Funny thing about uber liberal NY is we can hunt 7 days a week for almost 3 months. Archery starts October 1st, gun starts Saturday before thanksgiving, and muzzle loader lasts until mid December. As for getting it out of the basement, I'm building it in the downstairs warmth for the winter, but once everything is mocked up, test fit, and painted, I'll do final assembly in the garage in the spring. I actually have 2 650's down there. The first 1 I took my time and tore it completely down this one I had to do in a rush so as to not explain to the wife why I "needed" another bike. I bring stuff out to the garage for welding, but I do everything else downstairs. I've got 2 large 3 stage air cleaners that I built and a heavy duty vent fan that pushes outside for when I'm grinding, painting, or anything else that kicks up lots of junk and fumes! It's great having a neighbor that's an HVAC guy. He gets me free squirrel cages out of furnaces he's replacing.
