Hi,
Sigh. That looks lovely.
My old place had a very nice 30x40 foot workshop and had lots of that nice, flat, grey stuff. I could have easily ripped two of these poor old girls apart in there, and not even had any extra bits wander into the machine shop area.
Of course, I didn't work on crawlers in it, but race cars. Oh, my 420c was in there, nestled all the way in the back corner to stay out of the weather, but I never worked on it in there.
However, that place was in a subdivision and I had all of one acre. No place to play with the 420c, that's for sure, so she just sat in the corner for about seven years. I spread out race car parts all around it, though.
Now, the racing is out of my system (for a while, anyway), so we bought this old farm, and now I have lots of room to play with a crawler again. Oh, and my neighbors have projects for it, too, should I run out of my own. No nice, big, shop, though. Not yet, anyway.
I have half my machine tools in small one-car attached garage, and the other half in a 20x24 foot detached garage. I can just get a small car in there to work on it, but there's no room for spreading out the bits any longer. I'd have to pull the bits off, outside in front of the door, and bring them in to work on them. An addition is planned to correct this imbalance in the Force, but isn't likely to occur until about this time next year. :p
Oh, and I really need the space, too. I've fixed several of the neighbors' tractors in the 11 months we've been in the new place. Also, I do have a 430w wheel tractor that I bought as a parts machine and then decided that it was in good enough shape to keep intact, but have yet to overhaul. Y'all know how *that* goes!
