Wow. I'm passing through the area in a few weeks, I must stop by the compound.
Our latest adventure
So, as some of you might have noticed, it is August and PaulH, DeLorean and I have not been around on the boards as much as usual.
Uh oh.
Now, in past Augusts, that's meant something like this:
![]()
Or this:
![]()
Not this year.
Instead of seeking adventure on the road, we decided to find a more secure facility for the fleet and ourselves. So we bought a homestead outside of Reading, Penna.
No. Really.
![]()
So...it's a fairly large, built-on house. There are a fair number of bathrooms (used to be 11 in the house, decommissioned the two newest discoveries over the weekend), six-ish bedrooms, five kitchens and two bars.
It also has some garages:
![]()
And a Quonset hut (forklift not shown)!

Now, it needs a bit of work, to be sure. The previous owners seemingly threw nothing away. Nothing.
![]()
But we're definitely keeping the sparkly ceiling...
![]()
And the lift:

(that's my 9-3 on it's inaugural run)
And I've already put the oven to good use.

Thanks! Three of those kitchens are within steps of each other, literally steps. We're slowly piecing together the rationale regarding the planning/lack thereof of the house from neighbors and others. It's puzzling, confusing, confounding and complicated.
But, after a lot of wrangling with the banks, it's ours. Or will be after many mortgage payments.
Yes. *nods*
Also, for Tweek (wherever you are these days), do not fret...there's plenty of Jesus in this new place, too.
Alas, The Last Supper did not stay with the house:
But, we got a parking spot set aside fer ya when ya visit:
