And the fun never stops.  I have a 24  by 32 foot shop to fill with my 
woodworking tools and some of the mechanical tools in the large roll 
away.  There is a 32 by 16 leanto on the east side that will be the 
perfect place to store wood and iron and to have the air compressor and 
dust collector. The front will be where I plan to put the welding  and 
blacksmithing.

The 16 by 34 foot tractor shed will store the tractor and lawn mower 
along with the blue pickup, the little crawler, and my antique engines.

Then the fun....  There is a 24 by 24 garage with room in the front for 
a work bench.  I plan to have the garden tools there along with one of 
my roll away tool boxes and the home repair box.

Then there is the basement.  I am hoping we can get the freezer down 
into the basement.  Hopefully we will be able to hire a couple of kids 
who can manhandle it down.  I plan to build shelves and in one corner I 
want to have a desk for my radios.

I spent the weekend redecking my tandem trailer and taking it to Mojave 
where I emptied a small trailer I have there.  My scattered locations 
are reduced by 1.  Every day after I drop the grandson off at school I 
go down to storage and load the little pickup as full as I can get it 
then bring it here where I then go through every box, throwing out junk 
and repacking.  I am about 1 one third through storage.
