Hi Nation!
Well I haven't posted up in a while, things have been very busy at work. We have been doing some product upgrades and are currently working on a manual transmission and a ratchet drive system for our race car. The chassis builder called this week finally asking for my height weight and size to start building my roll cage for my car.
I don't know if I mentioned a few months ago we were shopping for a building to keep our motorcycles in.
Well what we wanted a U S Steel building was going to be $10.000 waay out of our budget, the wooden one they sell and finance at Lowes are about $7500, the cheapest was Coast to Coast which started about $3700.
Well SRAD always watches the want ads pretty close and found this building frame 18 X 60 for $250!

Well we took it apart and took it home

It was just the frame nothing else so we bought Metal, screws and gaskets for about $900.
Overhead door, garage door opener and walk through door were just under $500.
We never have tried anything like this before but hey just how difficult could it be?
Originally the side walls were only 6 ft so we cut up the roof beams from one set of trusses to make new side walls that were 8 ft tall.
We allready had a slab so we anchored the base and framed up the walls

and started putting on metal.

Trying to stand on a ladder 11 ft in the air and hold onto a 20ft long piece of metal can be a challenge to say the least!
It basically requires 3 people with little or no common sense and pray for no wind gusts!
/shop/done.jpg[/IMG]Piece of cake! almost finished!
Well it took a little longer than we expected (about 3 months) but things are looking pretty good now it's 18ft X 20ft water tight and all we need now is to wire the electricity and put the trim on the outside. So here's a few pics of the Heavy Bus's new home!

All in all it's pretty nice just not quite as large as we thought it was going to be(seems to have shrunk! 18 X 20 seemed pretty big when we started!) but still plenty of room for our bikes one car work bench tool box etc etc.
So thats where I've been for a while helping SRAD finish our shop up. I do have some things coming up including swingarm extensions, and who knows what else.
