    My shop caught on fire in Oct.07' ruined everything, repaired the building, then insurance co. canceled my policy because we have 35,000 sq ft retail building attatched to it, So i had to build a new building, finished overhead crane last week, and finished epoxy floor yesterday

    Man, I am sorry to hear that! Super cool you've got some more machines on the way, though. Keep us posted!

    Your insurance cancelled AFTER the fire???
