Doors and gutters are done. I bought the meter base, two 200 amp breaker boxes and some other stuff to get some electricity out there, but haven't started installing it yet. It's very hot inside.

Looks nice, but you may need to have them run that right roof gutter to the ground instead of the porch. In a heavy rain, the volume of both roofs may well overwhelm the gutter and flow over the side.
Time will tell if it becomes an issue.

Swept the floor for the first time. That's a lot of sweeping! The first car part was moved in. It's the frame for dad's '55 Chevy. My son got me this sign. It's the first thing hung on the wall.

There is so much work to be done it seems overwhelming. Hopefully I'll get started on electricity next week, then maybe things will go better.

That IS a big floor ! Yes, getting power in will make it better. Being able to have lights and use corded tools and such will make the other work easier.

When I had my back storage shed built I didn't intent to run power to it, but after 1 year of using 200 ft of extension cords and then a year of using a generator to run the lifts, I ran the old hot tub circuit back there. It is so much nicer to have real electricity.
