Moved Pg 2

Just signed lease on a new generous shop space...

[page 1, sign/floors] [this is page 2, equipment moving] [page 3, stuff] [page 4, almost there]

I call up a local machinery moving company and they showed up in their very clean `59 Ford F400 flatbed towing a long trailer with a forklift on it. They're moving my "shop" equipment out of the house and into my new shop. This is why I wasn't really doing service work ... don't want to work out of the home. And now I'll be doing service work again... like I was last century.

That's my toolbox getting lifted in. Some folks may think that old truck is cheesey ... but it is so clean that it shows these folks care for their equipment. And in the move, they cared for mine, too!

They used the forklift to drag the mill to the doorway then they lifted it to the driveway:

reposition with it sideways and drive it out to the truck:

And lift the mill on the truck:

Air compressor is next:

And then the lathe:

That's Alan smiling because all my stuff is super happy on his truck:

Unloading at the shop is going to be different ... as I make life difficult:

... because I want the mill and lathe to go through a door:

Lathe:

Putting the air compressor on the loft is the easiest part:
