It has been quite some time since I have posted, but let me explain. I bought an old Texaco Gas Station in April and I have been completely comsumed in the renovation. We had to completely gut the bulding and add a new roof. Recently, we added a kitchen and bathrooms and insulated so when we get air-conditioning we won't lose all the cool air through the ceiling. I am trying to decide if I want to stain the concrete or just paint it. I haven't stained concrete before, but I really like the look. I am leaning toward that, but I will need to spend some time watching tutorials and time is something I don't have a lot of.
We are calling our new station, Station 83. It is on highway 83(hence the name), which is the shortest distance from Canada to Mexico. We are hoping to attract some attention with our bright red new sign and and interesting front door. The door is probably my favorite creation so far. It was original to the building, but in really bad shape, so a friend of mine helped add gears, bolts and car parts (which we found in the station) and painted it shades of turquoise and bright green. I love it!
