Other Choices & Day 1 and 2 of rennovation


One of the things that I really wanted to be able to do was to start group rides from the front door of the shop.  And this includes the mother of all group rides that I organize, the Tour de Creemore 160.  A shop with a narrow front boulevard, a regular sidewalk or small doors just would not cut it.  I want to be able to collect 40-50 riders on a weekend and give everyone a chance to grab some water and get their chain lubed before the ride.  Of all the places that I saw over the last 8 months, this was the best one.
This is the entrance to the unit off Carlaw.

And the other side viewed from the unit. 

I made excellent progress over the last 2 days.  Took apart a wall, built another, installed the sink, counter and plumbing and built my 2 workbenches (which required a blow torch and a scraper - I'll tell you why when you come by the shop).






Tomorrow, finish the kitchen, the office wall, sign boards and pick up track lighting and a cash desk.
