My grandfather was also called Gramps. Your thread title caught my attention. You've got a great story to go along with your build.

I know how the weather can ruin your motivation. I grew up in Oregon, so I'd much rather work in the winter here in Texas than in the summer. I guess every place has its draw backs. Just keep going and you'll get that ride with your Gramps. It's awesome that your wife supports you in your efforts. Even bearing the cold with you.

Great progress so far. I'll be following along from here on. Keep up the great work!
