Now that we are in the Pacific Northwest I need a place to keep the rain off of the cars. It will be 45 ft deep and 35 ft wide with 12 ft ceilings. I will plumb it for compressed air through out and 220V for compressor and lifts. Here is the ground breaking and foundation. http://s58.photobucket.com/user/6972boss/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpssv45m9c9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s58.photobucket.com/user/6972boss/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps5srscvlj.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

| I retired from the City of Phoenix and wanted a change of scenery. The heat was getting ridiculous, I hated summertime! 10 years ago a friend brought me up here for a car show, I fell in love with the area and made plans to retire here. I hope to open a restoration shop and play with old cars all the time! |

| Phoenix has just two seasons, hot and hotter. It was miserable! Can't work on your car outside, tools too hot to pick up. Can't work on them inside A/C bill too expensive! Carl I feel your pain. Too long in the cold or the heat will drive you to drink! You should love florida. I have been in the hot desert for 35 years, it was time for the migration! Even us desert rats need a break |
