Shop on the hill for Victoria and my sons hobbies

[memike]

Oh Mike, this is so sad to see.


It's seriously gonna cut into your fishing time....


Seriously though, that is looking great. I'm jealous and waiting for more pics....

I hear yea, fishing and enjoying the fresh catch for lunch or supper may be a bad thing, but I am sure there will be time for that still Rev Thank you, here is a picture just for you sire

Looking good Mike, glad to see it coming together and know it is a super feeling to have a nice place to work on Victoria and spend time with the boys. I have not seen a lift like you used to lift trusses. Looks like that helps hold it upright until you get it braced off. Proud for you brother, keep the pics coming, Joe

Thank you red I hope I can find all of the parts and gifts I have gotten threw the years to hang on the wall or hang on Victoria (her name will change after the V8 update) yep you herd it here first

No, but thinking Vick, I bet I will have a better idea when I hear my 360 pumping air threw his/her wings (Hooker Super Comp Fenderwell headers) but so far all I have is Vick.

 

[red67gts]

will that mean it is a transgender?

Mike, Congrats on getting your shop build started.
I know how long you've waited & how hard you've worked to make IT happen!!

 

[Tooljunkie]

It is looking great!
All day i was thinking about a bigger shop. 30x40,40x40, i dont know if i should attempt it.
I can divide my storage building and have what i need.

Isnt it bad luck to change a ship’s name?

Sounds good to me, I guess it is, I am not changing it I am shortening it up a bit to Vic

Congratulations Mike, Looks like you're going have a great garage for you and your son's to spend a little time working together. By the way, what are you gonna do with those 12 ft walls?

I figured that was what you were thinking. I got mine from Greg Smith Equipment. They are knowledgeable and the price wasn't bad either ($1795.00 plus $250.00 shipping). Good luck with the build.Its only been 2 years since I built my garage, I will be watching.

I have sold a lot of equipment for Greg Smith. I had a lot of customers needing lifts and equipment and I couldn't compete with the price. Lol

Congrats on the shop... Lift????
My idea of a lift is adding some concrete, a roof, a new floor jack, a new piece of carpet and keep lying on my old back!!!! ha

By the way mine is Super Symetric as well. You definitely want this feature as sometimes positioning the arms to balance the load can be difficult without it.

I can't even begin to describe the power of your own personal lift. It's just a huge game changer. I looked at a bunch of stuff and Greg Smith seemed to fit my needs...... Your shops looking good OP.....
