I was also hoping to make a visit coinside with some festivals etc.... I likes me music! ;D  (real stuff that is, non of this hiphop and rap stuff!!!)

You got it right Ralph. To bad I live 5 to 6 hours away from NYC. Looks like your going to be well south of me.

Still, on with the show.... Where's that mill thread???  :)

To bad the tickets are so high priced. Things aren't getting cheaper over here either. The "spendies" could be quite high. :jaw:

As I told Rog. It'll be posted here shortly, so be patient.  :hammer:  ;D

I thought I mentioned that. Went back and checked my post. I didn't mention it.
Here are the stats: 7' 10" floor to bottom of joist and a 7' floor to bottom of "I" beam.

That is the enterance to the garage. I wanted an inside enterance to keep dry during rain and no snow getting in in winter. I have a spiral stair case going from the great room up stairs to the basement.

If I had intentions of building a machine shop in the baement in the first place I would have done something of that nature, but I had planned on building a large HO scale model railroad. This move only came about a month or so back when I decided to move the drill press into the basement. I decided that a shop out back of the house would mean another place to heat and I'd have to go outside traveling back and forth from house to shop. So the decision was made to put everything in the basement. Hind sight is 20/20. :thumbup:

Stay tuned for the Bridgeport move. Soon to be posted here.

Regards,
Bernd
