        Mike, My last message got bounced back from theforge, Nice shop
pictures.  I have a similar commute and love it!
        One word of advice on the "acres" of scrap steel.   When I moved my
last shop to where I am now..........I took 16 LOG TRUCK LOADS to the junk
yard!  Yes, I had said I was not going to move, yes I was going to be there
for life, yes I had built everything from scratch at that place.......then I
fell in love and had to move to the bigger piece of land, the already larger
standing shop, the five acres of open field,  the girl with the pipe staging
and four wheel drive tractor.      Life is hard some times - so watch how
much you pile up.  :-)
        Our new place has my designated 1/2 acre down the back of the hay
field.......it's called Boot Hill............where all good scrap goes to
lie.   The bad stuff goes to the scrap yard (once every four years or so).
