More good news. The Building inspector came by yesterday and failed my final inspection. It seems the railings need to have no more than a 4" gap to meet code. This should be easily remedied by a dozen more 2x4's which are already on site. He said he was drafting up my CO and would grant it with pictures of the fixed railings next weekend. This is another good step forward. I consider this failure to be as minor as the electrical failure.

I think the 4" requirement is so the gaps are too small for a child to get their head through. Not a bad code item.
I remember one place up here where the mortgage lender needed photographic proof submitted that the entire corner by the wood stove had been paneled in fire board. Pretty impressive how fast you can install fire board with cardboard and a can of black spray paint! Had to install porch railings too, but those came down the second the photos were approved.
Lots of hoops out there, some good, some silly. Congratulations that that's all the inspector faulted you on. BTW on the electrical failure- I thought that's what bent-over nails were for

Actually, the Electrical Inspector specifically told me "no nails or screws- get the real part"DenaliPilot wrote:BTW on the electrical failure- I thought that's what bent-over nails were for
Thought about photoshopping the extra rails in, but it isn't worth the effort
You have the gap reasoning correct.Pete
The move is complete! It took three days of grueling work and lots of help.
here are the pics and story:
Day 1:
Douglas shows up with a load of supplies and his forklift in tow.
We unload the forklift by driving onto another trailer which has a ramped end
Jim shows up within minutes of Mr D and along with my Brother we begin by rigging the hardest machine. The Cincinnati lathe weighs 2800 lbs and has to pass through a 36" door. This is accomplished with a gantry set-up which I originally built to get the lathe in. Here we use the forklift to set the top beam in place.
The lathe is quickly followed by the bridgeport (2000 lbs)
We finish the night in the woodshop working until 11:00. Nico shows up just as we are calling it a night and our crew is complete.

Day 2
This is our big push. We start off loading the cinci lathe onto a trailer.
I rented a 26' long box truck with liftgate. I pick it up and by the time i get back, many of the machines are staged outside.
Mr D tries a new method for finding things in a vidmar.
Moving the tannewitz
The truck fills quickly.
How many people does it take to run a roll of stretch wrap?
My truck pulls the trailer with the cinci lathe and the Oliver 20" jointer. Douglas tows the forklift, Jim drives the big rig, and here Nico's truck gets the bridgeport.
We set off at 6:00 and arrive at 9:00. After a much needed dinner we head out to the shop and begin the unload. Here comes the first vidmar
The lathe lands around 12:30 and we are exhausted, yet we have to repeat the process the next morning.

Day 3:
Not many pictures were taken. We drove back south in two vehicles with no trailers. Nico went home, but we were joined by the able-bodied Bruce.
Here is the emptied shop
It took us about 5 hours to load the big truck and my pick-up and we headed north once again.
By 9:30 we have finished the job. An amazing amount of work in a tiny amount of time

Day 4:
A little bonus work. My brother left early driving the big rig back to the rental place. Mr Douglas, Jim, and I worked on some last minute forklift projects. About an hour in I had a weird lightheaded feeling that wouldn't go away, I figured all the work was finally catching up. I stopped and had some water. Turns out Jim and Douglas didn't feel right either- A few too many fumes from the forklift. We opened up the windows and doors and took a breather. This was not a nice way to start the day.
Outside it was snowing and in order to get the forklift back up the trailer we used Jim's winch.
Next step was the trailer transfer
While Doug lashed down the forklift I followed Jim's lead as we "Egyptianed" the lathe into place. I is amazing what can be done with a bit of pipe some blocks of wood and some big pry bars.
After a few more things Jim and Douglas left and the adventure was complete. Thanks to all of my helpers. You are the greatest crew money can't buy.

I spent the remainder of yesterday and part of this morning setting up the metal shop. Around 11:00 am I turned my attention to the wood shop.
Here is the first machine being put back together and placed- we transported the gang drill without its legs
At the end of the day most everything was off the pallets and in rough placement.

Holy s%*# that's a lot of work...
Pete the shop looks great. I've been waiting patiently for the photos (I was about to call and badger you tonight if they didn't appear) and it was worth it..
Hey, the 3 headed drill press looks great. It's the first time I've seen it since the start of your refurbishment thread last summer.
Congratulations again. I wish I'd made the trip(s) last weekend to help out.

Thanks guys. Wish you could have been there to share in the fun/labor.
DP, you can also say "Egyptianing" for when you are in the act
Jeff I added a new pic to the drill press thread- one without the crown in the way. Hopefully I can finish up the third head sometime this year and fully restore its past glory;
More pics to come soon I have been busy running conduit and setting up the phase converter.

I don't have any current pics, but here are some older ones to start bringing the thread closer to current.
First project was running conduit for electricity to all of the machines. Here I butchered up the slab to feed power to the tablesaw island.
Here it is cleaned up with a piece of 3/4" conduit.
The start of the 3Ø converter hook-up- discreetly housed in the furnace room.

Spring is here!
No really the snow is melting. That picture was taken this past weekend, there has been melt progress since. We do still have a lot of snow.
Back inside, set-up continues. Today I hung my freshly painted dust collector- no yellow for me. I used the crib pile (in the foreground) on the forks of my battery operated crown fork picker, to get this heavy bastard in place.
I also built the stair to access the attic space
Also an insulated door to provide easy access- the door is r-16.
here is where it leads- OSB deck coming soon
More pics coming soon. The table saw island is complete, but not yet photographed.

I think handrails are in the future..... it seems like a smart move.
As to the grey collector- I half thought about it, but I think I might be getting a little overwhelmed by the grey and thought this would be a good opportunity to try something new. It is barely worthy anyway...
I started loading the freshly decked attic today- oh how sweet.
