I need to force myself to go back in the brdm and put the hull plugs and other stuff back together but I have no desire in the nasty, cold weather.
Time to insulate the shop and get one of those waste oil heaters installed. |

Some are not. The trans leak will be a pain to deal with. The rest are not hard, just need time. |

All 4 wheel stations are apart. Front and rear left side are leaking at the axle and differential input shaft and along the knuckle.
Since Russia is out of the picture for parts, time to get on the phone with the Bulgarians and get some parts coming. |

Those seals are part of what we need but need some others also. More work is going on with the Roland since that’s the primary focus right now |

A gantry crane inside. 500 pounds of once fired brass. In 4-6 months when both vehicles are mobile I'll get everything out and clean it and put in the insulation. We have a bunch of wolf spiders that live in and around the shop. When I find them inside I gently coax them onto my hand and place them outside. Never, ever kill when it's not necessary-even creepy crawly animals like big ol' wood spiders. |

I want a legit shop so bad. My house has about 2.5 acres but on a mountain slope so unless I pay the big bucks to have trees and Earth removed I'm stuck with 2 lathes and 2 mills and my wifes old piano taking up all my work room lol.

View Quote Mountains? In Alabama? It’s 100% worth it to have a shop. Seriously. It’ll be a pain early on but in the long run it’s worth it. Level it and knock down some trees. Do it Yourself. But it is worth every cent. My biggest regret is I didn’t go for a 40x60. You need your own space to just exist in peace and quiet and do mindless tasks. That’s how I stay sane in an insane world. I call the shop my “nothing box”. |
