I thought I would also share a few photo's of my shop restroom that I am fixing up. I want to add more signs and a couple of old maps, etc.. The craftsman box is my linen closet. I also have a shower in it that isn't visible in the photo's, it comes in real handy!! ???

You know some of you really make me sick.  Your so inventive and imaginative.  Great looking room.  Who came up with idea of using the wrench for a towel bar?  Needless to say I am not sick, just envious of your talent.

Thanks guy's. Please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to brag, ok maybe just a little. I just wanted to share the rewards of doing restorations. It's a very unique and profitable business that I really enjoy. The sink and soap dispenser came from the abandon electric shop in the cement plant that I work at. The sink is said to be from the 20's. My dad was an electrican at the plant for 37 yaers and used the sink and soap dispenser on a daily basis. So I had to have it for my pops. The wrench/towel bar holder idea came from just trying to maintain a garage theme in the restroom. I am also adding a screw driver handle to the toilet flusher handle. The old 40's trash can I found at a local antique store, it's the type that you step on the lever a the lid opens up. I am looking for old condom and cologne vending machine to add the restroom as well. :)
