Vintage Chainsaw Museum

After 7-1/2 weeks of polishing the concrete in the display area up front we are calling it good. Floor crew moved on to the metallic filled epoxy for the middle section, and a more conventional epoxy with flecks in the shop. It rained Tuesday morning so the carpenter started handing some doors.

They put some sealer on the polished concrete and buffed it out, looks O.K. now.



Hard to show in a photo and most of the pattern is dust but the metallic filled epoxy looks pretty nice.



Shop floor.



Doors.

Bet that floor is slick as an onion wet. Have you ran across it and slid in socks yet.

Mac yellow walls! I love it.

Doors:
I can remember my contractor telling me to keep all the doors closed for a couple months lest they warp. New wood and not really seasoned.

The doors are new, somewhat pricey, but they are not solid wood.



The kitchen cabinets are now within the confines of the building.

Will you be serving lunch? Seriously, it is exciting to watch your vision become reality. Ron

Kitchen cabinets going up, the carpenter in charge was looking in the walls for some low voltage wiring.


Someone made a mistake and the corner cabinet was only 36" instead of the needed 39" so the rest of the wall cabinets will have to wait a few weeks.



Master bath is coming along



Handicap bathroom in the display area now has a toilet and sink.



The shop cabinets are coming along, and the plumbers have the hose reels installed.

If I had this place I'd just live in it with all my cool vintage saws.

What happened to the door?

[heimannm]

It was damaged in the box, a new door has already been delivered.

When I saw the LiftMaster I thought it was a hoist for the model 77.

Looking good Mark.

 

[heimannm]

Some progress lately. Countertop/bench top were delivered last week.



Sometime since Sunday the countertops were installed in the kitchen as well as the workshop. No photo of the workshop for you. The wall in the kitchen was patched and repainted earlier.

Looks great Mark!

Any plans for a Grand Opening yet Mark?

 

[heimannm]

My best guess is early December, I have a lot of saws to get cleaned off before they go on display...

Floors are hard to get just right , I've used 3Ms diamond pads to polish concrete floors before, and they're 3 step system works awesome, but Bear came out with a product called "granite grip" I used for a country dance floor that was poor concrete and its pretty bulletproof .
New doors I always check "restore" big construction companies will donate new doors alot of times.

The building inspections have been completed and aside from a few small electrical issues, I have been given clearance to get started on the final clean up and get started moving some thing in.

Initially, Mrs. Heimann thought a display for Halloween would be in order so rather than more pumpkins and bales of straw, I went the direction of the GEICO TV commercial about people in horror movies making bad decisions.



You can find a couple of hockey masks if you look in the right spots...

Good pic. I really thought that commercial was funny. I use an SL-9 with a "Zippo" muffler (no chain) to care the older kids. Works pretty well.

Looks like the place that I would hide!

Those saws must have some old AMF Harley Davidsons in them with the card board sitting under them.
