Hey gang,
with my upcoming migration, I'm pondering how it all will get from here to there...
One of the largest 'things' I have to move is my lumber pile... which I'm pretty well planning on strapping down to my Dad's utility trailer (along with my TS & BS, benches etc... (Yes I'm counting on a dry trip...) I have this collection to move:
and here of course is where all of that, plus my tools will wind up:
I found out this weekend that while I've called that a carport, it really started out life as an enclosed garage. There was a flood back in the '50s and during the clean up my grandmother decided that having the carport and an open air patio was preferable to the enclosed garage.
I'm planning on enclosing it again, putting windows up high on the west and north walls, with a pair of large hinged doors on the southern face, and a man-door on that wall as well.
One thing which just popped into my head is the potential for insect 'migration' as well. Obviously to my knowledge I do not have any bugs in my wood currently, not at least in my lumber.
In my turning stock however.. I'm not so sure... so I'll likely be having a give-away of the now 'fairly dry' blanks unless I miraculously manage to create a mountain of chips and have to move rough turned blanks instead.
At least the snow has mostly gone and with spring arriving today, I at least have the potential to get out and enjoy the shop a little before the move.
