Damn, that's nice! Is there a plan for a loft in there? Looks like you have the space for it. Good job with that! Cool

Morning,
Bob, yes it will be expensive to heat but I have taken that into consideration. The building will be spray foam insulated with natural gas inferred heat and this summer we added a solar system to the house and it will be running the she'd as well so free power will hopefully help with the added natural gas bill.

Martin, I have learned allot building the she'd and when you are ready I'm down to help.

Mont, yes second floor will be a part of the shed. I have accumulated quite the VW collection so will need plenty storage.

Leo

So I have been itching to get something done on a VW. The notch has been in metal fabrication for 2 months now. Was planning to have it back by now but its not. We all know how that goes all to well. One thing on my list of things to get done on the square was to install the rocker trim. I have been scared to drill the holes to install the clips but this weekend it happened. I also have front and rear gravel guards and finger guards left to install. Not sure if it will be to much for the car. What do you guys think about installing the rest of the accessories. To much?

Installed rocker trim.

Looks good Leo. As for the other guards, I vote yes.
