Weld's new "Shed"

[GregWeld]

Insert snow blow photo's and video here:




The video would be like watching paint dry.....




But -- the company did bring me a "loaner" until mine gets here - which is just absolutely stellar customer service!! And I put the beast to some good use! I actually ran it for about 4 hours yesterday just getting acquainted with the operation and "pattern" needed. Of course I also cleaned the Cul D' Sac - and then the street on both sides a quarter of a mile - drove to the condo because Gwen had made me lunch - then drove to the Sinclair station because I'd used up half a tank of diesel.... LOL.

You get the "drift" on snow here - this is ONE DAY - it's supposed to snow every day this week....

OH yeah - - - what's the old saying - -work it like borrowed.... "Bobcat"........ :)

[awr68]

Right now I just may take that white stuff over all this damn rain we have been getting! I know you don't miss the grey sky and wet wet wet!

Enjoy the new toy!

[waynieZ]

Is the snow light or wet? We usually get heavy wet snow.

[SSLance]

Just make sure you all don't click my build thread link... ;)

Ya think???!!!??? LOL

It's usually so light that people move it with a leaf blower -- but the other day it snowed and it was warm (33*) and the snow was heavy and wet, and slick, like Seattle snow....

The key here is that if you plow or blow or whatever - so that there's only a 1/2" on the ground - the sun comes out and melts and dries your driveway / walkway / patio so that only the landscaping is white. If you don't get it off - and you walk or drive on it - then it turns to ice.... and that sucks then.

[INTMD8]

Wow, this place is amazing. Very impressive!!!! :D

Thanks! Move in is scheduled middle of March. FINALLY!

[Vegas69]

How long from the day you closed on the lot to move in? I'm in permits right now.

[GregWeld]

How long from the day you closed on the lot to move in? I'm in permits right now.



We bought the lot March 29, 2013......



But - we did two separate custom designs - which took many months.



Started excavation August of 2014

[BMR Sales]

Greg, are you getting out of the Snow and bringing the Mustang to the "50" Trans-Am reunion at Sebring?

[GregWeld]

Greg, are you getting out of the Snow and bringing the Mustang to the "50" Trans-Am reunion at Sebring?

No - because it's not a real one to begin with.... and with the house moving etc. I'm not planning on doing much of anything this year. Just too many other things going on.

[Jay Hilliard]

Awesome Greg! Its came a long ways from the pics you showed me at 2014 SEMA. You should be very proud of this. Very beautiful!

Now, if I can just ever make there to see it in person. Between the house or shop, would be a hard decision :-)

Congrats Greg, I know you can hardly wait to move in.

[BMR Sales]

Dang, I thought we toss back some Frosties! It should be a great event as a Lot of the Original Drivers are coming in

Gwen is the one that's just itching to get in there! I just want it to be all done and all perfect before I move a thing..... like that would ever happen! It has been a very long journey - two house designs - and 10,000's of 1,000's of decisions.... There's so many details when you do a custom like this! OMG! But we've met a lot of great people - made some friends that will be breaking bread with for many years... and the project is turning out the way we wanted it to. So all's good!






Dang, I thought we toss back some Frosties! It should be a great event as a Lot of the Original Drivers are coming in




I just have a jam up of stuff to do sometimes. It's amazing that being retired can take up so much time!!! LOL With the kids getting older - they've actually taken up more time - because now their life long friends - or our friends kids are getting married... so you have those "must do" events... Toss in a few car events... and just adjusting to all the new stuff we're doing here.

[waynieZ]

Glad to hear the move is getting close and it's all coming together.

[Vegas69]

It's insane, you need to be retired to take on a project like that. Somedays I wonder what the F I'm doing to myself! Have to see the vision. That's the only saving grace. I keep driving out there to remind myself. :lostmarbles:

[jy211]

Dang, I thought we toss back some Frosties!

Greg,

Cheap labor there to help unpack...:ups:

[Jimbo1367]

Greg,
OMG. You have too much $ LOL

Life is good for you !!!

[Lenie]

Thanks buddy! When ya comin' over?? Move in date has been moved up to March.



For fun - and to check the positions and angles (aim) of various exterior lighting components - we fired up the view side of the house --- and the fire pit.... Terrible iPhone night pics but you'll get the drift.

The firepit is an old "cone" from a mine..... and the log set we had built to fit. The logs et all are all metal.

Most of the "major" landscaping was put in just the week before we got snow (snow doesn't leave here until April or May).

About where I was standing when taking the night shot of the outside lighting..... I wasn't as far out as this or using the wide angle lens on my good camera that this was taken with.

[GregWeld]

Just because I'm feeling it today --- I'll share some interior pics before we moved in. I don't expect people to like it --- it's pure "sun valley" lodge and wouldn't work for me say, in Seattle. But the design fits HERE.

This is the MUD ROOM -- where you come through from the upper garage....

