    took the first step.....................

    on my new shop

    I met with the concrete guy today and hired him to pour and finish the concrete pad next week

    Then I will be putting a steel building on top of it

    anybody want to come and help me move?


    When you can't run anymore, you crawl

    if you can't crawl, you find somebody to carry you.

    the concrete pad is 19 X 22

    the actual building is 18 X 21

    for reference, I'm working in an area about 1/4 that size right now

    That's about the same size as the ground floor on my house.

    I'll help you if you help me. Sounds like you're going to have a nice shop.

    I just disconnected my grinders and moved them to storage, and am packing up my shop. It really sucks. Good luck with the new shop and post progress pictures.

    Soup for the win. Also, a JD logo in the concrete is a MUST (I will pay for that)

    I'd love to help you move Ken but I'm afraid I'll be watering my lawn and then sweeping the driveway at that time. Congratulations on the new shop! Be sure to take lots of pictures.
