Jan and John Maggs Antiques

February 2018: Workshop, galleries, and office

____________________________________________________________________________

Since our trip to Europe last month, Jam and I have been working on the basement of the new barn, where our workshop, storage area, and photo studio will be located.

We finished boarding most of the walls early last month, and have been building work and storage furnishings.

This is the sixteen-foot work bench on the south wall.

A large assembly and work table, some power tools, and a wide, open space dominate half of the workshop.

The other half of the basement contains our warehouse, now strained to capacity, pending the completion of the showrooms upstairs

While we've been working downstairs, Jim, Mike, and Steve have been working upstairs on the first floor.

They've plastered just about everything. Here's our office, ready for paint, shelving, and floor.
