Not much, moving on Sept, 3,4,5, closing tomorrow, I'll post a pic of the garage, cant even see the car! moving the house first, and all the important stuff in the garage, and then the car,

getting ready to get a survey on where the shop needs to go,

Got a job working for Lockheed Martin, don't really want one but, I figured I better take it, because when I want one, there will be none!!

Very good!
My brother has been out of work for 2 1/2 years. He won't settle for anything less than the job which pays the most money....which is why he's been out of work for 2 1/2 years.

I have moved, well the house that is, garage is still 1/2 full at the other house, I go there 3 days a week after work, throw stuff away, pack boxes, bring tools to the new garage,

New job is good, its like a giant fab shop, drilling holes, mounting boxes, routing cables, day goes by fast, and I work with alot of people I know, there's only about 25 of us,

a architect (sp) was over on sat with the builder both friends of mine, so, its in the works, not on here much, come on look around, then leave, between this house, the old one, cheerleading, new job, not much time for anything,

Steve68-between this house, the old one, cheerleading, new job, not much time for anything,
Oh and the truth finally comes out, your a cheerleader! All this time!

I understand about the busy life. I moved seven years ago this December and I am still scarred deep. What a life changing event that was. I wish you the best of luck and pray for a smooth transition.

We (BMF150, Gmag, Futureuser, etc.,etc) will all be sitting back with nothing to do except help Steve with his car. You worked that out perfectly!

well, the old house is rented out, the architect drew out a shop that would cost 160-200K to build, that ain't happen, cash is king!!! so we had him change a couple of things!!

The 68 body is at the new house taking up residence in the garage, everything else is in a POD on the side of the house,

started painting the outside of the new house, screened enclosure going up soon, lots of work to do.
