tight quarters there, JR. Nicely done.
That is the easy one! 2 more to go under the openings.

Place looks great!
Being retired is nice. Got all my wife's perks for now and seem to have no free time unless I really just sit. That is never long as you start add ons and suburban projects.

Got her dug out but decided to use the old footing with the new. Cut the Sono to match, added some rebar to tie it in and mixed what amounted to 5 bags for it. (60#)
Sistered the 2x6 above and used a DIY plumb bob. Added a couple rebars to the pad and filled it up. Later the kids put their initials in it.

The outside wall on the addition is over the center of the house with just a simple wall under it. Under the house there is simply a doubled 2x6 with footings every 8ft of so. By shearing the wall this spreads the load along the entire length of the load even though it is bolted the the houses center beam up top.
The post that supports the roof center beam needs a support to the foundation also, hence the 18 footing. Then there is another on both corners below the addition and another under a door jam that places the footing about every 4ft.
None of this takes into account the two 10in I beams the run the length of the house (manufactured home). Engineer said it needs to be build almost like a stand alone structure. Way overkill.

So you are building an ARK now?? That will be a thread!!!

Cut out the last joist and marked it out. Found the footing there goes about 8in under the block, just next to where I need to put the main footing for the main beam. Will sister a 2x6 to the existing then add new joists on hangers when done. Need 4 footings along the 14ft wall, need to dig 3 out. Only this one needs triming, others are clean dirt/clay. Got a Bauer SDS Max hammer/drill to assist in all this along with the spade for digging. Boys will get to haul dirt  Mixing cement under there will not be fun.

Got it opened up and need to put 3 footings down.
Not a lot of space but could be worse.

Its still in the 50s here, but getting a little rain.
Got a new SDSMax hammer drill at HF. Works good as I started this.

The split ac unit came in today and I got going on the closet.
Have to strip it out and add supports for the center beam. Then shear it with OSB and pin it to the new structure.
Then the floor comes out for 4 footings. Will do the sewer line since it is just 8ft away.

Got most of the foam up. Almost out but using the foil backed above the roof line and some extra below.

Yep, sounds like a great time.
Was this tuner a big name? I have the DSP5 but running a single 150hp tune now. Plus hearing of Dons new tune I keep thinking.

That decked system is nice. I have so much stuff in mine I built a shelf so I get good use from the slider.
My shell is a Snugtop. It was more than all the others but when I asked the diff it was obvious. The others were all flimsy.
Attaches with 6 "J" plates and nothing sticks out. Much stiffer and a solid fit. Paint it dead on to. I will say the flip down window leaked and the latches wore out, but not their product. The rear flip out windows rub a tad when closed is about the worst. I also got the rails installed for rack on top and love them. This also gives you something to mount things on the inside.
I wish I had the room to use drawers like that. I would use it all!

Thanks guys. He has a grey spot right now. He had a lazy eye when was young also wearing a patch for sometime.

Well, my oldest boy has a spot in his eye. Got back from the Dr and he looked a little concerned and going to talk to a specialist.
Saw the pics and looks like a small growth in the back of the eye similar to macular degeneration (per the Dr)
Waiting to hear about it now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Pray on it Don......REGARDLESS of the final decision/outcome: This project is what built this site- that little factor has paid tremendous dividends in multiple areas. Most importantly, the seeds sown and some already harvested in Christ’s name. You know some of those names Don (some we don’t and may never) and I know that they are worth more than ALL the money each one of us have expended on topics covered on the Real Man site!
God will provide the answer, solution and resolution.....God bless YOU for putting together the framework that has allowed this merry band of misfits who would have likely never crossed paths otherwise!
This is exactly what I was thinking. Now it has been a year or so,,,,,,,,,. So no worry about getting it done NOW, but you know where you are too.

I saw a weld on for the rear axle tubes, but on the outside.
Now HH needs more power first.

Well, I won't say it is the best, but I am very happy with my Porter Cable 20v.
Honestly I have not tried a lug nut with it. But I used it for the H1 wheels and some long lags and it worked great. Guess I will have to try a lug just to see now.
So I did. Just walked out and blew 2 lugs off the 1101 trailer and 2 off the 2500 sub. 14mm on the sub and the trailer has H1 wheels. So it gets the thumbup award!

Shot Show, good news and bad.
Show is everything new and coming in the firearms industry. Open only to vendors and such, no regular public allowed. The new vendor waiting time is about 2 years out.
Bad news is because of that, I am now not going. Turns out they are coming down on non vendors getting in and now need to verify you are a vendor or employee, normally a couple pay stubs.

How did you loose fingers Don? I only see the pre-ranger working.
Does look good though. Tell the pre-ranger he did a good job.
I do hear they like to bend the 44 axle tubes.

Well all I can add is they don't need to make contact with the skin. Sure its better but even into your clothes it will knock you down. Been on the ride when wearing a jacket.

I repaired the leak which has held up fine. I still need to coat the entire roof though. 10 years old.

« on: December 26, 2017, 02:17:19 AM »
You can use Epoxy resin. That will not eat foam and is just a easy to use and find. I did a GM headliner with it and it worked great! Plus it stays flexible unlike poly resin.
I need to coat mine, but a new roof would be better.

Guess the fire is gone. I got a rechargeable hair trimmer, demo bar (asked for both) and some snacks.
Asked for a Lab, breakdown 10/22 and a Edge CST to which my wife laughed at (well the gun and dog anyway)
I guess her taking "paid" time off so I can go to the shot show is my big one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Hope you all had a good one!!!!!
