PM you email address Monte. Glad to hear the trip was good. I am anxiously looking forward to the Bahamas. We leave next Saturday

That seemed to work out perfect with the house. I can say that my wife does all the house painting. I hate doing it so much that I'll leave it whatever color it came as.... not her.... everything needs a new color because these were someone else's colors

Haha yeah I'm the same way, we spent all yesterday painting and we are gonna be painting all day today but here are some pics of the garage! Painting isn't done so I won't send any of the house yet. Btw I'll shoot you my email right after this.

Garage pics!: has an 8ft door not sure the exact dimensions but it's an oversized 1 car aka perfect truck workshop lol. It also has a storage area in the back for all my tools/extra parts. It also has cable lol.

Thanks, just got the file BTW! I'm hoping to epoxy the floor today or Wednesday. Once we move all our stuff this Friday/Saturday I am hoping to get the truck moved Sunday. It's 2.2 miles from my parents so AAA can give me a hand with a nice flatbed lol.

Painted the garage floor last night, i need to wait 3 days before i can roll a car on the floor. So on Saturday I am going to have my buddies come over again and i will have them assist me in getting the truck out of the garage back on its 35s and then transported along with all my other belongings to the new house.
