So...
Here is the new unit that will become the dyno cell.
First job, is to get the dimensions of the dyno and draw it all out on the floor to see what we have to play with.
It immediately becomes apparent that we are going to have to move the stairs, and the current front office. Doh.
So, we move those as necessary, and book a demo with dyno Dynamics and they bring their 2wd unit down for us to play with for the day as planning via specifications is all well and good, but there is nothing like the real thing and it certainly has us thinking of a few things we had not considered.
Sadly, ceiling clearance being one of them.
That upstairs is going to have to be ripped down and moved backwards a few feet to accommodate commercial vehicles. Nothings ever quite as simple as first perceived...
Anyone know a good reliable steel worker? Ah, Andy Cross... (AJC) So Andy comes in, we brief him and he gets to work and does a bloody good job in record time.
Meanwhile, we start to fix the stairs in their new position, initially, not quite to full building regs it seems... 
When Andy Cross has finished, we have an upstairs structure that will support a space shuttle and a downstairs area that has enough height for the commercials we often work on.
Bloody brilliant work, well pleased, thanks Andy. 
The pictures get sparse from here as we all work into the night every night turning this building into 6 separate areas:
- Dyno cell
- Reception
- Office
- Fan Room
- Training Room
- Mail Order Room
And of course occasionally stop for a refuel...
Now the main structure is up, its time to consider soundproofing, and that, is where the headaches begin.
