Everything looks awesome Paul, CONGRATS on a job well done! I didn't realize the garage wasn't attached to the house (or is it?).
Now I'm wondering with your mixers, how many duplicate and triplicate (etc, etc) do you have?

Very nice!
Looks like the "Brat" has accumulated a fantastic collection.

Eddie: I do actually have to haul my behind down to Melrose soon... Jon ferried a bunch of stuff I found while thrifting in Beltsville at the big Convention in August but could not bring on the plane.
Ken: You'll never guess who keeps asking me the question about running out of room... LOL Seriously, though, I am going to have to be very, very good for the next few years. Having said that, I am now expecting a '56 GE washer and dryer set in turquoise to fall out of the sky... LOL
Kevin: You raise a good point about duplicate and triplicate mixer models... I have lots! I am going to have to do a serious sorting and evaluation - even I don't need 5 Model 12 Mixmasters. And when I know what I'd like to find new homes for, I will be posting here first. So far, I know I can spare at least a couple of the Sunbeam Model 7, Model 9, Model 10, and Model 12 Mixmasters and I expect I'll have a couple of surplus GE and Hamilton Beach models, too.
Having easy access to the collection again has been great fun so far - I decided to swap out the electric perk in St-Lib this weekend, so it was fun to go 'shopping' in my own little bazaar.... LOL

Completed just in time for the cold season, I can't wait to see it completed! Hopefully, I'll be able to have more storage space soon! It looks like it will be in January.

Very nice indeed. I'm impressed with your dedication and stamina
And now you have a warm, comfy place to work on your appliances.
With an eye toward future acquisitions, I'd look to finding loving homes for the duplicates to make room for more variety. But that's just me
Enjoy!

wow, you HAVE been busy!
A lot accomplished since PhilR and I were there just a few weeks ago!!
Can't wait to see it again!

I said done, but...
Are projects like this ever really 'done'?? LOL
I had one additional custom-built unit in mind and it got finished late yesterday.
Behold turquoisedude's GE demo kitchen!
I had that cooktop for years now, originally intending to replace the Jenn-Air in Ogden with it. Trivia: it 'starred' in a Xavier Dolan movie in 2013.
The oven is a first-year production P7; never used it but I have electricity in the showroom so...
The GE Princess dishwasher is why I am here; when I bought it in 2007 I joined the site and learned the machine was as good as useless because the tub lid is missing. But it will finally have a purpose in life in my 'play' kitchen ! !
Still to do: install the turquoise GE range good and figure out how to finish the new unit.
And I have to say a big thank - you to Cadman (Cory) for hauling the oven and hood (and a still-not-installed turquoise sink) all the way from Iowa to Massachusetts !

WOW!
Just beautiful. I would bet you have more mixing capacity than a commercial bakery.

Whats going under the cook-top Paul ?
You could install a Turquoise GE combo or a pair of early Turquoise GE compactors.
In any case a very cool set up.

John, that's too funny - I thought another GE combo would be a good fit too! But I get yelled at when I use the one in the kitchen so a second one may not be a good idea... LOL
I'll just put a shelf with maybe doors to close it off for some more storage.

Ken, it's because we're on a well and septic tank - the GE combo can chomp through over 60 gallons in a full wash/rinse/dry cycle and although we've never run out of water or blown up the new septic tank, Hubby likes to remind me about what used to happen in Mountain Lakes!

My advice KEEP EVERYTHING - even the five matching mixers!!!
Seriously - make a museum. Charge admission. I'd pay. Make the matching mixers part of an artistic display. (Assuming you don't give them to me first : ). Or don't charge admission and sell your extras at the gift shop. I would travel to Ogden to see this and I bet a lot of other people would too.
Incredible.
I would love to see one of those GE wonder kitchen combo washers (as a toy or not) in person. That's one piece I'm missing. This inspires me to keep searching and collecting!
