Thanks!
Yeah, the Renegades are really popular with the car nuts. They are rated to tow 30,000 lbs. vs. 5,000 on a regular RV.

Well first the bod news, framers put me off til tomorrow on the start.

Second the good news....pavers showed up to start paving the parking lot....three weeks late.

Kind of a pain to have all the employees parking in the back. However we can't build a shop only to get the cars all dirty just driving in and out of it. The Electric company also showed up to build the transformer bank.

At least things are moving!

This is possibly one of the best threads i have ever read! Great build!!

mws444 · 09-22-2011, 10:11 PM

Alrighty now! Framers showed up today!

Also got the electricity fired up.
I guess I should say the electricty was fired up after the crazy kid on the roller tried to squeeze in between the power pole and guide wire......yep. Hooked the guide wire with his ROPS (roll bar) and almost pulled the pole down.

To make a long story short blew two of the fuses on the main line, lost a full shift of production at the plant.

This is the second time in less than three weeks.

At least the idiot did'nt hurt anyone or himself.

Now back to the good stuff. Should be up on the second story tomorrow with the framing.
Here are some pics showing todays repairs and progress. I included one showing the rubber membrain that is around the floorplates on the walls around the wash bay. I also climbed up on the scaffolding to get an overhead shot.
