Craig just had to take a picture while he was here.

Yeah, the boss said that Quinten needed a new house with more room and more land. And of course we fell in love with the hard luck case on the block that had been driven into the ground by the last owners. The house was a solid 3 months of heavy renovation before we could move in, and the work still continues.
And with the new house came the need to build a new work space since little out there had a space big enough for me. I was getting pretty cramped in my old space. The new building gives me more than double the room and i will be able to have separate areas to better organize my work processes. The company that put up the building was over a month behind schedule starting the job. They just finished up the shell a couple weeks ago. I am hard at work finishing the inside off now. Today i nearly wrapped up running the 1500 ft of wiring for rough electrical. It will still be maybe another month before i can start working in it.

Though we have been struggling to sell our old house, the silver lining to that is that i have not lost my workspace yet.

I’m really happy for you Brian. It’s great to see an artisan and craftsman like you be able to make a living from what you love to do. I hope you have more success than you ever dreamed you could.

Having been a beneficiary of your talented work, Brian, I echo Mike's comments. May your new shop be all that you would desire in a place to make your customer's dreams come true.....

Looks great Brian. It's really nice to see a fellow like you that can knuckle down, go to work and do right for his family.

Good luck selling the old place!!!!
