Ron;
I have visited you website before, but I hadn't found the mill
before. You've got the "newer" model, same idea though. I drove through
Titusville last weekend, how did I miss the steam engines. My wife probably
saw them and neglected to mention them. I like your shop, I just expanded my
10 X 12 metal building to 10 X 16. Having room to walk added a whole new
dimension to the shop, and yes, the 5000 btu air conditioner is way to
small, but still better than none at all. I also added a power line to the
shop, 220 30 amp, no more extension cord to pick up before mowing.
I haven't really had time to do much with the mill, spent time
rebuilding it, and now my wife has other projects backed up. Oh well.

The steam engines are on Garden St. near I-95.
My shop is so crowded from the move it is basically just storage, right now. We
just now are putting the finishing touches on a 12'X12' shed with an 8'X12'
overhang. The additional roof is destined to become my foundry area.
My daughter just moved to the area and needed a place to store her belongings.
Instead of renting a storage area, we decided to build. Her stuff will be out
when she gets a place of her own and then I will expand the shop and have room
to work again.
The power line vs. an extension cord is a familiar problem! Also it drops
voltage to the A/C.
Since my buildings are portable, I was considering running a line underground
terminating in a yard light with a receptacle.
Holler if you get back this way.
