Welcome to the group Dan. Now you have to make a pipe or we throw you out.

Haha, just as soon as I drop a few bills on tooling and materials. But hey, looks like you've got a shiny new workshop in the works too! Maybe I can swing down there after you guys are done and give it a whirl? That, or do some filming down there. Whatever the case, I just want to come down and visit.

Sounds good to me dan.

Gongrats there.

Lot of potential to become a great workshop.

Us Capetonians don't know "tree stands". Can somebody help out and tell me what it is?

A portable "perch" fastened up in a tree allowing the hunter a better angle downward rather that thru brush from a lower level.

Aaha! Thanks so much!

When I was in Botswania, we hunted from the ground, not always goodI Even a deer can (rare) hurt you if he decides too! Plus I don't run as fast as I use to.

Thanks everyone. Harry, so far so good, just a million things to take care of. 15 years in this place, theres shit here I forgot I had 10 years ago...

Definitely a nice place. Reminds me a lot of mine with the dedicated shop. It feels good, doesn't it? All that work and planning is well worth it too.

Enjoy it and be sure to post pictures as you set it up. That way we can all enjoy it with you.

We bought a place much like the one you have. It had been empty for a few years after the previous owners died. All the plumbing had frozen and broken and there was a lot of work to do and still is 3 years later. Ours even had a motorhome built into the house which I pulled out when we bought it. I had to cut open an outside wall to get it out but it opened up a lot more room in the house once I framed it all in.

These gems are always a lot of work and probably never quite finished, but beats living in a place that will never be yours but instead a place that you make yours. Congratulations.

Ha ! I remember you posting pics of your de-motorhoming job a long time ago. You are right, the work here ain't ever going to end, but for a good long while there's going to be a lot of catching up to do!
Hoping to be moved in completely the weekend before Christmas.
