Hey guys! I've been moving from one house to a new house me and my girl just bought. It was built in the 60's and has not been upgraded or changed until now. The original rotary phone is still on the wall. So I've been changing all sorts of things, moving some walls and all new floor etc etc. And most importantly there is tons of room for a shop in back. We got really lucky on this property - I mean really lucky. I'll post up some updates once we get the internet hooked up. :D

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I'm going back to working on the tile now... then paint...

Congrats Ryan!
I thought you'd been missing a little bit.

So ... are you going to restore the rotary phone? Next project?

Back online for a bit. I would have to replace the guts of the phone. They don't work when you hook them up even. Something to do with all this new fangled digital technology...

Back to work. Drywall texturing is calling me.

It's water pump seal time on my dirtbike. The guys want me to go racing with them this weekend all the sudden. I have to do house work though. : ] You don't know how bad I want to work on anything besides house remodeling.

Don't feel too bad.. I have to move to a different location in Sylvania, GA before December 1. More pics to come after the shop is reopened in 5-6 weeks. Below is an aerial view. The John Deere is going to get a workout.

Yep, another year at least. After Jan 1st we can work something out to get the engine. The current build will be complete from the new location.
