Hang in there, Mike.

The correct prayer is

Moving is a time to evaluate your possessions. You make three piles,
this one goes to the new house, this one goes to good well, and the
third one goes to the curb for pickup by the garbage man.

Yes, it's good to move every five to ten years. It cuts down on the
junk collection. I've moved three times in seven. The last time was
pretty easy, though I had picked up a lot of tools.

Been there, done that, 42 months ago. I do not envy you! good luck!

I have been in the same shop and house for 26 years, much of that while
running a business building house, cabinets and teaching shop. Add to the
tools I collected myself, when we shut down my dad's shop about 10 years
ago, I got to his place and they were supposed to be out of the house that
afternoon. He had the house packed, but had not touched the shop, at all!
All we had time to do was DUMP stuff in totes, and put it onto the truck.
How many totes! Maybe 50?

Now since I became disabled, I finally have the time to go through my stuff
and organize, and his stuff, much of which has never seen light since they
were dumped.

The scope of the undertaking is like eating an elephant. Just one bite at a
time will get the job done. The quantity and quality of the stuff I have
now is also impressive.

Still setting up machinery, and adjusting. Still have a couple to do.
Going to need to tear out a wall and rewire the place and install a dust
collector.

Wow.

Just Wow.

Sure, I'd love to help. However, my GPS can only do a round trip, so the
Unisaw has to stay at my place. *g*

Thanks, Mike! I knew I could count on you for a "You Suck"

On another note, I bent the shaft on a Pro Tec (I think) bench-top drill
press, yesterday. Using a 5/8" countersink bit, and it grabbed and bent.
Crap. Now what. Disassemble and try to pound it out reasonably straight, I
guess. No money for my dream floor drill press.

I guess that about cancels my you suck.

Right. And it depends on who is doing the "saying."

When it grabbed, and sent the clamped down drill press vise out of position,
I proceeded to get it (what I thought was lined back up) and clamped back in
place then turned it back on to continue the work. It was then that I saw
it was wobbling like a drunken sailor.

Then was when "I" said it.

"You suck!"

I would not have believed it was possible to bend a drill press that easily.

We definitely need those in this new yard. I'm thinking of hanging some
bat houses to help control these skeeters.

Yes and no. The garage is bigger, but I don't have a shed yet. PLUS, I
have to get a riding mower for this bigger yard. So for now, it's a
sardine can until I can solve the shed equation.

I'm thinking of just sinking some poles in the ground and getting some
roof trusses and calling it a day--- BAM, new garage.

Good idea. Most lumberyards have stock 24' trusses in stock that are
cheaper than you can buy the material to build them, by the way.

Every time I've order custom trusses, they were cheaper than the
material or as much.
Even when they're not, what they save you in time and effort makes them
a no-brainer.

I've seen very few lumber yards that stock trusses but they can get
them custom made in very short order. I built a garage almost 30
years ago and was surprised then that the trusses were cheaper than
the 2x4s they're made from.

The stock trusses are normally considerably cheaper than the same truss if
you were to order it. The truss companies build them when there is not
enough custom orders to keep everyone working, and take a loss on them.

Common in these parts. They are usually 24 feet wide at the outside of the
bearing, and about 5/12. Look to the mom and pop places rather than the big
box places. They may have been sitting and weathered but the immediate
availability may make them look attractive. Popular for pole sheds.

There's a custom truss place 4.5 miles from my new place.
I used them before to make some custom cathedral trusses for a friend's
studio build. They were stupid cheap.
