took a a few hours considering this was a mess for 2 years lol i filled 3 bags of garbage and a good 10oz of overspray. the idea is to build cars in here as opposed to using it as a spraybooth more than likely that wont happen aside from the bulk assemblies

Yesssssssssssssssssssss

This is the kind of bloody mess that I love :D, in fact my lady isn't allowed to have access to my shop :D

The mess speak for you: you may haven't any skill but with this kind of mess anyone would think that you are one artist, at least a great artisan :D

Nex time housekeeping 2t/year :D

My "shop" is something like 4 sqft so I clean it every week. I wish I had space to spread out like that though, I am le jealous!

I have to share my building space with 3 dogs that don't care about shedding or stinking up the place. Though I have plenty of space, I wish I could get rid of the dogs.

I cleaned my table after only a few months and I found missing parts under the paper I put down. Oh, and there was something running around under there, that scared me!:confused::eek:
