Active Thunder Toy Box is up!!!!
 

Now I have to install the Magic Refrigerator!!

Oh yeah, and some doors and concrete too.

It has been a long and expensive road. I have been waiting my whole life for a Toy Box this big.

Last two; I gotta go get my boat.

Its a 30x60x12 w/ two 10hx12w doors built by www.pioneerpolebuildings.com .

A/C and Heat?

Its fully insulated with double-bubble wrap. I have a wood stove that I will be installing for when I want to heat it up, but no plans yet for full climate control.

Hmmm....2 bays. Got room for me? :D

Lookin good :cool:

Nice
 

I gotta have one of those...

It must be nice to have land.

Heck, I am already out of room. I have two boats and two trucks in there already.


I'll be in Manhattan on Monday night. You going to be near?

Damn, isn't that the truth!! I can barely fit four cars in my driveway. :rolleyes:

Looking good Brian. I've followed your threads on this. I'm envious. But then again, I do love being able to phone ahead and have mine splashed just as I arrive at the marina.

Let's see...it cost me $4K per year for that benny. How long will it take you to pay that off? :rolleyes:

Probabaly about 7 years.....but he gets to keep a bunch of other stuff stored in there too. He can also walk out the back door and tinker with the boat all winter or even on a cool spring evening with ease. (I'm dying to find a piece of property like that in this area I can afford!!!)

I know that Russ!! It was tongue in cheek. There are trade offs for sure, but I'm happy with being 5 minutes from the Ches Bay. I would love to have the boat in the back yard though. Been there....

But, I bet it won't take near that long!

Nice Brian!! When are you having the garage party?:ernaehrung004:

Thats a AT garage party :circle:

Thats what I'm talkin about!!!:p We'll bring pictures to fix that place up!!!:cool:

SL did you get a inside storage spot for Remdy yet ?

I've got some places lined up, but still looking for closer and cheaper to home.

If your planning on going down in January i've got room in my barn till we go. Just throwing that out as a option. :cool:

I've been to your house. Didn't see any barn?

Its not there....Norfolk right?

It's down in Hampton. I have the building divided in 2 sides. I rent half out and keep the other half for my toys and my friends. My side is 60' x 150' and very dry and warm :cool: Theres always room for another AT in there :D

Hmmm......boating season could start much earlier for us.

We're going to make a rebel out of you yet :D

With all the fishing you've done up my way, I'd a thought you were a Yankee? :D

Yawl have been real good to me up there :drink: :D

I'm a scalawag :p What can i say :hitfan:

I say we have the AT party in Brian's new toy box. I'm a mean cook. Got some real good grilled shrimp for ya!

You need to bring the Lobster :D I could probally scrape up some Scallops.

A ya, we know how to cook that hee'ya too.

Looks great Brian...congrats - I know you are excited!

:DMark, Steve....I'll bring the Captain and the Goose....and a few lbs of strawberries.:D

How'bout some tricked out ride on mowers for races around the yard?

Now that sounds like a good old time!!! Some moonshine and some dynamite too huh?:hitfan:

Oh yeah! What's a party without blowing up stuff.

Show us what it looks like with the bling in it!

Looks great! There's nothing like having some space to do things right at home. I don't know what I'd do without my shop (and all the other out-buildings)- the only problem is that it was too small before it was even finished:p.......
Just a little tip learned over the years the hard way- when you do the concrete, use re-bar instead of mesh. ;) A little more costly, but well worth it.

Garage party
 

DO Fountain guys get invited to garage parties?

Rarely! But maybe B will make an exception...

What was the actual building cost? Did the supplier erect it?

I sent you a PM.


BTW, I was going to go with 40' wide, but I decided to go with a staggered setup and 30' wide. :ernaehrung004:
