Title: Moving to the country
Post by: steve1973 on February 19, 2018, 08:10:54 PM: Hi Guys,
Just want to let you all know after two year of looking for a house I finally found one. It is about 35 miles of I-5, mid Oregon, with just over an acre with water front. All I need now is a shop so I can get out of the two warehouses I lease. So, in the coming weeks I will be selling some of my prime extra parts that I have collected over the years. I'm also interested if someone wants to buy my huge lot of armor bolts. I've made some good money selling them but don't have the room anymore. Again, I need to build a shop. I will miss the MVPA convention this year and will miss seeing you guys but the future is bright for going to future conventions.

Steve A.

Will be PMing you with a bolt order if that helps take the load off a little.

My guess is someone who he lent space to so he could rebuild his HT. :o

Congrats Steve!

I fond some stuff I didn't even know I had. I did hear some rumors of a guy in my area that has small tractors, scrapers and a crane to boot. I will have to get permission from his boss though.

It's great when your dreams start coming together! More room means more HMV's?
