     Wow, all your parts in one place.   What's the empty parts of the garage going to be used for ?

I can hardly move around as it is and there is stuff everywhere...   I just want all the extra parts in storage along with all the cabinets I've obtained and filled over the years.  I will take before and after photos...

Dude, that's a man cave!  I'd put that thing right behind the house, put a fridge, a 60" wide screen, a lazy boy....yeah.  Whenever you've had enough of domestic nagging or whatever, hook it up the truck and pull it away and park at a Wal-Mart parking lot for a few days.

Funny you say that, my 21 year old son had that same very reaction when he was walking inside of it.

I can hear it now....  "Hey Dad, let me borrow the keys to the Man Cave for the weekend!"   8)

Plus, you have a place for your Internet Buddies to hide out when they come to visit you....     ;D

All kidding aside, that's a real nice setup, Zieg!!!   ;)

I bought it delivered but the guy brought it out to me with his 200? Tahoe full sized.  Tongue weight would be a concern as it squatted his truck pretty good.  He only had to deliver it 1.6 miles.  It has mobile home type axle with the 14.5" completely dry rotted tires...

what do you do for electrical service to the unit, zieg? Does it have a 50 amp trailer cable?

There is an electrical box in a closet with a piece of conduit sticking out below.  The PO said he just plugged the 2 wires into an electrical cord.  I haven't looked into the amp rating but plan to work on it tomorrow while it is close to the house.  I want to repair the floor before I move it to its final place.  My tan shed in the first picture has power and will be about 30 feet from this one once it is in its final resting place.  I'll bury a line to it...

Nice.  It's been so long since we've had a space in the garage to park a car... I'm feeling some envy.

I tore into the soft floor and just completely removed it.  Furnace ended up being junk so it is gone.  The wiring to the office part had the insulation rubbed clean off which will have to be replaced.  The window leaked and rotted the sill so I'll piece and scab here and there to shore it up.  Now it is time for a run to Menard's for some 3/4" flooring and some screws.  Good time to get the 85 C20 moving again.

No, I will put it on blocks and get it off the wheels but if it is mobile, it can't be taxed...
