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

RUT RO.....

at Ravens plug land

[saltyric]

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

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

[The Dad Fisherman]

I don't have any Raven Plugs..

[BigFish]

I don't think there are any yet??

[Rockfish9]

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

[Charleston]

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

[Nebe]

sounds like man-barn

[vineyardblues]

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

Congrats

VB

[Backbeach Jake]

[Raven]

5 miles from you or so.......now
as the Raven flies

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite Right Larry -> none yet.... i hope
easier (better) to buy yours tho.... as you well know )

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?
but they now need
some major restoration

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

Kevin your on the short list )

just 12 miles for the wife to commute now
instead of 42 miles...ya- hoo
no more 8:00 pm dinners

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

so...... this is all according to the master plan
i can just walk (limp) to my fishin hole
no car needed (big f-in grin)
yuk yuk yuk..........lol

buildin the ole hoop house is the big project

I'm back in the veggie business again

[vineyardblues]

Sweet, Central Mass power, The Raven has landed
I am sure da wife is
Let me know if you need any help , and a new veggie stand

[The Dad Fisherman]

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

[Charleston]

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.

[Swimmer]

C'mon Craig let see'em. Bare walls to finished cave.

[Lower]

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
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
(think its cedar? )
anyone KNOW? Capesams?

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....

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

[striperman36]

30 guys can move one. with the proper motivation.

[Raven]

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]

Raven to mission Control:

Standby - Huston ...... Jaccuzi 1..... HAS landed -Over
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 glad thats DONE ...

[Pete F.]

[stripermaineiac]

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,

[Raven]

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

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