That opinion extends far beyond my wife about me...

Taking out a heavy but unknown capacity hitch in the 86 Dually. Putting in a B&W 30,000 lb turn over ball. Taking out the auxiliary tank also long enough to Line-X the bed.

Have a gantry crane that is really handy. 10 x better than a cherry picker for pulling and installing engines.
But... it wasn't quite wide enough to fit either my car hauler trailer or my 49 Studebaker dump truck under it. Couldn't find a small I beam to replace the 9 footer. So, I bought some 1/4 inch thick 3 inch angle iron. Already had some 1/4 inch thick steel plate in 20 foot lengths. Cut pieces to 130 inches long. Welded the plate between two pieces of the angle iron. Then I welded on two end plates cut from the end or some C channel I had left over from a previous project. That means the new "web" is 3/4 inch thick. A bit of overkill, but it is what I had available. Got it done last Sunday. The pics will probably post sideways, as they were taken on my cell phone. Even though I load them on my computer and rotate before downsizing and saving, they still come out sideways most of the time.

I haven't seen pics of your shop in a year. It looks good and all those LED lights ready brighten it up.
The crane should be more usable now.

Almost like daylight, and very well spaced, so no shadows or dark spots.
70 lumins per sq. ft. of floor space. Draws the same amperage as two traditional 300 watt bulbs. Yeah, I need to update pics on my shop thread. Getting pretty close. Have a working toilet and deep sink. Just cut a piece of granite to put in my kitchenette with the beer fridge and microwave.

I spent the last few weekends cleaning out a garage. By cleaning out, I mean completely emptying it. It's part of a property I am renting out to someone and they wanted that space too so I figured it would be a good reason to get rid of a few things. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be and I hope I don't accumulate that much "stuff" again. When I got through and looked at the now empty shop I thought, hey a guy could build a car in there...

I got rid of a lot of "junk", but didn't really downsize. Everything is now in the 2 buildings at our new place and I just bought 2 '67 C-10 project trucks...

What I did yesterday, was remove the 292 and TH350 from my '54 210 2 dr sedan. The car will be going to a local swap meet on May 1st and the engine/trans are now destined for a couple C-10's.
