I have had a lot of fun building this place, but as it winds down and we host our first 4 day class here starting exactly one month from today, I am ready to be done.

Still need to make a few more pieces of furniture from engine parts, do the landscaping outside, set up the classrooms and build the stainless steel work tables in my engine assembly "clean room".

All set then!

All you need left to do is to install a good old fashion and indestructible security system. Contact Matt (Rottweiler breeders in Atlanta Georgia - Georgia Rottweiler puppies for sale).

Get a pair, no electricity or petrol required, just 100kg of protein /month lollll Only disadvantage is its very hard to unplug shall the worst happen. Last time my pups bit the intruder I had to load the two dogs in the ambulance with him - they just didn't want to let go for about 30min. 'unpractical'

Other than that, they're great and docile security officers (and tool keepers)

Think about Webcast also. The world is too big for all of us to join you guys :/

I will say this security is NOT an issue at ANY Raby compound. Intruders have been warned .

My forte is hands on classes, can't get that experience any other way. I do have some online classes coming and these are prerequisites for attending the hands on classes. In the spring I might start some online consultation type classes for those wanting to buy a Boxster or 996, and want to learn the ins and outs of the engine issues.

Again, nothing beats hands on, and after 4 days of actually building an engine in a building full of attendees, I am whipped. These engines aren't mock ups, they are the real deal, and we use them for testing products after they are completed in the class.

The security dog is already taken care of and I just finished putting up one mile of fence around the property for the patrol to cover. I have German Shepherd security at my old location, because there's someone there most every day. Here there will be some days when no one is around, because I am the only person around, since its my personal getaway. It does appear that a Rott is the best for this, as they work better alone than other breeds. This is on top of the buildings security system, and a few other "options" that most people don't employ. One good thing about being in this area is no one bothers your stuff, and everybody knows everybody. I had a contractor show up one day in a vehicle that wasn't recognized, and the Mailman called me to let me know., when he couldn't get in touch with me, he confronted the person.

Security isn't a concern at any of my properties. A guy like me likes bad guys, they give us a reason to use our toys.

Someone mentioned Rifle Range... Well I have a 75 yard range at my old location, and a 300 yard range here at the new location. Here's the view off the second story, back deck. When people attend classes, I promise a very unique experience, much more different than they'd expect. I plan to have a social one night at each class, and I need to finish the bonfire ring before the inaugural class next month. Some form of wild meat will be on the menu :-)

Jake,

What is your opinion / experience with students using the material in your courses at a later date rather than imediately following a class. Are most able to cope with an engine build a year on?
