Bump. How's life treating you Andy?
@Grizz1963, any updates?

I was chatting to Andy earlier today and yesterday.

Yesterday he had a tracked digger/backhoe on site, river views etc…… and at $150.00/hour it cannot sit still.

So he was digging a rather large basement and garage complex for a new house build.

He has been clearing a ton of brush, and a loads of other work.

So the man is certainly burning both candles at both ends, which means he has little time left to eat and sleep.

That is our Andy.


I will pass the boards regards on to him.

Thanks for the info Grizz, I talked to Andy a couple of weeks ago as well. He doesn't let grass grow under his feet for sure. He also showed an induction heater for getting steel to red hot in just a few seconds.

Clever Clever guy, our Andy.

He forwarded those clips of the induction heater turning those thick chunks of steel,red hot so fast.

Alchemy I tell you.

I didn’t realize he was going to be doing the digging. Andy definitely stays busy. Looking at the view, I don’t think it’s near his shop unless it’s on the far East side. Actually this looks like the property he has SW of his place. We rode the show truck over there.

I dig your digging out some nice new digs!

Finally building that retirement home and workshop?
Hi Guster!

Actually I'm building for a lady friend (she happens to have a yellow FJ Cruiser). I'm staying put where I'm at. I can't seem to get my shop cleaned up.

By the way, I see a garage size tag. How does one go about admitting that?

Go to the top of your thread, and maybe page 1. On the right are three dots, an ellipsis if you will. Click and Edit thread. Don't change the title please, because we are all accustomed to it. But right there is a drop down where you select the size.

Ha! Rian ratted me out.

But I wasn't running the track hoe, just watching, and paying.

The new place is 180 ft above the Cimarron river and has a nice view. I'll try to post some pictures if I can figure out how.
Nice views no doubt but that old Cimarron takes what she wants when she gets angry.

Thanks! So easy...

Hey Andy, it is good to hear from you.

Thank you, Vince

And you say I'm busy. Nice to see you posting again. we've all been waiting patiently for your return Buddy.
Thanks, Don. Life has been crazy for everyone.

Andy,
Welcome back! Looks like you're keeping busy.
Thank you. Busy are us.

Good morning. Is breakfast ready?
Ummm, breakfast has turned to...

Good morning!

Nice views no doubt but that old Cimarron takes what she wants when she gets angry.
Ha! It's a real river for sure. The site is 180 ft above the river so if the water gets that high I'll be looking for a guy in a big boat with lots of animals.

Glad to see you posting, Andy! I for one have missed your postings. I have learned much from you.
Thanks, friend. Kind words are always appreciated!

Glad to see you back.
Thanks, Blake!

Induction heater is so cool. I just talked to Andy a couple of days ago and he is busy laying block for the foundation on the house, more to come.

Just had a video call with Andy on the building site.

It is an impressive place he is building.

He is clearly working his **** off.
