Plenty of room to tent or truck camp. Campers are fine as long as they are 1 ton based or smaller. Anything bigger you need to contact me first. I have limited spots for very heavy campers.

Posted a list of current folks signed up in the first post.

Glad to have you Jeff.

Got a bit more space to use. Had some concrete poured today.

This was a former storage room with a gravel floor. Don't ask me where everything that was in it is going but it won't take up the whole place. The plan is that the roadster will ultimately be parked in here with storage on each side. The room is 16x16.

This is an outside (for now) space just outside of the lift room. I wanted a place where I could sand and wet sand and not have water standing all over. My lift room slab has a drain but the concrete guys somehow neglected to slope the concrete to it so any water on the floor just stays where it falls.

This slab has a non-slick finish and drains away from the edges toward the center and then off the slab to the south.

Finally this is another 'storage' area....about 18x14. The main thing that was in here was a big pallet of ceiling insulation, some siding, and Ivan the red. It will become a storage room and much of the 'stuff' that is stashed around in various places will be stored there. It has a 10 to 12' ceiling so there is lots of cubic feet of storage area.

I've got a lot of space in the attic that is not being used and I'm determined to put stuff up there that hasn't been used in a while. I've got a bunch of wood working tools and some old Imperial parts that I don't want to sell but just want them out of the way.

September 13 is going to be here before I know it.

Hi Kerry

Great to see you have more usable space, I poured a floor in an area that was sand floor last fall sure makes it easy to move things around now. That added an area 24 x 26 but it's now full and I can't see the floor.

5 years ago I doubled my shop's footage. Took about 6 months to be full again. No more additions! I will just buy more stuff!!!

Six weeks to go. Where did the time go?

Updated the anticipated attendance list in the first post.

Shop is a disaster, I better start cleaning and putting tools away.

I had hopes of having a shower and bathroom done by this year's meet but that's looking doubtful. Shower maybe...

The only large project so far is Dan Pate's COE. If you're planning on bringing something larger than a door or fender, please contact me in advance so I can plan space. Work tables and such are limited so if you can bring sawhorses etc it would help.
