Copy, never heard of them but I agree it looks similar.

As temps get back up in the 40’s I’m slowly erecting equipment in the shop. The jib boom on the skid loader is invaluable. Half the battle is finding where I boxed stuff up when moving out of Colorado shop. Of which it did sell a couple weeks back. Paid final electric bill on it yesterday. So my ties to hippyland are officially in the rearview.











One of my neighbors met a tragic end, here kitty kitty….

We do have one in the vicinity as we've come across tracks and scat on our walks / runs several times recently.

Not a lot to report, it’s been cold and I’ve been busy with axle building. We finally received a 4 day stretch with high 50’s and low 60’s.

I’ve been playing musical chairs with shop items. For the most part moving them up out of the way into the mezzanine I built last fall. I’ve setup the 2 post and jib crane.

Then proceeded to move items out of low bay section. Mainly so I can start to finish the 12’ tall ceiling in here.

Somewhere along the way I ended up with 4 extra 20’ I joists. This front corner is where the bathroom is roughed at and needs framed. In order to make best use of materials I cut the I joists to 150” and created what will be the ceiling for facilities along with a 3’ tall area that is roughly 12’ x 6’ for more storage. Win win….

The plan for this low bay section beyond the front man door and facilities is to be a 12’ x 27’ space that I use as a front counter of sorts and final axle assembly in the back of it. I will also package and ship from this area daily small parts. It will be a clean area of sorts off the main shop and many days in the winter I may not heat the main shop but just work from the separately heated low Bay Area.

I love the 50-60s for work. The 100s is what really slows me down(more)

The jib and the 2 post is a huge gain alone. Having the extra I joist works too. Pics?

I just scored my #5 rebar, that stuff is pricey retail.

Yup, 50-70’s are awesome work weather!

What do you want pics of JR? The joists are up in the pic I posted and the two post and jib being erected are in an older post.

Lazy Sunday, cutting various pieces for several projects.

Below are two well used acorn tables 5’ sq I picked up last fall. I need to fix a couple cracks and then have them Blanchard Ground to same thickness. Currently about .120 difference in height.

I saw the joists, but those plates are awsome! Kill for some of that stuff.

Is the plasma up and running? Still clearing a spot for my droid.

It’s in 2 car garage still, hanging in the official holding position. People decided to pay me to build axles so it took back burner atm. Read : “high dollar junk collecting bench atm”

Started framing water closet, doing a half wall on outside walls to get some insulation between concrete and drain and water line. I’d have preferred the waterline be in the wall but concrete guys screwed that up. I’ll hide it best I can under slop sink. Room will get cadet wall heater, fart fan along with toilet, waterless urinal and the slop sink.

With that break though, freezing should be no issue.

True, drain pipe is about a 1/4” from the wall. Plan is to spray foam behind it once I get plumbing squared away.

Wrap it with heater wire on a switch, 1/2 foam probably wont cut it. It is a drain though?

It is, I’m going to make it so I can access it easy enough. I may even put a screen type vent on there so warm air can get back to it. The cadet heater will be mounted in wall opposite this drain as well. So it will be blowing in that direction. Shouldn’t be an issue
