Taking everything down.

And reinstalling on new tower

Getting to old and with knee problems makes it hard to climb up and down towers every time I want to try something new. Over the summer I poured a new pad in a different location. Will be able to let the tower down into the drive way with a flip of a switch.

This should take place over the winter months when it is a bit cooler.

In the mean time, working on a loop.

Well the shop has just gotton to small. Not enough room no more. Getting cramped when a bunch of folks show up and the noise drives me crazy. So doing a shop/ shack revamp. I have started construction on a new room. I am adding a 10 x 16 foot addition. So this should free up some space.

Moving the shack out of the room with entrance. Making that a display / waiting area. Will be putting in 3 seperate work benches. Installing a center room island for amplifier repair. This way I can walk around it instead of reaching over it. 3500 volts can kill!

Got the floor and ways up. Wanted to get the roof trusses up this week end but stuck at work all week end. And they are calling for snow!
