More big news from Top of Texas Taxidermy

[gizmo]

Boy am I glad your not working on any of my trophies right now! Goofing off painting and stuff!

Shoot man, I’m multitasking. Putting animals together during the day and painting at night. I’m at a stand still on the painting for a bit until the contractors get the remodel and tile all finished up though.

At least I know mine are at the tannery and he should be in the new shop by the time they are back!

Mark have no fear my friend. He’s so crazy that when he was working on my stuff he jumped out of bed at 2 am because something was bothering him and ran back to the shop.

Getting closer!

 

[BWH]

Looking good dude!!!

 

[gizmo]

Thanks Brad, it’s getting there

 

[gizmo]

Getting so close I can taste it!
Show room is almost finished

They are getting ready to rebuild the support beam into a set of double sided useable shelves.

Break area is getting there

batbroom 1 is mostly painted, still waiting on the new sink to come in and do the trim.

Entry way from the studio into the shop is painted. Needs trim and flooring

This room lacks the trim painted.

Upstairs bathroom has the new toilet and shower in and tile is down. Need to paint and new sink

The rest of the upstairs hasn’t been started and that’s a project for a later date. I’m thinking of putting another business upstairs as there is a ton of room or I may just use it as storage. On the bright side I have one whole room I decided to make into my dedicated reloading room!!! I’ll take pics of it once it’s all set up, whenever the hell im going to have time to do that. Anyway here is a few more pics of upstairs, I didn’t take pics of all of it because I’ve started moving some stuff over and the rooms are a mess with boxes.

Looks great- congrats on the new place!

 

[Ridgewalker]

That is going to be such a grand work space! I like the idea of the reloading room upstairs too.
Be sure to put a sink upstairs for case cleaning.

Weeeelllll it was a support beam that I was going to box in with pine but now that you mention it..........

+1 on the stripper pole, the Rockin G-String has got to be classier than that other place In Amarillo! Lol

Rockin G-String

Go ahead and use it, might even get folks in the door! They will be surprised that you only do taxidermy but you could start that line of wildebeest under garments so it is not complete false advertisement!
