I was able to get some LVP flooring pretty cheap for the living area. Someone local had a bunch that they didn't use and it was just enough to cover what I needed. I got a new Atlas 9000 pound 2 post lift. It's still on my trailer parked in the shop. I'm going to try to get the packing material off of it today to inspect it and see what it's going to take to get it unloaded.
, it's only three more day's Freddie, you've been diligent about letting this heal, hang in there...

I just wanted to mention Race Tools Direct. I ordered this Atlas lift from them and they were very good to work with. They delayed the shipping to allow my shoulder to heal some before I had to deal with this. On the day it was delivered it was pouring down rain. I had made arrangements with someone to have it unloaded with a fork lift. The guys were having a hard time getting it out of the truck and they turned it over, damaging the hydraulic unit. I was going to try to fix it myself since it wasn't the fault of the truck driver or Race Tools Direct. When I couldn't find the parts that I needed I contacted Race Tools Direct to see if they could get the parts for me. Instead of getting me the parts, they sent me another complete hydraulic unit, and they paid the shipping both ways! If you are looking for a lift I recommend checking with Race Tools Direct. https://racetoolsdirect.com/?gad_sou...saAmcvEALw_wcB

I wish I had more to report, but work on the shop is going very slow. I finally have air conditioning (now that summer is almost over). Now I have to wait on the plumber to come back and run gas lines to the units. I did realize that I hadn't posted pictures of the living area lately. I'll try to get that done soon.

I was wondering about your shop. Thanks for the update.

I like those blocks you set your units on. Look good.👍
