our new place has a
30 x 45 foot man cave :shocked:

with an additional
30 x 30 for air brushing and assembly
on the un-used (unfinished) second floor

RUT RO.....:confused:

the madness begins :drool:
at Ravens plug land

You are doomed!!!!!!!! lol

I just moved and set up a new man cave........good stuff!

I don't have any Raven Plugs..:hee:

I don't think there are any yet??:confused:

yup.. actualy worse than that but I cant say it here... UT OH!:biglaugh:

With that much available floor space you can set up a factory.

sounds like man-barn :)

Where did you move to ?
Still in same general location or more towards Me ? GPS in hand..
LOL

Congrats

VB

That's bigger than my yard!!:drool:

I had to flip the delta lathe upside down
[too top heavy]
yesterday and slide it down a long plank
by myself into the huge basement

my lathe tools were found! WTF? :huh:
but they now need
some major restoration :doh: :wall:

as they got buried
in a bad (leaky roof)spot
in the old decrepid BARN...

Kevin your on the short list :o)

just 12 miles for the wife to commute now
instead of 42 miles...ya- hoo

i am expecting gas prices to double
to 6 bucks per gallon when
Israel confronts Iran

Your Man Cave is bigger than my house.....:shocked:.....

If the basement is that big, how big is the house? If I put my lathe is the middle of my front lawn we might be about even. :rotf2:

Breaking "new ground" is always a [[[huge task]]]

But i have farmer neighbors that will disk harrow it for me
then i just have to rebuild the troy built carbuerator :uhuh:
and then i'll be kickin some ass.

i have so much un- packing and organization to do
its incredible...Mind boggling in fact
lots of site work and some clearing to do (downed tree)
But >>>>right now<<<< i am totally wrecked
Black and blue...even broke a finger

i have accumulated so much STUFF over the years.
that the cellar now looks like a ware house LOL

spent the day disassembling a Glass green house
(i am getting a tan already too....like a friggan red neck lol )
that i will re-assemble here to use as the starter (flats) house

and then add to that as needed....in two directions

i have one real nice BLUEberry bush "Paul " that i will dig up
tomorrow and transplant into a big pot for transporting it.
and thanks to you...Professor i am branching into flowers also.

PICTURES .... soon ok.... but SINCE i have many deer tracks near the creek that Fencing and moving them HERE are the top priority.
~
on the plug building side of things i have some SHORT SECTIONS OF un used cedar wooden gutters TREASURE :uhuh:
(think its cedar? )
anyone KNOW? Capesams?:confused:

when the herbal remedy is ready let me know.
BEEN eye ballin some swamps for fishin....:devil2:

Because the Auburn Spa people just told me
they need a crane to move the Jacuzzi
and they cannot do it....so now
i am crane hunting.... :wall:

if there's a will there's a WAY, i always say

i'll cut a friggan hole with a chain saw if necessary
i told them... those cheese dips....
~
i'm a Scottish Barbarian thru and thru....
i have built bridges and 50,000 gallon cisterns
Windmills and many other huge projects....

it only weighs 1000 pounds -> a 1/2 ton
Geesch....

I had a crane move mine in, used NE Spas who subcontract out the job. Maybe give them a call and see who they use?

New England Spas-Boston Hot Tubs-Saunas of New England (http://www.nespas.com/)

30 guys can move one. with the proper motivation.

the stairway off the Deck leads to a slope

instead of the flat ground unfortunately

hence the need for the crane method...

but
i priced materials tonight...

and for 160 clams i can buy enough 3/4 inch plywood
and ten foot 4x4's to build a bridge and make the
transition happen
along with some other timbers i have.

next i'll be pricing a flatbed from Penski that has the
forklift package.... and a 2500 lb lift gate

Raven to mission Control:

Standby - Huston ...... Jaccuzi 1..... HAS landed -Over :call:
That's one Splash for The Raven Man, a giant leap for mankind-LOL

what a friggan Bear of a JOB: took four guys and a huge diesel pickup,
300 dollars of lumber and materials ,(which i'll re-use elsewhere)

2 1/2 days labor so far with another day or so still
to dissasemble the 16 foot mega ramp i built
and WE saved almost 8 hundred dollars.

PHEW :drool: glad thats DONE :ninja: ... :kewl:

:nopics:

Well just think of all the plugs you can make out of those timbers. With the hot tub you also have a place to hydro test them too. Might even double as a bait well,

i had planned to go back on Sunday after the unit got moved
to take it all apart ..the Ramp i built..... that is...

But the Ole Raven Van went down on Saturday and i'm not
sure when i'll be getting it back now... i have go back and take some more pics.

oh well........

there's more than plenty to do here...that's for sure!

chainsaw work tomorrow to clear a spot to move
a downed tree so i can place my building materials
there and then i am starting a very large container
garden and ordering a truck-load of loam in the mornin :uhuh:

i 'll work the back forty which was a garden
years ago and the loam is 12 inches deep :kewl:
where i dug a test hole
so i just can't wait until i'm rototilling.

