Adding 200 more every year
27 years left of building a Hobby into a retirement time burner.
We got 2 rally good days of weather on the weekend and got a ton of work done on the building for the new tank. By the end of day 2 we had all the walls up and braced, the rafters on and strapped, the tank in the building and the vacuum pump back in place plus a bit of the 1" lumber on the outside of one wall. All we need to do to get the steel on and finish the outside walls so we don't need to shovel snow out of it to finish things up inside before the season.
Here's a few pics of the progress:
