    You could always put it IN the apartment! I know of a few people who have worked on their machines in the front room.

        yeah i bought it on monday from the guy in CDA. Cool someone who lives near! Yeah if you want to come take a look at it, that would be really helpful. I'm pretty sure I found someone to weld it (professionally that is) I just need to make the supports and tack them on for him.

        I'll pm you and we'll get together...

        Thanks!

              Years ago, when I was single and living in my ocean view bachelor suite in Victoria, I went in with 3 or 4 other guys and we rented a bay in a small industrial park a few miles from my apartment. It actually came out pretty cheap that way, and it sure cut down on hassles with my landlady and the other tennants. Might be worthwhile looking around...
