Large Scale Central

C.V.S.Ry. Rockhill Shop

Since it is definitely no longer a garage, and too classy looking now to call it the shed, I hereby declare the building I have been remodeling the C.V.S.Ry. Rockhill Shop.

With the completion of caulking and painting of the front siding over the past few days, I have moved indoors for the winter. Progress shot as of yesterday afternoon…

There is still a lot of trim to refinish and some new to make. I’ll probably delay most of the remaining exterior work until spring. I have plenty to do inside to finish closing it in. This is a rendering of what it should look like when the trim is installed and painted…

This is the actual color palette I will be using, I can’t even get close in Visio…

Those are all left-over paint colors from when we had our house in CT painted. I wish now that I hadn’t left a gallon of each with the new owner.

The heat is working real well. All of the openings to the outside that I have found have been sealed up. I used foam around the inside of the door and window. I read the directions to only fill 1/3 of the void, but when it wasn’t expanding I went back around. I should have been more patient. Now I have a lot of cutting to do…

Yea, been there done that with the foam :laughing:

In that last picture that walk door looks huge, like 5 foot wide, in that perspective

Big congrats, Jon, looks great. And I like your title.

Re. lights, they’re cool. To see your way to the door on a dark night though, maybe one over the door, perhaps with a motion sensor?

It’s wide, but not as wide as it looks. I was going for an angle that showed both the door and widow.

Very nice, Jon! I look forward to seeing how you finish the interior.


Personally I think the lights should be RR lanterns converted for power … :kissing_smiling_eyes:

This is a low budget operation. If You want to send me a couple I’ll figure out the conversion and hangers! Theses are lights I have that were never installed in CT.
