D.O.T. / Re: WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)

In texas is has to do with the gvwr of the truck and trailer. If both exceed 26000, even though they may be empty then you just have class a license. It's not illegal if he had the right license and the rear axle of the SUV was not over limit.

I had to do a double take on the 200 on the speedo thinking it was MPH.

Today I intalled my 28 inch bar and chain on my husky 372xp and went and cut up the rest of a huge oak tree that had gone down in the storm at a neighbors house.  much more impressive saw with a 28 on it.

Still have a 32 on order.

I've used the utilitech and on a couple of cases they sometimes don't fire and I have to flick the switch to get them to fire.

I've moved on to retrofitting these

so far very pleased.

Ken I was thinking the same thing but wasn't going to say it.  Glad you did.   Perhaps a drop hitch turned upside down to at least make the trailer sit level.

Something like this

JR I get my MREs from The Ready Store. I have some full meal packs with heaters and then I buy cases of the entrees only which makes it more economical.  I also buy cases of just the heaters too.

Shawn glad I could give you a laugh. After manhandling those sheets of 1 1/8 plywood all day I was stiff as a board (pun intended) and just couldn't rotate.

Technically I guess they expire. There is a chart on the box that shows shelf life at certain storage temps. Not that they go bad. Probably just not as tasty.

Yeah Mike.  I stopped playing my new clubs a few years ago and went back to playing my ancient set of Zing2s

It's not the club's fault.

Oh and today I dumped and replaced my water storage at the city house. 60 gallons in 4 15gal food grade hdpe barrels. .6 tsp of bleach in each and fill with tap water. I'm also edging close to the dates I need to replace my MREs. I have a ton (!) of chicken fajita, sloppy Joe and beef stew. Did break into a lemon pound cake this evening and the kids enjoyed it.

Coffee Induced Early Morning Rant / Re: Love this!

The reality is that it is a purely economic decision.  The same NFL owners are fine hiring wife beaters, thugs, murderers like Ray Lewis.  Even dog abusers like Anthony Vick.  As long as the economic value they brings is bigger than the baggage they bring.  Kapernick is a racist who even hates his adoptive white parents who probably just didnt know he was black or they wouldnt have opened their hearts and home to him.

The sooner he and Hillary go away and stop blaming others for their plight the better. (sorry Ken)

Thanks Nate- yeah I saw that comment. So I think one way "around that" if using a Camp Chef (I too want the flexibility to use pots etc. ) is with a thicker gauge flat top....it would spread the heat better no? I tried to find the gauge of the CampChef one but it doesn't say, but basing on the weight and size it appears the Camp Chef version is around 3 gauge (almost 1/4"- a 16"x24" griddle weighs 28 lbs.). The Blackstone one is lighter (7 gauge) but that lighter metal probably still works due to the difference in the burners?

I'm probably overthinking this anyway (shocker I know!  :rolleyes:  :laugh:) I do want the ability to use pots/pans so the camp chef still seems like the best way to go. 

Wil, the camp chef will do you solid.  The thick top distributes heat well but you will notice at the very bottom in particular that there is a heat differential.  You can use that to your benefit.  Overall about 75-80 percent of the surface stays pretty consistent.

Nice Nate!

I remember where I was this day in 2001.  I was at work and heard about the first plane and went to the break room to see what what going on and as they were still speculating on why and how, I watched the second one hit.  It really took a while for it to register with me, that some one was that sick.

I was very naive then.

Today I played golf and sucked at it.  Of course its been more than a year since i last played or practice.  There were a couple of glimpses of decency.  I had one drive for 300 and another 290.  putter was meh and the irons made me look like I was having an epileptic fit.

Jared that's great experience for the kids.  I have a few cheat sheets and such and I'm sure I'll muddle through it.  As you know when you don't do this often (or ever) it just takes 4 times as long.  Especially if you have plans in your head and somewhat sketched out on paper.

Shawn any and all help is apprecaited if you have something that will help and is not too much trouble.

outside edges of the walls will measure 16x24.  roof will be framed on a 12/12 pitch with 2x6 rafters with 18-24 inch overhang (what ever looks right).  In the middle of the left long side as vieweed from the front will have a 6 ft wide shed dormer that begins at the peak and slopes down about 18-24 inches to the end of the dormer.  Sheath with 5/8 ply and metal R panel roof.

