Welcome, good to see a fellow fire fighter on the board. 28 years in the fire service.

Very cool...way to go wife.

Completed the 4 X 40 inclosed leanto addition to the back of the shop. This was divided into 3 sections. One for the pool stuff, one for general yard stuff and the third for the 80 Gal. Air compressor. This was moved from inside the shop to outside. I was then able to hard plumb all of the air...

8' foot from the front wall and 6' foot from the side wall. This gives plenty of room if you need to pull an axle on the side wall clearence and lots of room to move around the front of the vehicle and still put a work bench in front if you need too.

40 X 40 building, 11 1/2 inch thick concrete (this due to the mexican labor sitting down once the boss left and not putting the sand in) monolithic pour with rebar in the footing and I cut the floor. Here in Oklahoma it's a given....concrete will crack and if you don't have termites...just wait.

This is where I get my building materials. bbmofokc.com I'm sure there is something like this in Colorado as well.

Yep do it myself as well as friends and family. I get my monies worth out of my lift. It usually adds up to finding other problems and fixing more things. Isn't that what this is all about?? Useing our tools and skills.
