“This is the West side of the shop. Its set up as a series of shopfronts. On the lower left is the pedalshop. It houses some of my restored pedalcars, Tonka toys and a restored Whizzer motorbike.

The second story are all fake fronts that hide the loft storage area (lotsa scary crap up there). Above the pedalshop is the Dentist Office. Its a tribute to my dad who was a dentist . He died of a heart attack at age 38. I was 10 yrs old then.

Still miss him.

In the lower middle is the lunchroom. It is disguised as the "Flamingo Diner" Its really a great spot to have lunch, meet clients, or just take five.”

“Above the diner is the whorehouse "Rositas Rooms". As a kid growing up in Butte, Montana these things were just an intergral part of the landscape.

Next is the Fire Station.I knew a lot of firemen as a kid, and putting it next to the whorehouse just seemed appropriate.

I have a hot rod bumpercar named "Thunderpig" which sits inside the Fire Station. For more on the pig, click here.

On the far right is Backalley Floral... Its really the john.”

This is a view looking down at the south wall from the loft.

“The workbench is 1/2 in steel plate 20 ft long. Its well lit and a great workspace. The cabinets I made from particleboard which we get around here for free, cause the mill is just down the road, I skinned them with aluminum diamondplate. Its hard to get a good picture of it because of all the reflections.”

“All in all theres just under a half acre of sheetrock on the walls. Me and my buddy Dana hung and taped it all by ourselves. The thing on the left is a carved wooden circus wagon.”

My buddy John   designed the sign that sits above the main door. I carved and painted it out of signfoam.
