The Workshop Expansion...Part III

Well, I woke up this morning a bit sorer than normal. The shop woke up a bit messier than normal, to say the least.

Last night while we were wiring up the shop, we were on a mission. A mission not to be deterred by the Martha Stewart types of the world. We were wiring, dammit, doing manly things, cleanliness be damned. As a result, this morning the shop looked as if the twister that struck when Mike and I built the new wall had struck again.

After having my morning iced tea and staring at the devastation that we had caused the previous night, I decided that the mess wasn't going to go away on its own, no matter how long I stared at it. Here's what I was staring at, just to give you an idea...

I'll spare you the longwinded gory details, but after working all day, here's how it all ended up. It is by no means finished, but by the time I decided to call it a day I had reached my limit for cleaning for one day. Actually, I probably went over my limit...

At least now I can see the floor...still can't see the top of my workbench, but all in good time. But, as you can see, most of the big tools have been moved to their new homes...all wired up and ready to ruin some wood.

The one happy note of the day is that the air conditioner that had previously stopped working magically started functioning again this afternoon. Why or how I can not explain, but I'm sure not complaining.
