I am Tom's former neighbor, and I have made a few trips out to check the building progress and things just keep moving forward out there. I did a small trip around the house the other day, but I am a little slow, as I recover from having my meniscus removed from my left knee. I had to get out of...

Yes, as I ate my bowl of cereal and checked my email, I looked out the window and saw the big orange truck out front of the Payne house. Since Tom and I had talked Saturday, I knew what was going on. Looks like they handled things very well, and the car will arrive in pristine condition. That is...

You know Tom, when I drove by the shop the other day I did notice some deep ruts in the field next to the shop, now I know why. Santa had quite a load on when he landed, how do I miss these things coming into town ?? Very nice looking, I need to make a trip out to see you.

Merry Christmas to you, Chris and the rest of the family from your neighbors.

Hi Chris, I thought it would please you and Tom to see this thread has spread to many forums (I'm sure you probably knew already), but when John asked if I knew you and Tom I realized how small our computer world is. Good to see your car John, here's mine, although it is totally disassembled...

PM was sent to Bumpy55, hopefully I sent it yt o the correct person. Bumpy, if you see this confirm if you got the PM.

Thanks utahdog, we live in a small town and I know we both believe in helping any of our neighbors. Anyone that has read this thread understands that Tom will help anyone that asks, I know he would do the same for me, and has. Now back to the developments on the shop.

I'll chime in here, I am Tom's neighbor and the guy he called to help with the welding table, I can confirm it is heavy! As a former Printing Equipment Technician I have moved some very heavy equipment in my years, so the table didn't concern me too much, but with Tom's attention to details we...

As Tom's neighbor and a visitor to the shop a few times, all I can say is the pictures don't tell the entire story, it's a jewel of a shop. Tom does great work and has thought every inch of the shop out. I helped with the L-79 Nova and working in the shop was a dream, lots of great music, plenty...
