engine analyser. Nice little touch again it was dads. Even have a Bathrust trophy from the 70s, which is one of the old school tool boxes.
I have a full size buck hunter and few other arcades, band speakers and mixing desk that will shake the whole roof lol, about to add a golf simulator. And once epoxy the whole floor i will move all my cars in there.

If he's interested even that much, you gotta chance!
I'm liking what you're doing for floor covering. Can you tell us more about it?
Its an epoxy floor coating with a flake, essentially acid wash the concrete, first coat of black, day later another coat of black then sprinkle the flake by hand, next day clear coat, then next day final clear coat. Its a process but look up epoxy flake. I have not gone super heavy with the flake, the photos dont do it justice. It makes the cars etc pop. To keep it clean i have a robot that sweeps and mops as too much floor area haha. I dont get it very dirty tho so stays pretty clean.
It looks slick so I bet not much sticks to it. Real nice lookin.
Yep its very glosy but the flake makes it non slip, everything just wipes straight up. Not like the crappy garage paint where the dust almost sticks to it. Its not cheap by time i am done i will of used nearly 4k just in materials.
Yeah but it'll be really nice.
