zodiackiir's 1994 Ford Explorer

This is a pic of the waiting room...

You can see the back of the gas station through the windows... The little table dealie is full of wallpaper I tore off the wall right there. I'm not sure if it was original, but there was only three strips, and it was only right there. Kinda odd. All those chairs are chairs I got for really cheap, I bought six of them, should be plenty of room. The door on the right is the public restroom. The light burned out so I couldn't take pics in there.

This pic is in the waiting room looking towards the garage. The window on the left leads towards my office.

This is a pic of my office from the waiting room. It's pretty small, but it serves it's purpose.

This is the door to my office, from the garage. There's my stereo. The speakers are up above suspended from the ceiling. At the time that's the only place I had for them. On the left of the pic are two three button control stations for the front overhead doors. In this pic the covers on the controls were removed because my co-worker painted them red. I don't know why.

This is an outside view. Looking at the waiting room and part of the garage. That's my Explorer outside. Above the door is the open sign, but it's not on. Dig the banner? Made it myself.

Just a pic of the front of the garages. The left door (or bay one) door is open because my former boss was inside with his truck moving stuff out.

This is a pic of the garage. The big red thing in the middle is where our computer/printer/other stuff is usually, but since I plan on painting this weekend, I didn't wanna put a brand new computer in there. Too dangerous. Towards the back you see one window and three doors.

The window and door to the left are for the waiting room. The door in the middle is for my office, and the door on the right is for the back room where we keep all kinds of nifty stuff. However, since it is poorly lit, there's only one pic of anything in the backroom. Even though it's empty and not fun to look at anyways.

There's a pic of the garage facing the back of the building. You can see our dumpsters. I hate them there, but there's not much I can do. Also, in the lower right is the railings for the stairs to the pits below.

Alright, I was wrong, this is a pic of the back room before I cleaned it out. There are two big racks there for stocking stuff. This is before I cleaned it out, so those red bins are gone, and I moved the rack you see in the pic perpendicular to the wall so I can use both sides, and it creates more usable space. Works well, looks nice. I've been here for a year, and after I moved that rack, I found a floor drain. I never knew this room had a floor drain.

This is a really bad photo of me standing in the back room facing the garage. On the left you can KINDA see the other big rack I was talking about. On the right that kinda white shady dealie is a fridge. Which is now gone. Man, I loved that fridge. Kept my sammiches and waters all nice and cold. And when they had sales on snowcones I'd stock the freezer with them. I can't talk about it anymore... I get all emotional...

Oh man. This really blurry pic is horrible, I know. But that's our compressor. The thing is like 20 years old. And louder than hell. But she's still kicking. I change her oil monthly to keep us in bidness. And she rarely acts up. That thing on the wall to the right, with the red light... That's the auto-spitter. It doesn't work. It pisses me off.

This is the employee bathroom. You can't see it because it's hidden behind the door. But my boss bought some cheap plastic shelves. And he'd store paper products in there. And I'm not talking toilet paper. I'm talking invoices and such.

And until I worked there and fixed it, no one knew that toilet worked. And until I worked there I don't think anyone cleaned the sink.

zodiackiir's 1994 Ford Explorer

Pic facing the mirror, sink, pumice dispenser, paper towel dispenser.

I put that paper towel dispenser on the wall. Before that, it was sitting on some shelves and you'd have to half ass hold on to it and crank. I got sick of that in two days, and bolted her to the wall.

Notice the light switch below the paper towel thing. Notice there is no cover. I have no idea why. It has always been like that.

Poster on the wall of the employee restroom. Fuzzy, but use your imagination.

zodiackiir's 1994 Ford Explorer

The basement near bay one. The racks on the left are where filters go. The big red things are tanks. They hold oil. But if you asked my old boss, apprently paying for people to put oil in there wasn't a priority. They went dry about five months ago. And he owed money. So they never got filled. See the white and blue 55 gallon drums? Yeah. That's my boss's idea of oil. He got this oil from a gas station he owned and lost before I took this place from him.

Still on the bay one side. On the right All the red part of the wall is peg board. I hang stuff there. Nothing is hung there now. Then there's a work bench. Some old chairs. A parts washer. All kinds of crap. It's still down there since I haven't cleaned it out yet.

zodiackiir's 1994 Ford Explorer

Bay one catwalk. Big yellow thing is a caddy. If you look towards the bottom, you'll see a bunch of red/pinkish things. Those are rags. Boss doesn't know how to put them into the dirty rag barrel.

And here is where my digital camera got filled up.

I'll get more.
