    I keep telling my wife we need a vacation house with some property (for a big shop!)

    Almost 4 years and no problem so far, A county official in law enforcement (who is a friend of mine and a fine shot) lives behind it, and on the other side is a old guy who can't sleep at night, that's a bull dog with good hearing and has the cops number on speed dial,....

    But yes I do have other security measures,.... and thank you for the kind words.

    I LOVE your service station! I've always wanted to buy one to turn into a small body/detail shop. There are a few around here that some old guys own and use as service stations for fuel but that's about it. I love how they have the rounded sode of the building with all the glass. One day, one day.

    Man, that is one cool building! There's an old abandon roadside motel and cafe' around here that I always dreamed of fixing up with a Route 66 theme and reopening but with the nice, inexpensive modern motels out there it would probably go broke in a short time. Those were great times when that stuff was open. America is too over franchised nowdays.

    That's pretty cool, Stovens. I dont remember that one in particular but that's the general idea. The one around here was called Opal's; been sitting there vacant for many years. They had some great food back in the day. Now it's on a seldom used stretch of highway, the new road went around it years ago and that was pretty much the end of Opal's.

    Thanks for resizing the picture Larry......

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Wow, shinny and spotless! Time to get some oil on the floor, which shouldn't be a hassle since it looks to be coated with some sort of sealant/epoxy paint! Sweet!
