Hmmmm long ride from Long Island

Must be why they call it "Long Island"

Infrastrucure projects are where it's at.
Always good to have a friend with heavy machinery.

And Sinistar?!

I thought you liked yourself more than that.

Let the masochism begin!

Mike A · « **Reply #50 on:** February 09, 2024, 06:51:01 am »

The last wall in the first third of the shop is done. The center support for the ceiling is done. I will be hanging joists sometime this weekend.

Sweet!
Couldn't tell how big the building was from the trench activity shot.
This will be awesome.

Mike A · « **Reply #52 on:** February 16, 2024, 05:38:58 am »

Ha.

That is only 1/3 of the building.

There are still cars and a boat stored in the rest of the building.

I will be building that out in spring time after all of the vehicles are out.

Mike A · « **Reply #53 on:** February 22, 2024, 06:18:50 am »

AC is installed.
Joists are hung.
Ceiling goes up today.
We tried last week but we miscalculated and then ran out of time.

I think there is more property shown in this one pic than there is on my entire block. I'm jealous. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Mike A · « **Reply #56 on:** February 23, 2024, 04:08:02 pm »

Thanks. Lots of work, but the end result will be well worth it.

Anytime someone wants to visit, I have a guest room.

Looks like it will be awesome.
If for some reason I'm not busier than the proverbial one legged ass-kicker guy before I become stardust again I will be knocking on the door.

Is this project why we won't see you at ZapCon I assume?

Mike A · « **Reply #58 on:** February 28, 2024, 06:39:36 am »

I am taking too many trips this year.

Something had to give, unfortunately.

He has sexy new bros to hang out with. We’re not shiny and new anymore.

I crash for free at people's houses.

Zapcon rooms were over 300 bucks.

But I really wanted to go.

I will make a trip out your way next year or maybe sooner.

Going to lay down a floor? That is precious, precious storage space. Get a winch and you can drag pinball machines up there.

Mike A · « **Reply #63 on:** March 08, 2024, 10:34:57 am »

I don't have a storage space problem.
I don't have to shove things up in the attic.

pbj · « **Reply #64 on:** March 08, 2024, 10:39:25 am »

For now.

Mike A · « **Reply #65 on:** March 08, 2024, 10:43:20 am »

I can just build another barn. Hehe.

Mike A · « **Reply #66 on:** August 09, 2024, 05:04:40 am »

Well progress has been zero.
I had a friend lose his storage space suddenly.
Dozens of arcade cabs suddenly had no home so I am storing them in my barn.
To make space in my barn to continue my work, I needed a concrete floor in my detached garage. The contractor I hired had delay after delay.
It is finally done and on Sunday I can move stuff into my garage and start working on my shop again.

My goodness, now would you look at that?

Mike A · « **Reply #68 on:** September 19, 2024, 05:18:01 pm »

Hehe.

Electric went in today. Gas is going in Saturday.

Sweet, too bad Illinois is like 22 hrs away lol. Looks like nice work man.
