I've been busy for the last month getting settled into the new house and getting Goliath unpacked. I had been hoping to transport Goliath in one piece (minus the oil and gas), but after the movers arrived and saw everything that was going to be packed, it became clear that wasn't going to happen. So I had to disassemble Goliath in addition to the test stand. Here's a shot of Goliath before being packed up on the moving truck.
Here's the test stand reassembled inside the new shop in Washington. Goliath is in the center ready to start being reassembled.
So that brings me to my latest part of the project which is adding a door to this end of the shop. This last weekend I got started by cutting out the door way. Here's the wall where I decided to place the door.
Here is the completed cut out for the door.
Meanwhile I'm still reassembling Goliath. Right now I've got one one of the belts re-installed and it won't be too much longer before the other one is back on. It's still going to take a while to get everything back together and double checked to start testing again.
During the down time I also ordered some Grade 8 1/4" bolts from McMaster Carr to replace the bolts that broke previously. We'll see if that fixes the issue of the propeller bolts breaking. Below are the new bolts installed with the old bolts on the table top.

I'll be keeping the page up to date with the latest progess, so if you curious where things are at in-between projects logs, be sure to check out things there.
