The truck looks great. You have gotten a lot done since the winter snows left.

I have just started back on mine as we have been busy with our store renovation in Waterton. I did manage to get some more concrete floor poured in my barn/shop and also built some work benches and stuff.

My truck now has a dedicated work station that is not in the way of anything.
