I rather bicker about old cars and parts all day long.

Yes,'Cars & parts', I agree. Don't know what's so funny about my location though.
I hadn't posted much here lately but was about to post a couple things of interest here last Nov, 6th but was put off when I ran across these posts.

QuoteI don't know about you guys, but I feel pretty darn good this morning

QuoteAgreed! It's a great day in the USA!

QuoteAmen Brother ,Prayers have been answered.

QuoteI...feel like there is a chance life might get real decent soon!

QuoteI think this election showed that people are moving away from the mainstream media.

So away from legitimate & ethical media that can be sued out of existence if they print lies or defame people. They're not like that so called "Fair & balanced" outfit that had to declare themselves to be an 'Entertainment network' to get out of just such a lawsuit.
I thought that politics were verboten here but those posts from last Nov, 6th & 7th were clearly about politics. There were maybe one or two others that may have been in agreement. I think they are in for a rude awakening.
Those posts have been grating on me for all this time so when that "Congratulations" post popped up I felt that that stuff should finally be addressed.
The fires in LA were brought up in here too.  "Thoughts & prayers" ain't gonna help anyone in LA. That also goes for what you can read below actual newspaper headlines like this one: "Some Republicans want to put conditions on wildfire aid to California, though they put none on hurricane aid to GOP states"

You must be a fan fascism. It also seems pretty strange that anyone that was once a LEO is apparently OK with having the criminals that attacked & injured police while smashing their way into the Capitol set free by a convicted felon.

Hello Tom, I feel I need to reply since it was my post that finally triggered your fury.
Please LET'S NOT go down the rabbit hole, that can be seen in your last post and let's not offend each other! We all (and you) need to accept that there are different opinions.
As a citizen of a neutral country, none of yours is my business anyways, so I shouldn't have posted at all.
But I do want to think that, in spite of the no politics no religion policy on this forum, it is not a crime for each member just to express their general attitude. I want to think we can deal with that on a more fun-oriented scramble, like Ford guys will be teasing their Chevy friends and vice versa.
But in depth political discussions will never go well on a forum. You can't see the person you are talking too, words can be misunderstood, what's meant as a pun could be offensive to the next person.

So I guess that's why there is a no politics policy on this 1957 Fords International forum....

Yup....put politics on Facebook or one of those other places that I don't go to.  We must remember, everyone has an opinion...and a butt hole and they both stink...:<)

So..... My shop is going speed on the main floor.... I am building an office and it will have the vibe of a 1920-1940 industrial office... I will work out it .... so pretty much ALL my time will be in there creating art, working at my trade and of course... working on my 57 Fords.
So my GC George has the centre office up and the wiring in the entire shop.... is pretty much ruffed in.It passed the first inspection... so we are good there.
I wanted a vintage feel on the exterior ,so I found 100 year old Barn roofing to skin the outer walls.I plan on painting the interior an industrial vintage green or possibly muted creme.... haven't made that decision yet.
I do know that I have a big job of painting the entire of the main floors with an oil based primer first to cover knots and soak into the plywood.
I chose a finished ply for the interior office.... it will be painted soon.
the garage outside the office will be painted white..... 
I chose Ply over an OBS or (ugh) drywall.... I have a ton of stuff to hang and ply is stronger and tougher.
A metal white ceiling is going to be laid out.......

Anyways... my 2 57 Fords will have there own bays...... maybe... down the road I may purchase a Max Jack..... since my ceiling is only 10 feet tall.
County ordinance rules told me I couldn't go higher due to the second floor(office and storage above.)

anyhow.. progress is continuing.

God.I miss my 57's at the moment.

On a side note..I found industrial 10x4 foot window frames... came out of a factory in Toronto(Did I mention this before?!?!)

They are 18 pane frames..... so it will give me a 360 view.They are from 1902.
Very HEAVY.

And the office now skinned in that 100 yer old roofing steel(1924)

This is the vibe I am going for...... 

I am a self admitted HOARDER..... and I have 2 40 foot Sea cans ready to move when the spring comes.

I forgot to mention the window in the office will be capped in black aluminum.... 

I thought politics was a no no

Jeff,
Reminds me of the service manager's 'tower' office in the old dealerships.  The vibe passes the West Coast inspection.
Terry

Jeff, your shop office already looks so inspiring! And cozy ! Love the old materials, especially the windows! That's something else !
With the decoration items, are you going to go all out like Matts IronTrapGarage upstairs collection, or are you going to decorate the office walls modestly, like an og. filling station or garage that would only have a few brand specific advertising porcelain sings?

On a side note, concerning industrial windows and such. This is Vienna's oldest parking house (built 1935), which recently went out of business, because of the age of (still family) owners 100+ yo.
Hopefully it will be brought back to use, it is said to be the oldest and largest building like that in Europe.
It once even hosted a filling station and several car repair shops (in the upper floors). I love industrial architecture !
