ITS MOVING DAY BOYS!!!


@Runs With Scissors comes to mind here with his journey a while back. You've got a legit basement i think from the pics, right?

Yes sir, I have a "traditional basement".

Man, thats a nice box you have there, and good job on getting it in place. (y) (y)

I tried to "catch up" on this thread. I will say that being a Trucker will be "physically" less demanding, which is nice as we/you age.

My BIL is 60 and he is still a mechanic at a local dealer, but the physical demands are beginning to be problematic.

One thing I found, when I stopped being a "professional mechanic" was that it was mentally, exceedingly difficult, to let/have other people work on my stuff.......I just couldn't do it. (Hence the reason I installed that hoist).

I wish you all the best in your new endeavor.(y)(y)

No doubt. That will definitely be the next step for me. Must have a way for ME to maintain my fleet of junk lol.

Thank you for the kind words.

Time to start emptying the tools, remove the drawers, and get the shell lifted through the door way. Probably not today though.
Something to this effect.

But we got her. A bit extravagant for a home setup i'll say.

This was my 4th toolbox of my career that I purchased late '14. If I never professionally spin the wrench again, majority of this stuff will never see the light of day. Can't bring myself to get rid of even an ounce of it though. No telling actually how much money is sitting here right now. I've basically been buying tools every week since I was 16. And this is the result of that. Tool storage wise I am glad to be out of it, the box is jammed packed and after cornwell shifted manufacturing I couldn't logically reason with myself in expanding the box with a pair of lockers....they're now $6300....PER SIDE. I paid $100 more than that for the box 11 years ago. I wont say what that same box will cost you right now minus the hutch if you ordered it. But its beyond ridiculous.
