    We finally are buying a house.  It took a while but it's a nice house about a half hour outside of Wausau, it is a raised ranch built in 2013, 3 bedroom 2 bath on the main floor and finished walkout basement with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.  And a big attached garage with in floor heat, I think it is about 24 deep by 32 wide.  The door is a 16' door centered on the width so there is a big space on either side.  The whole house and garage are heated with a wood boiler with LP backup.  It's on 26 acres that are mostly woods with about an 8 acre hay field.  We are supposed to close June 12th so we are pretty excited about that.  We have been living with my parents like all cool Millennial folks.

    Also have a deal lined up on a very good condition Rotary 10k asymmetrical lift.  The garage ceiling isn't 12' tall but I will either modify the top of the lift to fit the 10' ceilings or box in some holes to the attic and run the top bar through the attic.  For 1800$ I couldn't pass it up, it is less than 10 years old and the guy who had it in his shop was very particular about keeping everything spotless so it looks all but new.

    Tomorrow is my last day of work until August (Tech school instructor) so I will be able to get working on the BMW van and other things.  Still planning to drive it to the Hawk vintage races this year.

        Those look great! Also curious how they will hold up.

        @jc43089 congrats on the new place! Having a lift will spoil you for life

            Monaco was a great opportunity for me to take a nap this morning.  Hopefully the 500 is a little more exciting.

              Been a great start so far, good amount of passing. Sucks Herta is out already.

                  This is one of my top 5 favorite books!  It's a great story, especially if you love dogs and cars.  100% I will be seeing this in theater with my wife.

                      Everything is finally settled, the fiance and I close on our house 6-17-19!

                      Only drawback is the 2 car garage, so I need to figure out if it's cost effective (and if there's enough room) to add a 3rd garage spot, or just go with a parking pad next to the garage for my DD.

                        I'm not going to see it if I have to cry at the end because I'm a man that's manly.

                          I cry every time I read the book.  I'm much more closely related to an angry marshmallow emotionally than a man.

                              After years of looking for a pair of these handles(without spending a fortune), I finally found some. I've never seen rears, just fronts.

                                  Last weekend my son turned 4 and for his birthday my mom got him a BMW Motorsport Teddy Bear which I've never seen before.  It's pretty cool!

                                    when he is older and understands how cool that is, it will be even cooler because of how old it will be. Hope it stays intact!
