Nice journal. That is a nice looking display. I like your dirty bobcat. I like how you have some junk laying around in your sheds. That is how most peoples sheds really are. Keep up the great work.

Really nice journal, glade to see a machinery line up with pictures. Looks like you have a really basic and practicle line up. What did you use for inside the shed? Is that sand? By the way nice touch with the poster on the toolbox lol .Keep up the great work.
