And im so excited and very impressed.

Now i just have to get my electrician in to deal with some electrical work before i can use them and see what i can get done..

I am so happy i waited to buy exactly the machine i wanted and did not worry about having the machine now "as in months ago" or a couple or few grand.

More pictures to come..

It doesn't look like you have a walk-in basement, so you'd have to bring them down the steps. Did you build a ramp?

Not even the shipping to the UPS terminal was included. I had to hire a flat bed tow truck just to get the machines to my house.

Shipping and or moving cost amounted to about $1300-$1400 after tips and thank you money.

Being the cost of the machines and the consiquence if something went wrong it seemed like short money to have the machines safely in my house.absalutely

I work with the crane opperator at work from time to time so i got to strap the machines and even ride the ball!

I build hoses or rather work for a guy that builds really nice custom homes hence working with the crane opperator from time to time.

Yup,

Fenced yard.

First problem is the gate to my back yard is to narrow to fit a pallet through it. Second problem is the path is giant stepping stones. Third problem is a off camber down hill turn that would not be friendly to a top heavy machine.

A serious ramp.

I made it of a custom 22" LVL that had to be culled at work due to warping. The rest was constructed of 6x6 all lapp jointed glues and screwed together with timber lock screws.

I was paranoid something was going to go wrong. As a result i thought the whole thing all the way through and took every precaution.

Not a walkout but not a bulkhead. Door is 56" x 35" give or take. Drop into basement is 3 steps and 30".

Honestly after all that i ended up with a two buddies and tow truck and crane operator helping. We bolted the machine to two 2x10's using the brackets they use to bolt the machine to the shipping pallet. We then placed the machine on a pallet jack the five of us backed it down the ramp pretty darn easy...
