    Hi Dave,

    The move will start officially when the house closes. As mentioned above we have started to move stuff to Idaho storage already. While the house is being built we will be staying with daughter and SIL. We will see how long it takes before we will need to move to an appartment. I will see if the builder can finish the shop first, or at least get it weather tight, so I can start moving the machinery over. I will hope the new owner will agree to let the machinery stay in the shop for a few months till my new shop is ready.

    As a side note, wife's sister and BIL have decided to move up to Idaho early next year and are coming up next week to look for a house to buy. If they get one they will start to move things up right away. Who knows, maybe they will want us to house sit for them.

    Jack.

    Dave, the new shop will be 30X40 with a 11 or 12' ceiling.

    Wall height adds very little to the total cost of a building, especially if it's a metal pole barn type. I've kicked myself many times for not pushing mine to 12' or even 14' to allow plenty of room for a lift.

    Cooler in the Summer and winter! My Uncle had a steel barn with a high ceiling on my Grandma's 60 acres of grape vineyards. Even in the 110 plus summers it was cooler in there than outside, must have been the high ceilings.

    Hi all, I am finally starting to work on the 34. Actually I started a few months ago but didn't take any pics. The house was supposed to be turn key and basically was. We were having all the landscaping done too and that is where the problems started. The first landscaper got to about 3/4 done then skipped out leaving me to find another one. $3600 later the unfinished part was done. That turned out to be only faze 1 as it turns out as we could see that more needed to be done to have the yard as we wanted. You know how this works; you look through some mags, see some other yards that are really nice and yours now doesn't look so nice. Soooo... I start to do the improvements myself to save some money. What I do is an improvement but is taking too long so in comes another landscaper. $10,000 later the yard is looking better.. To shorten this post a little we are still having more work done still doing some myself. Factor in two hunting seasons plus the scouting involved and it's a wonder I get anything done on the 34. I have added some pics on this post showing some of the work I have managed to sneak in. One is the outside of the shop and some of the inside. Two pics are of the rumble lid hinges I made. Another pic is of the first hinge collars that the hinge swivels on. When the rumble was closed the lid didn't fit right. I remade the collars to be eccentric so I could move the lid forward and backward, up and down. I didn't get a pic of the new collars before the lid and hinges were assembled. Except for the lathe and the mill most of the equipment is on casters so they can be moved out of the way when not being used, leaving room to move the 34 on and off the new two post. The shop itself still is not the way I want it but it works for now. Will add more pics in another post as 5 seems to be the limit.


    Jack

    P.S.I don't know why the pics are so big but they are 2304X1536

    I had to look close at those hinges, to see if they had craftsman embossed. (I thought he maybe used wrenches for the hinges.)