My "TV" room --- it's smallish room just off the great room - where I can go and watch all my tv shows - or just sit quietly and post 20,000 more posts on Lat G. The pallet in here is dark - wire brushed (textured) oak - with some pretty cool hardware....







http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad33/gregweld/Kirk%20Anderson/WeldMediaRM1000.jpg (http://s919.photobucket.com/user/gregweld/media/Kirk%20Anderson/WeldMediaRM1000.jpg.html)

[GregWeld]

So we used the neutral pallet of color -- to be a background for some of the "unusual" art we have....

[Spiffav8]

The house looks very warm and comfortable. I'd imagine it's a great place to decompress. Worth every penny.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[DBasher]

Looks real cozy GW, I really like the lighting over the islands and the "caged" lights in the mud room. The place looks great! :thumbsup:

Are you still working out of the commercial shed or have you got the lower garage all set up?

:thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

Not much I would change.

Well, Maybe add a few trails in the bike yard for my Mountain bike habit.

[jy211]

very nice sir! :thumbsup:

We spent a lot of time on lighting and fixtures and the whole Lutron QS HomeSmart system etc. Lighting is really important to make a room feel good.

There's 1400 miles of Mtn Bike trails here -- the closest one to us - runs across our property.

Had to get above Clint across the valley.

[bulldog19]

Greg your statement: "We spent a lot of time on lighting and fixtures and the whole Lutron QS HomeSmart system etc. Lighting is really important to make a room feel good" This is so true! I along with my brother and sister in law a electrical supply house and lighting fixture showroom. Getting this point through to people that are building $5-$6 million beachfront homes and want to skimp on lighting. Lighting is what makes a house, it helps show off all the fine details, cabinets, floors, pictures etc. The same goes for your workshop. Your working on the car you gotta be able to SEE!!
Beautiful house, lighting is awesome. The show of the house lit up at night is awesome! Well Done!

For parents of a young carbon fibre maven, everything sure looks like it has a lot of 'heft' to it...may even be 'Stella proof' too.


:walkingdog:

[glassman]

Lookin fantasic Mr Weld.

I love architechture and this is one of my top three "looks", the cabin meets rustic.

Are the steel trusses repurposed or custom made?

You guys had a killer designer too btw, if no designer, hats off to whoever designed it. Great flow, color coordination, lighting etc.....

Looks like somebody actually installed a frameless shower door correctly, glass first, then tile up too it (most are done with clips or channel, few like this)

Anyways.....Health, then wealth.....Cheers from Kilifornia....

[WILWAXU]

Love it!

The double kitchen island setup looks like a miniature Master Chief set :D

[monza]

Ya I guess the house is ok:) I came here looking for your shop...

This began as a napkin "sort of" sketch... and then developed from there. It was a fun project. Our designer - Jennifer Hoey Interiors - did everything from stud in. Obviously -- it's all Gwen's and my "choices" -- they give you choices and you modify (hot rod) it and steer it to what you like as they try to contain your enthusiasm.... LOL

[Jimbo1367]

Greg,
Totally love the inside as much as the outside.

[Stuart Adams]

Killer place. Congrats.

[SSLance]

So I some how missed the updates with the interior pics... Stumbled across them this morning while having my coffee and my wife walks by and sees them up on my laptop... Thanks a LOT Greg... **rolleyes**

;)

Place looks great, love the feel of the inside and the openness. I hope it is working out as planned once you got everything moved in. You are done moving in, right?

[Musclerodz]

Looks awesome Greg. Hope to visit one day.

[TheJDMan]

Hey Greg,
Just curious if you plan to add a 4 post lift in addition to your two post.

[GregWeld]

Hey Greg,
Just curious if you plan to add a 4 post lift in addition to your two post.

Yeah. Some **** has come up that changes some of my plans. So the honest answer is, no, I don't plan to do any 4 post lifts. I'm only going to have just the one hot rod - the 40 ford being built at Pinkee's.

[raustinss]

Sounds like you aren't to happy about said **** coming up and changing your plans

Wow, Mr. Weld, you are doing some drastic downsizing right now. The list of cars is down to two? Hate to see this, as I always enjoy living vicariously through you. HAHA Hope all is well and whatever has come up gets out of the way quickly.

You know they are like the Instant Oil Change places. Always trying to upsell you something. Either keeps you coming back or gets everything they can out of you during the visit.

Just know that you have brought many things here to this community and many prayers can be lifted up. Don't be afraid to let us know what you need.

Also, did you get rid of the "32?

Not this exact one - but similar -- moving the metal "horse" that's above the fireplace to a wall shelf - and putting the dress up over the fireplace.

I like it and it'll be a very nice addition.

[DBasher]

The dress is nice, I like the bowl of apples by the window, especially that it's set on a small wall with openings (light) on either side.

I really like your flooring and need to make a decision soon for mine. Did you go with laminate or luxury vinyl plank? :D
