very, very nice. the truck in the background is hella cool. Is that the D700? pics?

[70chall440]

Nope, that is my Jeep FC170

Wow beautiful! You are a lucky guy!

[70chall440]

Thanks, I like it all. Hard to keep from getting more. This is one of my shop's, I have another 40x60 directly in front of this shop which I use for working on the vehicles. That is where my Cuda project is at along with my lift, welders, metal working tools, etc. My D700 unfortunately has to sit outside... no more room.

              The Jeep is really cool.      I love stuff like that.   Wanna sell it.   

[70chall440]

Yes it is pretty cool. It currently has a Buick V6 in it which runs pretty good but it has some cooling issues as well as some electric issues (some of the 12 wires in it...).

No, it isn't for sale. Thinking of putting a 4 cyl Diesel in it at some point.

This will be my shop. I bought this place three years ago. The barn is 105 years old, 35 x 55 with I guess about a 20 foot extension built on which I will rip off and build another extension. The entire building is post and beam and doweled together. There are 55 foot, 8 x 8 pine running under the roof along the top of the walls, the hip of the roof and along the peak. 10 x 10 pine supports going up to the roof supporting the roof and hay mow. I plan to rip the old barn board off (and sell it - I guess there is a big market for it) and sheet it in with tin - replace the roof and pour a new floor with in-floor heat. I will blast all the support structure and apply a wood sealer and plan to build a loft from pine log around the perimeter. I tried to convince my wife we should build a barn-house to no avail...if any of you have ever looked at some of the amazing barns that were converted into houses you would know why I want to do this.

[70chall440]

I completely get where you are going. If there wasn't such a market for that wood, it would be very cool to leave it in place and side the interior to it looks like it does not from the outside and all new and cool in the inside.

Sheeeshh!! You guys make it pretty tough to compete! 70 chall set the bar so high that I can drive under it. LOL As for onebadfish, don't go shooting your mouth off to the wife too much about that barn house, or you might just talk yourself out of a potentially most excellent playhouse! Check out the price of that barn board- it wouldn't surprise me that you get enough for it to do the new siding for free. Both you guys have awesome man caves and now I'm suffering from garage envy- bad.

Here are some pictures of my working shop, a bit messy but I cannot work in it and keep it clean and organized at the same time..

This is all my room available.
Parked one a couple of inches from each other. Move one to access the other. Sucks but land space is a premium out here. At least we have the good weather to allow putting them outside most times it's needed.
Note the additional shelf hanging down over the Challenger. Use every inch I can.
I definitely have shop space envy...

I have been there as well and completely know the feeling.
