Here are some pictures.
I need to fork the trench toward the back of the building for the gas and network cables, other than that we are still waiting on dirt.

I am exhausted after looking at the length and depth of that ditch! I bet your kids ran away from home!

It is going to be a great shop!

Hey, show me the inside of that panel.

That is a lot of trench. No room for a ditchwitch?

So my neighbor's 03 GMC sierra had a random dash fire this weekend. He wants it gone so we came up with an agreement, now I have to drag it home.

I'll be keeping the engine - gen 3 5.3 and probably parting the rest, it's not really worth saving.

and as far as the truck goes. The seats and console went to my brother. His truck was owned by a fat ass that wore the seat out before the rest of the truck.
