Hey Harv, I'm thinking you have visited my 50X100 shop several times but may not have visited the 20X25 storage unit I have in the other building. Thing is both units are looking better. If I pull the golf kart out and get it going I can put a couple more cars in storage. Steve (CTR)

Would love to see progress.. !!

   Floppy Disk Camera - oh Man.... Sure time is now to upgrade as all the holiday sales are abounding. but I can say-- I havnt seen a Floppy disk go into a computer in 10 Years....
New fangled cameras- Will use USB Plug in - or Micro Card Readers. This might make the floppy disk computer Obsolete....

We know your son will be able to help! Welcome to 2015!!!

I know I said I'd get pictures but the project turned out to be bigger than I figured. Seems funny that every weekend I planned to work on this last year it rained. I began saturday before last and it started raining as soon as I started pulling stuff out. I planned to work sat and sunday but it rained till monday. Working mostly alone it took the better part of a week. I was lucky enough to have a couple of helpers yesterday for several hours. We were moving bare shells about 1/4 mile and up on the shelf. The plan was to move four shells and place on top and four rollers under. We got three on top and four under just as the bottom fell out and it started to pour the rain. I did not have a camera with me and we were working as quickly as possible. I will say with to 60 plus year olds and a 20 something a video would have been more fun. No one fell and we did not damage anything. Now I have a couple of days of cleaning up and rearranging the shop. I have two more shells and only one place to put one. Guess it's time to send one out for rust repair.

OK dave we have waited long enough. I have down sized my plans and will only have one shelf holding four shells. Doing two shelves would have been a head bumper on the lower one. I'm tired of bumping my head. 

 

Dave, I also found four more A+ slot drive cans. If I had an address one would be on the way to you. Text the address to my phone or shoot me an email. Steve (CTR)

I will take some pictures today and get them posted.

It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

We all have our cross to bear. I started my little shop in a 20x25 unit in a much larger building. As time went along I kept that for storage and moved to another unit 40 x 100 with a bath. For some reason I keep buying mini stuff. Much of what I buy is for long term projects or just to save it from the crusher. I'm lucky enough to have friends in the complex with fork lifts. My newest project is building a rack in the 20 x 25 that will hold 8 (eight) mini shells elevated and 4 (four) rollers underneath. This will still leave room for two other cars and my trailer. Steel is so high I'm building out of 2 x 10s and 2 x 8s with 4 x 4 legs and steel rods coming down from the building structure. Even before it's ready I need to sell an AH sprite and MG midget to make room for the Moke I bought and another I have been contacted about. I'm looking forward to getting back 360 sq. ft. of floor space. Pictures to follow. Steve (CTR)
