What a great Birthday Present to your self Gil.  :)

You definitely have your work cut out for you; but, this is going to be an awesome shop.
Yes it is a lot of work... 

I think about a year to get organized and the next 20 having fun learning how to use it all correctly!

Thanks,

Gil

When we moved to Torrington, I put all of the tooling, machinery, benches, and cabinets in climate controlled storage in Fairfield.

Yesterday 3 guys and I packed it all into a good sized van and trailer to bring it home. (same company that moved our household here)
It will likely take me the better part of a year to get it all organized.

Here are a few pictures of excessive clutter at the moment and there is more in another garage.
This shop had plenty of room to work until I stuffed it.

Enjoy,

Gil
