  Fixed that for you ...

  Too bad you never saw the real James Bond ...

Probably just as well.  According to a local news broadcast this morning, historically the groundhog's predictions have been wrong 61% of the time - a record which is barely better than the local meteorologists ...

I've always looked at the occasional speeding ticket as a tax I pay to drive however I want to ...

  Ignore him.  Life's too short to get bent out of shape because somebody else is a fool, it's better you spend your time working on how not to be one too ...

Now I see what you mean ...

  Let me put it this way, what's it cost to buy a new car?  There are so many variables to shop/garage/shed construction that square footage makes virtually no difference without establishing some kind of initial parameters ....

  Now just double that 20x30 to about 40x60 and you will be a lot happier next year ...

  OK, so who are the other 4 ...

  You need a permit to change out a water heater in Louisville?

  At 11 years old, replace it, then begin a maintenance schedule on the new one.

When I built my shop, we laid a single run of concrete bricks around the perimeter of the fresh slab and then built a standard 8" 2x4 studded wall on top of that.  I used wood trusses for the ceiling and roof, walls and ceiling fully insulated, and sealed with painted OSB.  This combination has made a decent workshop, but the next time I build one it will be significantly taller as the @ 8'4" ceiling height limits what you can do inside.  Like others, I would also build bigger (the current one is 26x36).  I learned long ago to make extra wire pulls thru the "attic" before sealing, this allows for future circuit expansion.  I would also suggest at least plumbing in a drain and a water line, you don't have to hook then up, just have them run through the slab/footing prior to pouring, this enables you to add water at a later date if your plans change.  You might also think about running phone and/or ethernet lines in with your electric supply (assuming that like me, you live in an area where wireless service is not available), also for future expansion/different needs at later dates.

  I don't like those little rat-dogs anyway, always felt they made good snacks for real dogs ...

  You needed affirmation on that?

  I agree, stocking up on ammo in those little 1000 round packs takes forever ...

  I think they did that one already, most of those kids are in their 50's now ...

Picking up roadkill is perfectly legal in Tennessee, we have a law about that.  Anybody who eats in Chinese restaurants can't be all that picky to start with ...

  Ah, I see you've met my uncle then ...

  This thread could be well on the way to becoming epic ...

  While I agree with most everything posted so far, including this post, it's folks who do regret getting into loading that I look for - most of my equipment, and a good supply of components I've obtained well below market prices by arranging meets with those with regrets ...     This hasn't been my experience loading 9mm on the Classic Turret, OAL range on mine is actually a bit better than the typical store-bought range ammo I've compared ...

  Very true, and short of some sort of Federal law being passed that's not likely to change.  It's doubtful Tennessee could win any sort of suit filed in another state requiring a business in that state to collect sales tax for Tennessee ...

  Ever been to Somerville?

  Easy.  Dollar Stores, Dollar General, etc. have been making inroads into the Podunk, USA markets.  Walmart being Walmart means that that was unacceptable, thus the "mini-Walmarts".  These stores haven't worked, at least in some markets, therefore they have to go ...

  I don't think David , Sam, or anybody from Magnum Materials has ever been to Jackson.  I have seen them at Germantown and Paducah before.
