I feel the pain on the project priorities but it's time will come.

and yes, your ramp was sketch as hell lol

I know, I was sad as well.  I need to get the van swap project done and then I plan to get back to this after a few house projects.  Otherwise it is just clogging up garage space.  The kids are getting bigger so they enjoy playing/helping in the garage.

Some pics of the new house.  It's on 26 acres, 19 of it is woods and the other 7 is an alfalfa field.

Wood boiler for heat, there is also an LP furnace for backup.

And the garage, 26' deep by 32' wide.  The floor has pex in it but there is a leak.

I stopped using photobucket when I would get pop ups and other unwanted things when going to their site. Nothing like some good ol' pron pop ups when at work.....

Judging by your pictures it certainly is! 
Looks like you guys are taking to the new place quite well!

Glad to see an update! Can't wait to see the e36 over in that new barn getting finished 😉

This is how I have felt for the last year... She was chillin on the floor while we worked.
