I am trying to update my build. Not sure if it is me or this site. Things seem to have changed. I can't seem to find out how to load pictures and see what I am doing when doing the update. Is it me or the site. Very fustrated.

After looking for way too long, I finally found a new shop. Going from 720 sq/ft to 2100 sq/ft is going to be a treat. Except for heating of course. Nothings perfect. Oh, there a house on the property too, which my wife will allow me to live in when I'm good. .

I did the on line stuff with Hagerty's for a quote on insurance. For my truck with a value of 38K and $500 deductible with the modes they asked about I am looking at about $550. Driving about 4K per year. Stored at my place. Is that reasonable. I thought most guys were paying around $250/year.
