Thank you!

The last little project before we had our son was born. The shop had these 3 pvc lines in the middle of it and I was tired of tripping on them. One was a water supply line that happened to run through the sprinkler system 🙄. One drain, and one electrical. Ground level and capped for now with...

Dang the old shop looked empty when I was done moving. Our old place sold in 3 days with multiple offers. We are very fortunate. The new owner is a car guy and sounds like he'd got plans for the place so you might see him on here. I left him the large American flag since I just don't have a...

Here's the game plan on the shop. I need to find a mason to reprint the corner where the brink and limestone meet. It's not something I'm gona tackle and I sooner pay someone. Also I need to upgrade the electrical service and sub panel. Currently 70amp breaker being feed from the house with...

The dune buggy and 'ol blue get the deluxe accommodations in the new shop. The previous owner had a man door and adjacent door to make for a pretty good opening. But the at some point he trimmed around them added a couple shelves on the back side. I opened them back up and started moving in.

The lean-to on the back garden shed has just enough room to store Bob my '90 w250. I really need to fix the leaking transmission and sell this thing.

Moving as always *****! The house stuff went well, no real pickups to mention accept hiring last minute cleaners after the hard wood floor contractor left a layer of saw dust everywhere 🤬. The shop had some hiccups. I was moving my air compressor from some vibrations pucks onto a 24x24...

Well da'da new shop. For the record my old one was 30x40x14. This ones a little smaller. 36x24x10. It did ever put a lift in my old one although I'd thought about it a time or two. The previous owner and original builder had divided this garage in two with an insulated a uninsulated...

Well growing Family! We added a whopper! All 10lbs 11oz of him! I'm going to get you caught up on shop stuff because what else does a dad do sitting in the hospital while mama & baby sleep.

Just sitting here in front of the shop drinking a refreshing beverage listening to some good tunes. Lamenting the fact that a voluntarily agreed to give up my small little corner of tranquility. That's right kids. I'm moving. My wife and I made a offer on a house on the the Northwest side of...

So back in January I went out hunting during Kansas' extended doe season. Kinda uneventful just saw a bunch of bucks I didn't see during the regular firearm season. 🤔 The last day in the last hour of shooting light I harvest a nice healthy doe. No tag soup for me this year. Any ways I put...

I've repeated this recipe several times now. 2x4's biscuit jointed together, topped with 3/4" plywood glued & screwed down to the 2x4s. Topped with fiber board counter sunk screws. I replaced my previous top twice but have swiped some conveyor belt scraps and parts room table topper that extend...

I haven't been keeping up in the shop stuff. More of ecking out an existence, works been crazy busy and never let's up it seems. Adding the 2-1/2 yr old in the mix makes it fun & exhausting. I did take the little fella to pick up this market place find. Rolling service cart with a damaged top...

In all its glory. These 8274 winches are still cool as all get out. Might not be the highest weight capacity but good line speed and large aftermarket support.

I was killed time between work appointments and stopped at a dilapidated pawn shop. I've driven by several times but ever stopped. An old lady in the back was watching reruns of bonanza on a grainy TV. Place was full of crappy lawn equipment on Chinese tools. Before I gave up on finding any...
