Movin junk around today

Well, after Ric took the Camaro home, I have enough room for the Nomad back in the heated garage. I spent the morning moving all these junkers around. Had to do a ton of opening and closing doors. Pretty cold here today too. I shoved the HD in the back garage, between the Chevelle and the south wall, put the hot-rod in the front shop against the east wall. I have the tractor in here now, weather channel says 5-8 inchs of snow tomorrow night. I hope I don't have to plow already. That is all.

Be thankful you have that kind of room, I'm working on getting 5 cars into a three car garage so my daughter can park in the garage this winter.

I rented a 5x10 storage unit park my zero rider in and I go and get the horse trailer and make the brackets so the ramps from the hoist work and I get it over there and the damn thing won't fit in the door. So I took a bunch of other stuff over there so I can can work the lawn mower in.....I will make it happen.

That's a bummer Ric. How about a small storage shed at your place? The 12 x 24 garage/shed that we bought was delivered for 5 grand. Amish built, very sturdy, treated floor, roll up door. The guy in St. Johns still has some left. I can send you his web-site.

Flash...I don't know how to put pictures on here without using the wifes computer in the house. I can get some though. I think!

I take it this is the place, and I have been looking at something like this. http://jimsamishstructuresandgazebos.com/default.aspx They will only allow me a 10' x10' in our subdivision but that will work for me. A 12'x24' I could get a car in that. What kind of yard prep did you have to do?

If my 55 Bel Air ever sells Im going to build another storage building about 30x50 to park our toys in and give us some additional space in our house .My current shop building is 34x48 with a shed 14x48 which is full of crap. I dont think a building can ever be big enough.

Yep, that's the place. I used the bucket on the SS Ford to scrape the top-soil off. Then sprayed weed killer on the ground. Had 7 yards of crushed concrete brought in. Spread that with the bucket and blade. For the final grade, I used 2x10s, spliced together to get the length, and a 6' level. I had it perfect until we got monsoon rains that night. I had to re-level it before the shed got here. It is listed as a "garage " on his site. There is room for a car in it. I made a nice sloping ramp out of 2x12s for the door.

I hear you on the buildings never being big enough John. It seems like the more space I get, the more junk I get to put away. I like things organized, so it can be a real pain to get stuff where I want it.

Im trying to get things more organized in my shop and shed .My boys are a big help in that area when they come over on wednesdays for supper and hang out in the shop. They like to help put things in some sort of order where I have had parts and tools and junk piled everywhere .
