Sorry for the lack of updates, life has had me by the horns recently... Here is what I have going on right now.. Went to an auction and scored tons of cool stuff for cheap, one of which is this old Dayton floor model drill press that works! Just needs all the rust removed from sitting outside...

Sorry for the lack of updates, been really busy!

The motor is labeled 230v but the start capacitor is labeled 110v, is this normal? The lift worked fine going up and down a few times testing things, then once I tried to lift a car the start capacitor melted.... My brain is fried for the evening =/ Any ideas?

Got a steal on this thing, I planned on fixing and flipping it.. But might end up keeping the darn thing..

Little progress..

Yes, storage only. I've got the 2x10 temporary in place at the moment with the ends resting where they are. Ive got 4x4 posts for the supports along the wall and the corner. I should have some better pics with progress tomorrow!

Playing around with the loft idea..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Got the lift installed today, I need to extend the stop bar at the top to extend down below my rafter. It's a tad tall =/ But hey, we will make the best of it.. And once I get power to the building, this is the first thing going on the lift.. I'm...

My high rise doors came today!

I forgot to take some finished pictures today, I will get some soon.. But the finished concrete is so smooth, feels like a skating rink almost..

Dirt today, Concrete thursday.. Got pushed back on the list I'm assuming due to weather... Also upgraded the doors to "high rise" doors so they will **** up against the rafters..

Here in the next couple of weeks I'm going to add the lean-to...s.. remove the metal on the sides and use it to enclose the add on's to give ma a 30x54-60ish.. Still haven't decided on final lean-to size.. The reason I didn't have them do it when they built the building was cost at the time...

I've been lurking here for a bit and finally ready to post, they delivered the materials today!! And left some nasty ruts in my yard.. Actually, it's a 30x30x12 and will have a 12' enclosed lean to on each side.. open to the main shop.. One side will be the "metal shop" with my chop saws...
