Retire now!What will be under the floor? Tell the builder that you may want to put a 2100 pound Bridgeport on it.Being serious here. The "other" forum, a few years ago, had a thread when Vascon was building a new shop and planned some heavy machinery.
This thread is currently on hold for renovation.So here's the story. Retirement is around the corner. Could be tomorrow...if they let me go or I get tired enough...or within 1 year, 10 months, and 20 days (or so) if the next project is interesting.Do we (T and I) stay or move?We're going the route of staying. Which means renovating the house so we can stay here until they bag me up and carry me away.So we're adding onto the house. We're modifying the existing garage into a bedroom (so we won't have to deal with stairs as we decay) and adding a new garage. And behind the new garage? A workshop with windows!!! That means a whole lot of cleaning out and rearranging. It doesn't help that it's summer time which means sitting outside on the porch enjoying some wine and conversation with T instead of running machines and staying warm by the motor.I don't expect any machine time for some time. But I hope to do some drawing and I certainly expect to keep in touch on the forum so we can all become decrepit together.Nothing in stone yet. But that's the current plan.Ah...that brings up a question that came up with the builder.Please help.What kind of floor to put in the workshop?The builder suggests tile. I was thinking vinyl. Could be concrete.I'm looking for pros and cons.Thanks.
