After months and months of property related legal issues (and thousands of dollars), my wife, children and myself have moved onto a beautiful piece of property. The kids are happy as we are no longer in the middle of the city; they can run and play a lot, they can enjoy the fish in the pond, the ducks, and everything else. My wife now has a larger kitchen, our own bathroom (not to be shared with the kids), her own shop for jewelry, clay, kids crafts, etc.. And, I've got a large front porch, a bigger house, much more to mow, and a small shop for my pen turning. Below are a few shots:

My lathe made it home:
Now my turning area is getting set up:
I still have a long ways to go. I'm buying an Oneida dust collection system off of another local turner. I have another lathe that goes in the mix, but needs a restoration (~1942 Walker Turner). I haven't photo'd since I moved my bandsaw and small dust collector over, and I need to find a decent table saw to invest in. I should have something made in this shop by the end of August! We began this journey last September, and I closed on the property on June 22. I think it's well worth it!
