8 of these on dimmers. 3 year old units from a surplus vender. Switching rows 1/3 and 2/4. They are easy on my eyes.

Alright Eugene it’s about time to quit playing around putting a building up and start getting some work done inside of it! :giggle: :giggle:

Just kidding. It’s looking great, very nice improvement and a nice place to work! :thumbsup:

Started moving the baby barn to its permanent location. It will be tucked to the back of the shop. Plans are to use it for twinter/summer tire storage and a couple of tractors.

A gamble did not pay off. The gravel was not tight enough to carry the forklift without laying plywood down. It took 2 hours this morning to get plywood positiined and the forklift back on them.

But at end of day, little barn is placed, parging is complete, gasline is terminated and backfill. We also discovered that the gas regulator diaphragm was leaking. A call to our supplier brought quick response and replacement.

Email from building department received this afternoon saying "permit closed".

The 448 had the starter rebuilt 1-1/2 years ago and needed the muffler replaced. It was pulled into the shop last night and driven out this morning. This afternoon the tiller was taken down from the rack and attached to the 448. Our garden is tilled.

the day was finished off by moving the milling machine into it's probable permanent location. All of the steel pallets were stacked and plywood leftover from the build was cut down to surface the pallets. Like the building permit I'll probably close this thread also.
