Well, my winter project started out as a fall project, but the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can get back to my Fairlane and possibly, my shop.

My wife wanted this room added on to utilize as a 4th bedroom. Our kids (yes, spoiled) are each 4 years apart, 16, 12 (girls) and my 8 year old son. The girls are far enough apart in age to aggrevate each other to death, so sharing a room with them is impossible. My son is getting to the age he doesn't like people to see him nekkid and the 12 year old is 'maturing' and they currently share a room so, it's a problem to an extent. The idea is that the 16 year old (junior) will be in the add on and will probably live at home a couple of years into college, then it becomes a extra living space. It's 16x16 with a 8' deep wrap around porch.

And everybody knows, if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

It's coming along, other than the concrete and the roofing, I've done all the work myself.:headscrat

You can see my Fairlane languishing in the corner of the yard.

I already know which tool I'd want if I were to win. I'd take the shrinker/stretcher
http://www.bii1.com/metal-forming/shrinker-stretcher-16.php as I already have a chop saw, the box and pan brake is about 3' too narrow, there's no stomp shear, and no power hammer, plus it'll take up less space until I get my shop built and I can use it sooner (fabricating sheet metal parts for the Fairlane). :)
