2000 sq. ft. SeaCraft "Ultimate Workshop"

[ocuyler]

As discussed previously, we have decided to stay in Rochester for the "duration", vs. moving the kids to Florida or wherever in search of better boating weather.

As a long term plan, my terrific wife, Elizabeth gets new harwood floors, new leather couches/chairs, new master math and a new kitchen. (Ya think that'll keep her happy for 10 years)?

I get a new Yukon XL (this week, yaa!); and the "Ultimate workshop" from renovating a 2,000 sq. ft. space we have at work (80 yards from the house and overlooking the golf course). There will be a 14' x 39' "clean" work area with a 10' x 12' OH door and opener. A 12' x 24' wash/clean/paint room with floor drains with a 10' x 12' OH door. Also (2) 12' x 24' storage (project parking) bays with OH doors and the best part is a 12' x 39' office suite with 2 executive offices, a private library (also serving as a guest room for Finster and other SeaCrafters), galley, head, etc.

I'm getting bids over the next 2 months and the plan is to be online by November 1. Following is an image of the current space, which will be fully re-skined with aluminimum with new doors and windows.

Yes, this SeaCraft thing is a serious illness, but instead of throwing money at the boat, at least it's tax deductable and asset improving. I wish I could say the same for the vessels and vehicles that will pass through it over the next 15 or 20 years...