Thanks Jared.  I plan to balloon frame with 2x6x12 and use a 2x4 for a ledger board let into the 2x6 wall at 9ft.  Set i joists on that and that should give me 24 inches of pony wall upstairs on which to set the rafters on a 12/12 pitch.  That should give me 10ft at the peak.

I plan to use a steel spiral staircase so on the side with the stairs I will have a shed dormer that should give me 8ft headroom at the top of the stairs.  My biggest uncertainty is the roof framing.  Just getting the birdsmouths accurate and the overhangs and shed dormer framed will be a challenge.

Guys thanks for all the advice.  It makes so much sense to stagger seams once I started laying it. I cut the first row down to about 24 inches knowing I'll finish witj about 30 on the other side. This stuff is a workout. 1&1/8 thick. I used the grove from the piece I trimmed to make beater blocks. Sledge encouraged them into place. 49 deck screws in each sheet. When I split the last sheet into 4 ft pieces it was so bowed that no amount of screws would pull the edge down so I ditched it. Now I need 3 more sheets to finish. The APA label says the glue used in this ply is water resistant so hopefully if it gets a rain before I get it closed in I'll be ok

As for what it is, it appears to be just really thick plywood. I plan on getting the structure dried in shortly after putting the floor down. I'll tarp it in the mean time.

Jared thanks for the tips. I tried to plan so that I had exactly the right number of sheets. The floor is exactly 16x24. But then I found that the 4x8 sheets are actually 96x47 when you account for the tongue engagement in the groove. SMH. Now I will have to go buy two more sheets. I'll start by ripping one in half and finish with one that is 2'6".

I hadn't thought about this but should I be cutting every other row into 4x4 and putting one whole sheet in the middle and the 2 4x4 pieces on the ends so I don't have one seam running all the way down the center of the room as I would have if I just laid them in full sheets?

Looks good Ken. JR I've been thinking about cement counter tops in my upcoming outdoor kitchen. Don't know much about them. Would appreciate any advice.

Oh and yesterday wAs the HH6 birthday.  Decided to buy her a pool for the weekend place.  I guess that's the price I have to pay to be able to justify having a new shop built in a  few years.

So today I pulled a few of the joist hangers to get the joists more level. Being anal for sure. Then cut my cross braces and got everything buttoned up. Hitachi nail gun works well. Next up is laying the tongue and groove subfloor. 1 1/8 plywood. Any advice on how to lay the t&g would be appreciated. I plan to glue and screw but getting the tongue fully seated in the groove is where my concern lies.

JR I fat fingered it. Yes Senco

Longball I'd bail on it. Certainly not worth paying someone else and if you do it yourself who knows what else you might find.

Picked this up today. Dad has my Sencon and its for some reason not working.  Figure it be easier to just get a new one.

Went to get the ridgid that Dawg got and they were out of stock.  Settled on the hitachi 21 degree full round head framer nailer.  Slowes had it on sale for $169 today so I picked it up.

Wilbur I have the 3 burner camp chef stove with the heavy steel flat top.  That way I can pull it and use pots and pans if I need to. If you want a dedicated flat top the blackstone is hard to beat. I have a friend that has one and I've cooked on it. I would say that it heats more evenly because of the 3 U burners instead of the 3 round burners.

Since Don hasn't started the burger thread I thought I'd post what my daughters call the "best burger yet"

80/20 ground beef
Thin slices onions
Normal fixins


Press patties, place a pile of shredded cheese in the middle. Cover with another thin patty. Seal the edges and form.

Heat the flat top and toss a pile of onions on the flat top and then press the burger into them. Slow cook until onions are carmelized and So is the meat. Flip once and finish.

Butter buns and griddle.

Serve with lettuce tomato pickle mustard and miracle whip.

Cheese oozing

Carmelized onions and meat on the flat top make ALL the difference. Not sure I'll ever grill burgers over charcoal again.

Ah yes there is the military industrial complex that needs to get fed. So was communism the existential threat or a convenient excuse?

I will say that we are always the first to respond to international disasters and have a bigger heart than any other country.

I'd settle for stopping the extortion payments known as foreign aid to countries that hate us. That's billions back in the kitty right there.
