Parked the cars for the winter

**Too Many Projects** · #1 11-01-2020, 01:39 AM

First warm day we've had in over 3 weeks, so moved cars around in the shed and put Sea Foam in the tanks, Critter Crumbs inside them and pulled the batteries for storage in the, now, heated shop. The shed is 200 ft from the shop and there is no electric power, so I have to drag 200 ft of power cord out to there to run the lifts. Gonna run power next year. We've only lived here for 13 months.

I brought the Camaro down and put the Impala up, so the Camaro is accessible for moving into the shop this winter. The restoration got interrupted with the move last fall and no heat in the existing pole building "shop".

Same one I have on hot rodders forum.
I have 1 more car still in off site storage too and sold a '69 C10 about 5 weeks ago that I brought back from Denton TX 3 years ago.

Nice looking building!

We moved to this place last September and I had a 2,000 sq ft building at the place we sold. There is a 1,200 sq ft pole building here, but I needed a bit more storage room for the beater bunch, so had this one built in November. 2 guys threw this up in 3 DAYS, from unloading the truck to done !! It was incredible watching this go up so quickly. I had the back half concrete poured this past May and got the lifts moved in. The clear ridge cap lets in a LOT of light. There is no power out there yet.

I’m not sure where you live that you need it, but that’s a hell of a snow plow.

Far western WI, just over the river from the twin cities. We've already had 4" of wet, heavy snow. Some years it sits most of the time and others, it gets used a LOT. 7.6 Boss on a 2011 Silverado 1500. All it gets used for is our driveways. Last house had 450 ft combined and new place has almost 500. Gets expensive to pay someone else and then wait for them to show up. I've used it enough now in 6 years that it's down to around $300 per plow...
