Mike,
All you need is a ramp at the other end and the Dragster has a winter retreat.

You're a bad influence Mike. Showed your post to Debbie, and guess what she said... "when are you going to start on the bathroom?"
All kidding aside; looks like you're doing a bang up job.

Mike you are the MAN!! I can't drive a nail with a hammer to save my A$$. I had to buy a framing nailer and throw my hammer in the pond. Can you post a pic of the wood cookstove. I have one I've been trying to sell, but now am thinking on keeping for a summer kithen and heat source for a {future} nice garage. THANKS Mike.
