Todays shop time.

I built a personal gym for my wife (and with her help) in my office I gave up for this purpose. We put 8X5 mirror on the wall and installed flat TV connected to SAT above that. Wi-Fi was already there. I will put a carpet on the floor tomorrow and order internet connected bike so she (and possibly also myself) could race with our children over Internet. Peloton Bike | Indoor Exercise Bike with Online Streaming Classes

Cool bike bike but I don't need children and others to be whooping my azz in my own home.

Sweet. We are just cleaning out our unfinished basement and having a contractor come out and finish it. We will be left with a bedroom, bathroom, common area, and most importantly a gym. Can’t wait to have a nice place to work out. Hoping for mirrors on the walls and also a tv or two. We do lots of video work out programs such as P90X and I am hoping to have more then one tv so no matter the exercise it is still in view. sure have come down in price. Any pics of your new gym?

Sometimes an extra mirror can eliminate the need for a second tv. (With proper placement).

Im too tired and old to be holding up the end of my trap bar with one hand and exchanging plate weights with the other so I made this "bar jack" earlier this month.

It is not completely equiped and finished yet but you get the idea. The white cabinet will be removed tomorrow.

My today's shop time was awful. Actually shed time. For years, I have been battling mice/rats in my garden shed which is actually part of the main house. The droppings and torn insulation, ripped open seed, fertilizer, etc. The smell that my wife said she could detect from inside the house proper finally made me get out and gut the shed, ceiling insulation, everything. All day job.

Had to wear a respirator. Smell bad. A couple dead rats and one live one. Six Hefty bags of crap. A full shop vac full of droppings and feed, etc. But I did get it done. Will need to re insulate. No pics. Just disgusting. I probably knocked off 5 years of my life even with the respirator.

Those bastard critters better not return. :smiley_aafz:

I love the big mirror! I really appreciate having a space to exercise in the basement after a long day at work, and can’t wait until it is actually proper finished walls and such and not just an open basement.

The mirror is two pieces 4'X5'X0.25" each.

Speaking of mirrors, what are you guys paying? I need to buy a couple more. My 4'x6'x 6mil (?) safety glass panels were over $400 each CDN. from local glass smiths. I was hesitant to use on-line vendors because of the freight hassle.
