A new development has came I the last few days we will be moving my old "mini shop" to our cabin Saturday I got the last of my stuff out of it tonight and will be lifting it onto a trailer tomorrow
Here is a pic of the old 6.5 doin sone work and a couple of my old mini shop
Well I got my building permits and have decided to go with footings for a couple reasons, much better structurally, better to heat, and lastly im afraid that if I poured a slab the weight of trailer and building would crack the concrete since it will stl be rather green.
Our frost code is 42"...
I was orginally going to do a slab for this with a thickened edge but have been giving thought to doing footings. a poured footing 12"x48" is going to be 14yrds of concrete at about $1200, plus the 3 courses of block on top of that bringing me to around $1500.
Or I could do a 12"x12" footing...
So I am going to be putting my wood burner back into this garage but I can decide where the best place to put it would be, I know I'm a long ways off from this yet but trying to get the layout right from the start. The options are the back corners or in the middle, what's every ones thoughts...

The guy who bought the ground thought I was bat shit crazy when I told him it would be moved by end of weekend, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get it done with out some really good friends and my dad who busted there asses
Well so far I'm Into it for 250 and that includes fuel to go get trailer and beer and food for the workers, my only expenses will be concrete 19yrds, I'll pour my self and I'm going to put 3 courses of block to make 10 ft walls allowing me to have a 9ft door which will be a big expense, I'm...
A little over a week ago a buddy told me about a garage in town that was possibly free for the taking, I said that would be sweet try and find out more, that was on monday. Tuesday he saw the guy again and he said if you want it take it but I want it gone yesterday, he had plans to get his hoe...
Alright here's my dilemma, my truck started it's life as a k3500 drw cclb I have since converted it to a srw. it still has the 10,000lb springs in the rear and it rides like a lumber wagon.
I am wondering if I can just remove a spring from the pack or do I need to just swap them out for 3/4ton...
Is the white deal that has wires coming out for turn signals and break lights a plug or some sort of bushing, iv got some sort of a short in that area causeing me to loose right rear turn and break lights, I fiddled with it for an hr and was afraid to break it
well I finally heard a sound when I put the truck in reverse and it ended up being a bad u joint but that doesn't have anything to do with the abs code, the light didn't come back on when I went for a ride after doing the u joints, ill have to see what happens when she drives it this week
My wife's suburban recently has been making an odd (clanging banging, those are her words) sound when she steps on the breaks or accelerates from a stop. I have tried to get it to make the sound when Im driving it but like normal it never does what ever weird thing she is telling me about when I...
