As some of you may know, the Daytona project has been put on hold for the last few months, while I empty out my old junky tin storage shed, haul a bunch of stuff to a rented storage unit, give away a bunch of crap, throw even more stuff away, and generally prepare for the new garage that is going up in it's place.

Here's a few pictures of the old storage shed, and it's associated junk pile...and as it meets it's demise:

That tin shack is just begging for a tornado to take it away.    ;)

It's already gone.  ;)

It's being rebuilt at my friend's farm where it will continue to house junk for many years to come.

The concrete was poured two weeks ago.

This past Saturday, I raked the gravel into place for a temporary approach ramp to the overhead doors, and generally cleaned things up.

That last pic is nice. You have great looking trees. Great spot for that garage too. Can't wait to see it complete. I'm glad I had one built, it helps a lot. What's the size? 30x40

My shed was built by the Amish. Thing is constructed like a house. Solid.

Apparently, the way this works is this:

There are one or two "English" guys on the crew.

They have the cell phones, drive the trucks and communicate with the owner.

The Amish do all the other stuff, and won't be standing around chatting me up.
