Motorcycle Shop

I went to get the tractor and was within 200 feet of my road and was held up by the county road department. They were grading the shoulders down level with the road because the water was standing during rain.

I told the guy if he needed a place to dump the dirt(top soil) to just dump it im my yard. He had them dump a tri axle and a half of top soil in my yard. I spread it where the previous renters parked and ruined the front yard. That's about $500.00 worth of dirt.

Then my neighbor came over and helped my landlord level the gravel in the shop while I operated the tractor.

A very fine day I must saw.

Glad to hear about it Roy. Just cause we're spread all over this world don't mean we can't support you.

Good Job!

I think when the weather is a little more stable we will take a spin down your way one warm sunny day have some lunch and ride the country side if your up for it

3 words for you: In floor heating! Oh, and congratulations of course.

Roys on a budget, and getting it done cheap is the key, in floor heating is for old peoples bathrooms, insulation, thats more money, and winters almost over
atta Boy Roy
let me know if u need a hand, i aint that far away
a great excuse to get away for a couple of days

I am on a budget. There is no way I can cool this place like I did my last place and our summers are brutal. The AC will come on next month and not go off till October.

Thanks for all the kind words and offers to help. Roy

Seems like Carb re-builds would be a good start for business...

Concrete prices,like everything else has gone up. Last year the minimum was three yards @ $90.00+ tax + whatever.
This year it is going to be $430.00 for three yards and $470.00 for four yards. Four yards minimun. We were going to pour three yards because it was going to be too hard to float the concrete and take the hit on the last yard.
We are going to pour it all and form up another area under a lean-to where I am going to have a picnic table and grill area. Roy

Looking good Roy! Is your landlord is into bikes as well and will be sharing the space with a project of his own? Or, is he just a nice guy that likes to help people out? Either way, its a win, win situation for you. I have taken up use of our garage for the last 3 weeks (temporary paint booth and so on). Gotta give it up today in order to do an overdue oil change on the wife's van. She also wants to able to use the garage again... go figure. These projects are a real pain when you don't have a dedicated space to do them in.

12x20 is a darn site bigger than 0x0 and too big just isn't big enough. Great seeing you get a shop to work on the things you love man and best of luck!

The Landlord doesn't have a bike. His Daughter lived here before me so he never got any rent out of the place. I will be the first to do any improvement on the property. I have known him since the 60's.
All the improvements go toward the rent. I'm paid up to May so far. The concrete will get me up through summer I hope.

We are pouring Monday I hope. Roy
