    Maybe in the future you can find a mint donor car for the interior. If anyone can find one, it's you!

          Damn good question!

          You know how every shop/garage/barn has that one corner? The corner you just stuff everything in because it has no proper home? That was my Colony Park corner, it was embarrassingly bad.
          I have a 4 post lift coming for the barn which requires moving the Colony Park back 4ft. Easy right? I should have taken before pics, but trust me, that was not happening. It took an entire day of throwing crap out, sorting and organizing, finishing some of those half started little projects you abandoned on any flat surface, putting up more shelving, vacuuming up multiple dead mice, you know, the usual.
          But after an entire day, I can say this corner is better than it has been in at least a decade. The wagon is on the ground and not covered in various piles of miscellaneous crap. Things I don't need are tossed, and things I don't need but couldn't throw out are at least moderately organized. Someday it'll all have to move again when I put up insulation, but I won't even pretend that's happening this year....
          It also greatly refueled me a bit to see the Colony Park back on all four. I really need to work on this again. It's fun barn art and a great talking point when people are over, but actually making it blow smoke sure would be great.
