I was in a man lift at work last week about 15 feet up. We had an overhead get a signal from somewhere and took off with a 20x15 steel deck hanging from it. Knocked me back. I was able to crunch down in lift

I don't like heights. I'm OK when I have the truck I'm working on next to me and lift. But when I'm away from everything. I don't like it. Work on multi ton dump trucks. Cab is close to 20 foot up

Damn Dave, that's a nice spread you've got there and it looks like the shop is coming along nicely. When does the concrete come?

Been digging for the perimeter foamboard. Should have it done Tuesday. Then more fill, more foamboard on floor then water for heat. Then concrete. Hopefully before august. Dang foamboard is expensive. Put me behind on progress for a few months
