Cool. Wish you luck, maybe someone on here will know of something nice nearby. Unless you are interested in a project that has to be shipped across the country - I know where there is one of those nearby. lol. ---

I found one on Facebook market place about 300 miles from my house. I flew down to check it out and arranged a shipper from uShip for the next day. He picked up that day and it was in my garage about 11:00pm. It was only about $300 to ship in enclosed trailer. Don’t be afraid to go outside of your local market. Shipping is relatively cheap for the right deal. ---
