Sands, when it comes to retailing your work, I might be able to give you pointers that work. I reccomend getting a trailer, and working it into a portable show truck/home. That is Jenne and my plan for down the road.

Yea I have a close friens (actually camping buddies) and He is the nicest guy around- (so is she) would give his right arm and left arm then breakoff a leg for good measure! Well his brother stopped by when we were all camping- and I thought cool he is got to be a nice as his brother WRONG- he was a complete ARSEHOLE! I mean a complete and total idiot! After he left I asked my friends wife about it- she just said- Well there has got to be one in every family!

Sands, you will not need a trailer park. I have a second lot right next to our house. I have an hose, and we can deal with septic somehow. I also have electrical. Just come down when and if you can, and we will deal with the small stuff. Two or three weeks, no bigge, might be fun.

Sands, unless you communicate with the Electricals and do very strange things, even to my standards, you be cool. You will be able to back in the trailer, unhitch, travel, see, just hang out. We are really busy at the shop, so it will be more or less your spot for the time. There are plenty of people in our neighborhoods that have busses, trailers, so you will blend right in. I doubt you will be a problem at all. We are in a very quiet neighborhood, they roll up the sidewalks at night, except for a redneck or two riding bizzarre machines once or twice around the block. Plenty of room here, mostly rural, big city five miles up the road. Lots of quiet, with conviences around the corner. I would be glad to share what I have learned.

Way to go brudda. However, the pressure in your head is from the Electricals mating. You need to put a 9V battery, poles in your mouth, and a serious tinfoil hat. It is going to take time, but, it can be done. See, when the Electricals mate, they move around a lot. That is where the pressure in your head is coming from. The other thing you can do, is to bend over, grab your left foot with your right hand, pinch your nose with your left hand, spin around in a right hand circle and tell the Electricals to go away! Go away Electricals, go away! Just do that untill they go away. Even if you are in a resteraunt, just jump up and do the excercise. The difference is, instead of staying in one place, you move downt the isle. Electricals go away!!!!!

DUDE give up the smokes- Ain't doing nothing for ya! Oh and if you store any equip in the trailer- BE CAREFUL- it bounces around pretty bad back there (leaf springs only) My wife loves to sew when we camp- and we used to take her machine along- Well after only 3 of 4 short trips her machine was knocked out of alignment- to the tune of a couple of hundred bucks- They told us right out to put the machine on the floor in the truck!

thanks stefan i have no idea what im doin this is gonna be all new to me haha -- but i fig it would be better to keep the saws in the truck i can try and put the genie on the floor in the trailer and see how it acts cause i can keep liftin it in and out with my back -- that gives me something to think about now
and your right about the smokes i dont think ill be able to afford them in my budget soon so wheather i like it or not i think there gonna go hahaha

That Might do the trick- WIth the sewing machine we wrapped it in blankets and had a case for it- but I guess it was still jarred around too much-

Sands, do you still have the piece of plywood the Genie came bolted to when shipped? that would help keep the arbor from flexing on the longer hauls. another suggestion is to put tennis balls under the Genie when you are transporting it, they will act as shock absorbers, cuz Stefan is right, road vibration is a killer for precision equipment.
