Got a lot going on right now, hard to keep everything straight. Been packing up the shop full of 34 years worth of tools this week.
Going to search real hard for an out of way motel, there are tons of them around here in NY but they seem very hard to find anywhere near an interstate.
When/if you start searching for a lift, post your success, I'll be doing that hopefully this year.
Man that 40x80 looks huge when it's mostly empty ... like you could drive in a circle in there.

Believe me, I know what it's like to forget stuff at a time like this! We've been in the new house now for 6 weeks now and feel like there is still an incredible amount of things to do. The good thing is that it is all fun now! But, the money is still flowing out with so many things we have bought and still have left to buy. But good news on that front. As of last Wednesday, we have a signed contract on our San Angelo property. Closing is set for June 3rd.

I'm not thinking about a lift for the shop at this point. Not sure I will. I prefer working underneath a car while it's on jackstands or Race Ramps I'm more comfortable on my back reaching up than I am standing up with my arms reaching above my head.

I have been thinking about a paint booth that would double for prep room for containing dust. Having a loft/mezzanine built will probably be the first thing I will concentrate on though (once my focus changes from the house to the shop.