:nopics:




vb

Aren't ya Peter??? :wall:

I've been taking pictures but i cannot find
one of two camera cables that hooks the camera
to the PC. :doh: i just looked for 45 minutes....

Then ya finally say ~ the heck with it, you'll come across it
sooner or later amongst the SEA of Boxes on 3 floors :huh:

Today, i retrieve my Ramp materials and a big ole hutch
and miscellaneous other materials to make it a load

the money we saved moving the Jacuzzi ALL went imediately
to car repairs damn it.... but a big row of peas are planted,
my cool access Gate is almost finished
the downed trees are cleared so i can begin PHASE 2 :uhuh:
of the MASTER plan :bo:

Good luck, great job on the jacuzzi move. Nice to see you sitting on your new perch

Nice to see you sitting on your new perch

because i am fluent in CROW
i have already told them

Beware the RAVEN
King of the neighborhood

and they haven't dared
land in my yard since :uhuh:

Now that has to be seen to be believed

Wow, combined Man Cave / Dog House for when she throws you out for the night ;)

Lot's O Work
looks like you and Star need a beer :buds:

Now that has to be seen to be believed

When i was farming commercially with a full acre under cultivation
i was growing some corn ok and i planted them heavier than your supposed too
following the old rhyme one for the chipmonk one for the mole one for the crow
and one to grow or however the hell it goes... you get my meaning tho....

So i am watching from a fair distance with high powered binoculars
as this crow is walking along looking for my planted
corn seeds and "i THOUGHT" i had them conceled adequately
to allow them to germinate and pop up thru the soil as they unfurl.

Well corn seeds go from a starchy hard grain to a very SWEET
sprout as germination takes place.... and that son of a bitchin crow could sense them....
sorta like how a robin stops and stares at the ground for worms
but they (crows) have either a highly developed sense of smell or however they do it....
they FRIGGAN CHEAT !!!!! :realmad::af::cens:

He could easily find them ...every single ONE too.

So i have to get up before the first bird sings 4:30 am
or so
and become the live SCARE CROW!

Wow, combined Man Cave / Dog House for when she throws you out for the night ;)

more like the cat house....John
the second floor is strictly for the CAT
and he has his own KING size BED up there

so yeah if i have one to many
and i'm sawing wood like no tomorrow
i can always go upstairs to crash -LOL:uhuh:

because i am fluent in CROW
i have already told them

Beware the RAVEN
King of the neighborhood

and they haven't dared
land in my yard since :uhuh:

Guess the crows need a refresher in Raven crow speak if they are going after your corn seeds??? Or is that Raven needs a refresher in crow speak???? Listen closely as you sit by your corn field at 4:30AM.:uhuh:

A Ravenator party are Raven's place is in order

Because i'm working away from the new place
finalizing the OLD place scavaging my materials ect.

but this will give you an IDEA or two

I'm ready to ROCK and ROLL
LOAM ,Pink sand, Compost 3 yards each

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/ReadytoRockandRoll.jpg

The New TOY ie..... weapon of mass destruction LOL

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/TheNEWWEAPONofChoice.jpg

the target that tangled me like Barbed wire is goin BYE BYE

Lotsa mini pine trees and chain saw work ---gonna go ballistic

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/TheGARDENSpotBeforeshot.jpg

Last but not least the magnificent BARN CAT
head of Mouse control heh heh heh
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/BarnCATMouseControl.jpg

nice pics...that man cave is HUGE!!!

i'll be organizing it during the rain week
but i'll be doing a little fishin too hopefully
i earned it.... been at this movin crap
for 6 weeks straight...

At least I see you have a chair set up. hopefully a cooler too. Is the tub wired?

.

Is the tub wired?

Heck no.... :rolleyes:

It's on the RAVEN do list though
which is a mile long ... :bc:

one problem is that being a brick house
you have to get creative when running wiring.
the tub has a leak i have to fix before i can get it
up and running (which means an exploratory surgery)

it takes 220 so i have to go shopping for
a 220 breaker -> as well.

who's the S-B electrician around here anyways? :huh:

I guess it's going to be me. :uhuh:

The Raven MAN CAVE-> IS STARTING TO SHAPE UP !
Only my second day here... doing just this...

the first bench is built and now the planting of flats begins
Since the green house(s) aren't ready yet

so the cellar has to be the temporary flat house
for this spring planting of VEGGIES :drool:

time to mix the compost with sand and loam
add to the pro-mix with vermiculite on top
set on top of an electric blanket under plastic :uhuh:

does it have to be so damn RAW outside tho? :mad:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/IMG_0232.jpg

very important to have PFD ready in case of high water

loading /building flats like a mad man

Why does your drill press have a pfd :hee:

Looking good.
