Well winter is closing in here
Had a good summer of construction & sorting at the west shops .
Now back to shop 1 & do more around here .

[That's a nice looking set up .
It will be a good place to play around in for the winter months .

Nice job there 1911 That will be a great space to play in . Mine is still a work in progress . Me getting that far is still a dream . I like to break up the construction with smaller projects & sorting & organizing . I am making better strides since I retired . Just a big job for one old ma...

Those temps are crazy Jay . Nothing like that around here ...... yet . I do split shifts on those kind of days here . The high humidity we get here can really take it out of you . At least with some power in my west shops now I can get in front of a fan for a small break . I do high work when it's ...

Now that's the fun stuff Jay !! It's what a shop should be like . I try to get some time in on shops every day . I work slow but hey I'm old ! :P I post every day in the other forum I'm in . More there take part in the conversations & it is a lot easier to see & post on for me . The sky jac...

I hope they all come out nice .
When the heat & humidity hits here I will work on stocks .
I tried out the sky jack yesterday ...... that thing goes a long ways up !
I managed to get 3 more 8' lights up yesterday .
A guy need sea legs up on those !

Thanks sako .
Next I will finally get going on the stock for me Winchester 1873 44- 40
A lot of fitting needs doing on new wood .

I bought a skyjack to work on my west shops .
That should help a lot with the high work .[/size][/b]

For winter 2023 .
So far I managed a few done stamps on guns .

I probably won't shoot it much so will try the hammer extension cpj told me about .
I do have a few other choices I can make to go shoot .

Building shop 3 & 4 has really cut down on shooting .
Doing the construction myself has set me way back on things I would rather be doing .

Winding down for winter around the west shops . No heat out there yet . Have put in a good summers work out there & soon will be in shop 1 messing with treasures . I picked up a Contender in 44 & 375 . It should be a fun shooter once I get the scope adjusted so my fat thumb will fit under i...

I only have 4' more to go on the floor on the second floor of shop 3 . Then I can start on walls & rafters . They are calling for in the 80s for the next few days so I won't be working in that heat up there . Once it cools back down I will be up there pounding away a lot of floor.JPG [/size][/b]

I am laying sub floor on my second floor of shop 3 now ..... it's 16' x 50' area It is a pain in the butt to deal with . I will probably put under lament over the sub floor after I have all the walls & wiring done . Then decide on what type of flooring I want up there . I am thinking a lament f...

You could look at some floor epoxy . I did that in my one garage area & seems to hold up well . It's grey but you can add flecks on it if you want . Then it would be sealed & if you wanted to you could put a small area rug .Parts & things always hit the floor & it's nice to have it ...

Thanks Gaila . It is taking a long time but worth it in my mind . People not wanting to work & the prices going way up for materials hasn't helped much at all .Shop 3 will be for my treasures & a place to relax . The other shops will be for working on projects . Already thinking 7000 sqft i...

You guys are doing really nice jobs ! I am still working on mine ........ not as fast as I would like but it's moving along . I spend a lot of time organizing & working on things in the shop . With the days getting shorter I had to get some lights up to see to work . I hope to have the first fl...

Guess you can't have a short reply on here .
This is a really strange set up .
Hard to see the small type when replying ........ not like another forum I go to .
