Over a period of several months with the help of friends and family we undertook a major project: to transform a patch of ground next to our shop into additional covered storage area for our buses and farm equipment, and incorporate a service pit into the design. Since we now have two buses (for the time being) we need a place to store one out of the weather. We also need a place to safely service them from underneath without getting squashed by airbags. While 4-wheel bus lifts would be ideal, they are out of our budget and we don’t have the indoor clearance to make use of them anyway.
