Hey guys! my wife and kids are getting ready to start a new chapter in our lives. We're getting ready to build a new house. We have been in this one for about 11 years it was a complete remodel that took us 4 years to do. My dad is giving us 10 acres on the corner of his farm for us to build. So I'm gonna take a break from the hobby for a while. with that being said I will no longer have any grills made. I still have a few left so If any one wants one please let me know these just cost to much to get a big lot made and have them sit around. I have no more steps left either. The stainless I have tons of so that wont be a problem. I will be posting some things up for sale soon, one will be the Bruder track loader conversion I did, and the current triaxle that I built, I do have to finish it though. Ill be around but wont be posting much. Thanks!

This is unacceptable Brian, there are a lot of trucks that need your grilles and steps, I guess the house is just going to have to wait. Good luck Brian!

Great to hear the news on your home as we discussed. I do hate to hear you side-lining for a while though. Be sure to check in every once in a while. You've definitely set a benchmark in this hobby, be sure to return please.

Good luck. Hope you don't have too many light switches. I was talking to a guy building a house in Bulger and he told me the electrical inspector gets $1.50 per switch.

Thanks guys! I guess I should have phrased it as taking a break from building. I'll still try and make it to meets. And chat on here. Once I get this triaxle buttoned up I'm not going to build for a while. I have actually been working on our current house, finishing the laundry room , hoping to help increase the value. :cool:

Brian, it’s good to hear that your family is getting a new home. Congratulations on the upcoming home building. :)

I know how it is to live in one place for a prolonged period of time. I’ve lived at my current residence for the past 39 years. My folks and I changed houses once 27 years ago. We changed from a double-wide mobile home to a triple-wide modular mobile home, but remained on the same ½ acre. ;)

Try to stay current with us on the site, I know how it is to have a job and work at the house too. ‘Time consuming’ just doesn’t say enough. :cool:

We all wish you well and hope that the future is bright for you and your family. Have fun and be safe. :D:D
