Hang in there man. I'm going on 3 yrs since I started. I'm finally using the space as intended and the satisfaction is indescribable. It'll be worth it for sure. The learning takes time. Just keep chipping away.

Dang. I just saw your blue print. 3 floors! Maybe you already said it but what are you planning on doing with floors 2 and 3?

man i love all the old equipment and the DIY mentality. Keep the updates coming. I cant wait to see this come together. Im in central PA with the same clay problem.

I was able to get the front side pretty well rapped up this week. Ill be taking the scaffolding down and moving to the other side this weekend. Im also picking up the steel to build my large carriage doors today.
