Having a slow morning at work...clients are taking their sweet time getting into work. So I'll take this short opportunity to post a couple of photos of the progress we have made up here.
Here is the house, front yards (ha, ya ....right), and shop. The left side is ours and the right side is my father-in-law's. As you can see we have a ton of work to do outside. Landscape, construction and tree clearing clean up is a must. And we have to finish the gravel driveway. We overspent before we could order the last 2 loads of gravel, so we need to build up the coffers before we finish. That will come later this spring.
Here is the new shop...attached to the back of the old shop. This is really big, but its so hard to capture the size on camera. 30x30 in front, 45x56 in back. When we can save enough money, we'll re-roof the front to match. For a 30+ year old shop, it's withstood the test of time really well.
And here are a couple of photos of some of our new projects...Wayne needs something to do now that our home is complete and the loan is closed.Can't have him sitting around being bored. The green one was mine and the other one is his (pictured with him, his son & grandson). We've since acquired one more for me, but I haven't taken pictures of it yet. The green one will be a parts rig for now, but then we'll restore it later....like in 10 years, if ever.
These are family projects...things for us to work on together (us, dad, and even the kids & grandkids from time to time).
This is an idea of what we're shooting for with at least one of the Willys. We'll use them for work and play with our company logo on them.
Anyway, that's it from the hill people household. Hope you all have a great day!
I've always thought Willys were awesome. My grandpa had a military surplus one, with a top he built out of plywood, that he used in the fields.
