Score of the year..for me anyway!!

admin

My father has been hauling new multi-million dollar CNC machine's from Florida to north Tennessee for last couple month's, these machines are enclosed in a large steel "crate" which resemble's a carport. Well these large crate's are useless once the machine is removed, however they will be very usefull to me esp since they were FREE, total investment so far...fuel and oversize permits..  I got 1 12' x6', 1 12' x8' 2 26' x 12' and 1 skid 26' x 12'.. all are 12' high and have 4 side's,ceiling and are mounted to heavy C channel and sguare tube skid's. I will use thse as additions to my garage... a tool room, storage and a paint booth,with a 2 post style car lift...
