Finally in it's new home. I'll have to keep it covered up while I'm building walls, putting up the ceiling and other stuff. That's the frame for my '55 Chevy. My next project.

I had to put the Camaro in the bag while using the saw to keep sawdust from getting into everything. Then the wood was delivered. I was in a race to get as much done as I could in 2 weeks. I got all of the walls framed working to the very last minute, but didn't get the ceiling joists up or the wiring done. That means there will be no heat until around February or later. I had to get the left shoulder repaired this morning, so no more work for 8 to 12 weeks.

Good luck on the shoulder rehab. I had both of my shoulder joints replaced in 2020.
Hopefully yours isn't a total joint replacement. The rehab is brutal. OTH, if you "just" had rotator cuff surgery, you will likely breeze through that. Make CERTAIN you work really hard on range of motion in your rehab.

Shop looks great. So does your Camaro.

Rest up and heal well, my friend. When you are ready to get back at it, make a post and maybe a few of us "retirees" can come down for a weekend and help get this done.

It's doing pretty good. I'm ready to get back to work. I don't like sitting around doing nothing. Can't get back to work until around Jan 21st.
