The booth opening is 14'w x 9'h, depth is 7 1/2'.  Good question about the 
air especially after reading the article in Professional Refinisher's magazine.  
Right now we just open the doors.  Not a real good solution but for now it 
will do.  We are in coastal North Carolina so we don't have to worry about 
the cold, just the heat in the summer.  I am talking to my HVAC installer 
about fixing the problem with a louver system in the wall.

Shoot Ozzie we couldn't even see the floor there was so much stuff.  
It was down right unsafe and besides it only takes me about 15 minutes 
to trash a work area after it has been straightend out.

Brian, going north on Hwy 17 we are one traffic light past the Western Blvd 
on the right hand side.  Our address is 109 Workshop Lane (how do you all 
like that one?).  You are welcome to stop by any time.  
Our phone number is 910-455-7200.

Steveo, not a problem.  We don't have a single winder.

>Ron J.



Ron, each and every day I think about the things we threw out but
 we had to get a fresh start.  We did keep buckets of hardware ranging 
from hinges to screws to door stops.

Frank, thanks for the pointers about painting the beams, never thought 
about the impact of the overhead beams.  We will also go with the 
daylight tubes to replace the 8' cool whites.


Thanks to everyone for the questions and suggestions.  
This is why we like being a part of the Groop. 
 
Late thanks to Martin O.  I contacted your friend in Roanoke and he 
pointed me in the right direction to get info on the mortising machine.
