Hello every one, I'm back again. Ended up having to get a different computer, old one crapped out again and I decided not to throw any more money at that thing.
Holy smokes Dave, you've been a busy guy! Looks like your new place is coming together well.
What have I been up to? Well, just got done putting my 97 F250 back together again. Last spring I had to install a new concentric slave cylinder, which involves dropping the transmission and transfer case, and as long as it was apart I installed a new clutch kit. The truck ended up sitting around most of the summer untill a couple of weeks ago when it was hooked on to the cattle trailer to move some cows. After a short time the brand new clutch started slipping badly. CRAP! Into the shop and back apart. Turns out that while the truck was sitting for a couple of months the #%^$*& mice had filled the bellhousing full of crap, whitch in a short time worked into the pressure plate so that it wouldn't release.
I hate mice.

Looks like you've been busy Dave.

Here's what I did this past Saturday.





Just shy of 24 yards of concrete went into the floor and a 4' apron out front. next project will be insulating/finishing the interior and getting power out there.

Thanks Dave. Once everything goes back in there, it won't look nearly as big.

Thanks Pete, should be really nice once it's insulated and finished inside.

Good evening everyone. Looks like we've got indian summer this weekend. Hope everyone gets caught up on their outdoor progects.
For the record, the old timers defined indian summer as a strech of days with well above normal temps that occur after the first hard freeze. Since I'm becoming an old timer I feel obligated to pass this on.

Good morning Dave and the rest of the WI crew. I have been out to WI a few times and my inlaws lived for a period of time in Kenosha.
