Ohh, nice dozer.

The Diesel creek guy has some great info on dozers. Mainly the undercarriage and blade. Looks like that's a 6 way blade (great) and komatsu are solid.

Drop it at my place, I service it!! Just 8k, we can tow that!

Yeah I watch that guys vids also....

I googled the specs right after the pic.  Lol
I think this one has a 4 way blade, but haven't actually looked at it yet.
Trying to talk myself out of it for 2 reasons. It needs steering clutches (not cheap nor fun) and I don't have a trailer. Wouldn't be fun trying to fix it up here.

Roger on that JR.
I didn't pull the trigger because of the distance. Need to think about it. Might be cheaper to just get a decent one up there, to begin with.

Left some more tools, including some fishing gear. Had to throw in some shelving to organize.

Back home now. Don't know how many more times I can make that trip, non stop. Quickest time yet, 21 hours. Ugh

Is that a shed you built up there? I'm going to build a small (6x8) to keep the quad and gen in. Fit nice behind the cont and can move with forks.

Ken , we usually spend one night and two days making the trip down to Bullhead from Seattle area. One day trip is a mighty long day. You are going to pull a JR and end up in the ditch doing that

You're right, but I only have so many days to accomplish these projects and still have a day of rest. It will be planned different next time tho.

JR, store bought, last time we were there. The place that I rented the skid steer from had sheds for sale, delivered.

Not sure about going that way yet. Free is tuff to beat plus a little work and tin, but so is time. May put that $$ into an awning to park under now, then next to the shop when I don't want to park inside.

Yup, time is a commodity that never seems to pan out!

So, I didn't get the dozer, although I did buy a trailer that would haul it. By the time I decided to go for it, he traded it to someone else.
..then I found a local one last week. Same dozer, but hydrostatic, and very nice. I called on it exactly 1 day after someone bought it. Oh well. A skid steer would be more useful, but they're stupid expensive, and not great on steep slopes.

This year's trip is coming up so it's time to organize. I'm going to start off by expanding the meadow, making a pad and roof for my trailer, and at the same time figure out where the future cabin will reside without having to cut out too much mountain to make it work.

Started the IAP (Idaho awning project) today. It's going to use a full bundle of 4x4s, 32 feet long. This will be used to cover my 5th wheel and at least the mini excavator....60' long and 15' wide.

The idea is to make it screw together once I'm up there. I bought some 5/16" self tappers to make that happen.

First up was cutting 7 tubes in half to get 14 posts. 3-4 feet in the ground will make them 12-13 tall. Then made a bunch of plates to weld on. All the bare steel gets coated with zinc from a spray can.

Assuming you calculated this structure for the snow load of the area? Just checking and reminding a southern border brother  :wink: :wink:
Well, if you consider "it crossed my mind" as a calculation then I would say yes. Lol
It will be braced once I determine the material. .. trying to keep it somewhat light.

We're just trying to get the 5th wheel setup so:
 #1 is snow protection (even though there was less than a foot this year)
#2= drill a well (neighbor just paid 30k)
#3= septic
#4= power (not crucial at this time)
#5= pay off property
#6= win lottery to build nice cabin
#6a= wake up from utopian dream, sell
shop and build cabin myself with all the newfound free time.

#6z= wake up from 2nd dream and put log siding on the trailer.

Invest 10K-15K in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lite Coin and Bit Coin cash right now. Wait two years, then pull out the $15,000 and use the balance to build your cabin

There, fixed that problem...

Been drilling holes and welding almost all day. Didn't feel like working on cars, but cars would've been less tiring.
Most of the rafters are done. Made a couple more after these pics.

Maybe if I thought about it ahead of time, and wanted to wait.

I used the plasma on all the saddles for the header tubes. Each plate has 5 holes...2 plates per upright X 14 =140 holes and it took about 20 minutes. Just thought the rafter mounts should be more precise.

Got the purlins and roofing yesterday for the Idaho project.
 Spent today cutting, notching, and drilling bolt holes, sticking to the plan of bolting/screwing this RV shed together instead of welding it. Not sure if I'm saving myself any work going this route, but hindsight is what it is.

Now to figure out how to get it on the gooseneck considering I had planned on using 18, Z-purlins, which would stack really well, but ended up with 24, 8" C-purlins, which take up about 10 times the space.(and they're flippin heavy for one guy to move around!)

First pics are of the trailer loaded down with the rafters, headers, and posts....that needs to be reloaded now.

I’ve seen that movie.  Wait until you have to lift those purlins in place. First time I did it I walked one end of a 30 footer up a ladder and placed in the C channel and then put the ladder at the other end and walked it up the ladder. Last time I used the tractor.

I’m a little concerned about your notches on the ends and what that is doing to the structural integrity.

I knew you would call me out on that, but:

The notch allows them to overlap 4", the width of the rafters. I didn't want to butt them together without welding.
Once in place, I'll drive in 4 or more 5/16" screws on the flat side to take more load.
Maybe I should use bolts?

I think (hope) the mini x will be my crane.

There's 7 rafters, 10 feet apart, for a total of 60 feet. (4x4 galvanized).
There will be 4 rolls of purlins on each side, horizontal, with 4ish foot spacing from peak to eaves. (The panels are 12' long).
3-21' purlins end to end make a roll....24 total.

So, the inner ends of the outer purlins will be recessed into the center purlins, instead of end to end.

Make sense?

Use bolts. They will pull tighter and spread the load better with washers.

The end cuts should not affect strength on the length. Cuts in the span will hurt more.

It looks heavy and a good job with all the supports. Ladders, forks, totes and even some building parts!

Be sure to check the straps are specked for the load. There are some DOT guys out there who really looks for the little things.

Maybe get it weighed so you know your not over 26k if you get stopped and know the overhang laws. Normally under 4ft=no flag.

Not being picky but a clean trip is way better!

Utah just had a UDOT week thing going on right no.  Kinda like the click it or ticket deal.  Trucks pulled over getting checked by UHP and full inspections at the ports.    Been nice rolling past in a empty truck all week.

She's right at 4' JR, after I cut 2 feet off. Lol.
Here's a different view, before adding the tin, ladders, and purlins.

That looks good, nice job. The other picture made it hard to tell.
