Well my wife has said I can now use the garage as my workshop. Thus saving me having to move the big mill. While it sounds good, it's gonna cost me and keep costing... Plus I'm a realist, I know I'll have to share with the kids and cats etc. And I kinda like my little shed.
The garage occasionally floods (when a tennis ball gets stuck in the drain -> kids!) so I would have to put the mill and probably the lathe on feet. Decisions decisions!

Fix the drain to exclude tennis balls?
Cheers

Your looking at it all wrong, if there is space for the kids & cat in the garage workshop that means there is space for more machinery. You start with the Mill and then slowly add, each thing you add is only incremental so it's not like your just saying it's my garage now. With time there just ceases to be space for the kids & cat tho...

Moved the Fuji into it's final resting position (for now). Not quite exactly where I wanted it but it'll do. The engine crane came into it's own, handy little investment.

I rewired up the motor tonight. I have power! Also, wired up the DRO! Living in the 20 Century now.
Now I just have to move everything out of the garage into the shed (or where ever I can fit it) and move everything out of shed into the garage and I'm good to go. Should only take me a month of Sundays.
