That looks like a really great space. I’d love to have that kind of room. I’m excited to see what comes!

UNRUH Thanks for stopping in, I say this every spring "this is the summer I am going to finish the garage". I really hope to stay focused this year and make some progress!

Its looking good. I'm also in the process of fixing up my 30x40 garagejournal style.

So on the two kaws, its been a while and I can't really see the seat graphics on the one. But I"ll hazard a guess because back in the late 80's early 90's we were Kawasaki people. I'm going with '91 and '86!

My last Kaw was a 94 kx80 my dad got a steal on from a guy that bought it for his newly ex wife and just wanted it gone. After that I went to the other "K", KTM! Sadly I sold my last pumpkin before I bought the house two years ago :(

Keep it up!

Nice shop.
How's the moisture level inside of it?

I'm thinking of going metal but not sure yet.
I'm in Ohio so pretty much the same weather.

Finally put together the H.F. 20 ton press. Need to square it up and tighten every thing and put it in its spot in the shop. But at least it is together.

Nice bikes of all kinds! You definitely use your space well. I have the old version HF press and waited almost 5 years for the air/hyd jack to drop back to previously price level($89). A welcome addition to the press as I'm too old and impatient to hand pump a 20T jack. It works on my tubing bender, too. Bet it's hard to budget for tools vs insulation, etc.

rixtrix1 thanks for stopping by, yes I like all forms of motorcyling. Not really sure how much use the press is going to get so not sure if I will upgrade to the air/hyd jack but you never know.

A few month's ago I bought a 10x20 carport kit from H/F, well after a couple of windy days it didn't hold up so well, but the roof and the roof frame did hold up, looks like just the leg's got bent up. So I bought some 4x4 post's to rebuild it. Here is the start.

Got the roof framing up today on the carport, took all afternoon by myself, was a bit windy but got it done. Going to wait a couple of days to put the roof on. Post pics soon of roof.
