A first post! Welcome to you, tacosauce, from out this way in Virginia. I believe there is more than one stand-alone thread, and some "stickies" on that very topic. Someone quicker on the draw might put you there. But in the meantime I'll see if I can find that for you...

VT and the trees are still in leaves...and they're green. Is the pic from a little while back maybe?

That sure is pretty country your way. Thanks for the "long view" pic. Ever see any big cats in those hills, are there even any left?

Sailing on a canal isn't sounding real reliable: - Forward and Back are the only two directions, and the wind can come from ANY direction, right? You got Trade Winds over there?!

Sure hope you pick up some work soon. Good luck there.

That is close to a GREAT price. :beer:

No kidding, that is some good looking work. Was that hole-saw carbide, did it cut through pretty easy?

The blue lights look good, guessing it helps with the whole "night vision" issue, too.

rustystud, you are an encyclopedia of wisdom, I love that about you: - I never even heard of aluminum primer (or thought to look for it), is it common to find? Just used for covering ferrous metal, is that it?

WHERE did you get all these beauties?! Especially that lathe, that beast is a work of art. Wow

Yup. THat has GOT to be Love!! :jumpin: But when it's worth it to you, it's worth it. :beer:

Great plan! You got an outlet going to the kitchen which suggests potable water. Wonder if you need to consider a way to chlorinate the system form time-to-time. But I am not a plumber, so it might not even be an issue. Anybody know?

:mrgreen:

All that running around and that rig must be working up a sweat!
