New garage shop

It's amazing what a handful of people can achieve with man-power alone. I've seen a double decker bus pushed out of deep sand in Namibia by a dozen passengers......so I'm not surprised to see a lump of cast iron get pushed up a ramp.

Someone needs to explain that capability to the incompetent muppets who failed to manhandle my Hammer C3-3, removed the sliding table thus rendering it unusable, unsaleable and, in its current location unfixable. This is likely to get legal.

Great space you have there, Gary

Well, we made it to our new home, but unfortunately our belongings are held up until Friday. We are busy, however, changing banks, changing locks, registering for this and that service, and exploring the changes in the town that have occurred over the 35 years since we lived here last.

We are relieved that we actually like the house as much as we hoped we would. And the neighborhood is even nicer that we expected. Here is a sneak peek. A typical-for-the-neighborhood midcentury ranch. Built in 1963. Brick veneer and vinyl siding. I wish a previous owner had not painted the brick but so it goes.


And a view from the deck in the back. The Japanese shed will go back there somewhere.

Phew!! That must be a relief.

Nice bungalow and what looks a lovely plot. “Changing banks” intrigues me. I have to guess that banks are not national then?

Glad it all worked out, lovely looking property! Big fan of American mid century properties like that.

Some banks are national, yes, but there are many local and regional banks. We actually use a credit union, a type of bank that is owned by its members. Those are mostly local.

That’s quite a trip Gary, I did one days worth yesterday driving back to Lancaster PA from Boston, certainly don’t envy you 6 days of it. We’ve done it a few times now and I must say it’s getting easier but still I think I’d take a day of in the middle.
Best of luck and watch out behind for the crazies who weave in and out well over the speed limit, had one yesterday who missed the front corner of our car by less than 2 feet, we were in the middle lane and he was going from 3 to 1, noticeably a lot more of them near the big Cities, DC is the worst.

Edit missed a page, glad it worked out well.
Also glad you like the new place, that back view is stunning.

Looking quite full there Gary, no doubt you will get it sorted soon enough.

Very nice home Gary!

LOL....some are but there are small banks all over the place. It's how a lot of scams continue from small bank to small bank. Remind me to tell you about the day they introduced machine readable paying in slips.

Progress. The big machines and the bench are more or less where I want them. Most everything else is in temporary locations while I have the electrical circuits installed. I opted for surface mounting the wiring on the walls and ceiling to make it easier to move things later if I need to. Electricians were here today and should finish tomorrow, including routing wires in the attic for more ceiling strip lights. A cyclone dust collector will go into a closet that I'll build in one corner. The blue tape shows the footprint. I'll remove the wall cabinets.
