As some may recall, I announced a partnering with my best friend running a general repair shop. We've been taking on work but haven't actively pursued it yet due to needing to finish another building and preparing for harvest.
A customer called needing some filters, so we drove out to deliver them. While we were there he asked about an oil leak, and when running the engine to find the leak, we found some other issues, so the customer asked if we could fix them too... We said sure, and drove the combine back to our place for him. We'd gotten most of the work done outside, but with the threat of rain we elected to bring it in the shop. Our main overhead door isn't tall enough, so we had to bring it in from our east sliding door. The building is 48'x80' but only 40' is finished (our shop). So we drove it through the unfinished portion and into the finished part. It was a bit of a tight squeeze to say the least... Needless to say, we won't be doing any work in the grain tank.
A view from our main overhead door.
Looking into the east door of the shop from the unfinished part.
Coming though the east door with my friend at the wheel.
He had to drive slowly and I had to watch very carefully because when we went from the unfinished part to the finished part, we had to drive up onto the concrete floor. Yes, it was as close as it looks. About 3/4" away from the light fixture.
edit: Because we're all BITOG'ers here, the filters we sell are NAPA Golds. We're very price competitive.
