HA.... no, the jacuzzi is out in the backyard.
To be clear, the garage most certainly did NOT look like that when I bought this house 4 years ago. It was just a plain-Jane setup with no decent electrical hookups, terrible lighting, no insulation and a ceiling height that would make it impossible to do a lot of the work that needed to be done.
It took about 2 years to get it all put together, and that delayed the actual truck build during that time, but the results were worth it. Now it's a great, comfortable space to work even when the Austin summers are over 100 degrees.

There is a 12-year build thread going over on CK5.com (link in my .sig) if you want to see more details in a "non social media" setting. Over 8000 posts.... 1.5 million views.... and tons of photos of the entire process from 2008 when then all started. I call it the "Might As Well K5" build because every time I would start digging into an issue (rust, etc) I would decide to just keep digging deeper to resolve every other issue I found. It felt like I was so far invested, that it would be silly to ignore issues that I knew were there... so I 'might as well" just spend the extra time to do everything as well as I could.... 12 years later, I'm still saying that same expression to myself but at least now I've reached in as far as possible and am now building my way back OUT!!!
BTW -> ORI is not really an air-shock per se... it's a nitrogen charged strut with hydraulic oil in it but charged from an upper and lower chamber to establish desired ride height and spring stiffness. They are pretty slick.
