What is that box hiding?
HVAC intake, post 237.

Yep with no real fuel it works fast and has no smell like others. I would like to see a framer also and have watched for one. But then again I like screws to much.
With that I made the platform for the BOX today. Used a builders sheet from lowes and cut it to match the grain of the floor. Will stain it grey and seal with poly like the stair casing. My clamps were a little short so I mounted on wood with scraps on the ends screwed in. Used the newer gorilla clear glue and shims to snug em up.

Nice detailed post. Is it normal for the speedo to take 10 minutes to work after a repair?
Who is trying to stay out of the picture?

See HD lists the nailer for $320. I paid well under 2 for mine, NIB.
Pesolodes are nice, but you have to buy fuel for em.

Dave, looks a lot like my HF saw. Mine works great and was that price new. To bad you aren't closer.

That’s why I drive a diesel, black coal, Smokey burn outs and a middle finger out the window.

I like the ring shank but is it full dia there or not centered for the cut?
I would still glue, you can't come back for that later like you can with nails.

Maybe he was on some mulch?
Thanks for the info on the tunes. That is budget friendly!!!!

Thx Jared, I can see why though it is hard work even with the right tools. So I just saved around $1000 for my 12 steps! Plus the high end padding was free, the guy at lowes gave me big peice when I got the carpet.
Had a buddy who used to do my carpeting, showed my a lot.

Thank god for prop 13 hear. My property tax is around $3k and can only go up 1.5% py no matter the value!
On a side not though we pay 13% state income tax and is why so many are leaving the state. Add that to the recent gas/fuel tax increase and we getting hammered!
Now if it really went to what is was supposed to it would not be as bad. Hardly any makes it to the classroom or the roads but we have nice bike paths and great school admin buildings!
I know what you mean about doing it until you are happy, thats why my add on is past 6 months vs the 6 weeks I hoped. I glue and screw almost everything. 2 second story floors now one over 10 years old with a 22ft span. No squeaks or movement at all.
So yes, glue!!!!
I have plans for a false wall upstairs when I get a little more time. With 2 long storage areas the end of them is just right for that.

Got a late start and about 1/2 the stairs carpeted. Looks OK for not doing it before, gotta love youtube

Love the built in and the storage ideas. I have a couple spots in my house no one but I know about and more coming.

Nice update Sean.

Looks like you got what you wanted out of the redo. Took a little longer but now you are ready for the mall mulch.
So how much was the tune from OPS and was it loaded on a new programmer or EFI?
7423
« on: May 04, 2018, 12:46:41 PM »
Nice info Jared, thx!
I like the spax/torx head screws also. Used #2 phillips for years but they always seem to require extra effort and skip all the time.

This uses a nitrogen piston with a 15g brad nail. It nails as fast as you pull the trigger. I am using 1.5 and 2in nails, no problem at all.
Have only recharged the battery twice in 2 years.

Isn't it just a single bolt up on top? At the most pull the fender.
Nice job, now go smoke em!

Got all the baseboard painted and some of it on too. Used the HF $9.99 HVLP and it worked great. Over the years I have picked up several, they just work and I have spares!
Drilled the wall for the HVAC lines and did a test mount. Sits just right but the line come out in the middle of the wall outside! The ac line was right where it was supposed to be.
The Senco Fusion nailer proved its value again on the baseboards and the door trim. Never missed a beat and does a nice countersink to boot. Wish they would expand the line.
Not sure of the fuzzy pics?

You sayin' burning tires is childish? Man, I must still be in the womb if that's the case.

Oh, and Nate, what's that ugly round green thing in the pic?
Looks like a "service tree"

Yep a video of how it sounds and a good run at least! No mulch beds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Where is the Kawa?

THX Don. It is one of those things you have to go through, tough to explain. Spending what time I can with her without going nutz. My dad went as best as it can get. Went to sleep, never woke up but way to young at 63 not seeing any grand kids.
Now number 2 glowplug is acting up. Ordered an extra this time. Can't see doing them all when 1/2 have been replaced!

That bench is about at strong as the vise, he might be OK. Nate, you bought the bench. Maybe you need a REAL MAN BENCH 
7432
« on: May 02, 2018, 04:00:21 PM »
A stand for the grinder is fine. Lets you grind funny things and keeps the crud off the bench.
I had one of those brake stands for a vise, hated it. Always seemed to be in the way, moves way easier than it looks (unless you want to move it).
Mount a smaller vise on the table and a bigger vise on a dedicated poll that is solid! You will pry and heat things in it and solid is what you want!

I'm ready for some new treads this summer. All the parts are going on! Besides the pipes I got a wicked wheel also, should be fun.
On your open garage, sure if something did go down there is a large area that things would not be looked for. But legal is better!!

Yep, mine should be in assisted living. He doesn’t want that & I understand so it won’t be pushed yet. He is just tired, the fight has all but left him. That I think is the hardest part to see. At present time he still has the ability to come and go as he pleases. He’s fully aware of the situation getting worse and has acknowledged changes that need to take place and getting people in to help on a regular basis. In his case I don’t see this going on much longer, his health is deteriorating quickly.
Unfortunately, my mom has about given up. It is more us now telling her how much we need her around vs what she says, but she is really loosing it too. Health is really going, not much helps anymore.

Shower looks good, but why did you grout the wood????????  Know what you mean Sean. Moms alert went off today at 0620 and was a false. Neighbor and fire were there before me (10min). Really getting worried about her. She is just getting tired of being tired,,,,,,,,,,

« on: May 02, 2018, 02:39:37 AM »
Hopefully it does what you want when done. Lotta work there!
Is it me or with the lift even the 37s look a little small?
7437
« on: May 01, 2018, 10:43:29 PM »
Yep, I am the opposite. You have to drug the heck out of me. Last time I took 6 shots and the dentist and it still hurt.
PT, know who you get. My last was great but the last visit put me back weeks, knee says hi there!

Really surprised you kept chugging after that little demo. All looks good.

 Mine complain too. I always get, "its not my room" and then I remind they get theirs when she gets hers.

Went camping with the boys near where the big fires in Sonoma last year. Sugar Loaf state park (right next to where I went to the academy in 91) They went zip lining in Occidental, I'm a scout to heavy to go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So you are doing the framing? Sure looks good so far.
Any family handprints? We have em all over!

Sweet!!! Is the garage floor thicker than the house, like lift thick? Now go into the garage area and put a drop of oil somewhere to break it in

« on: April 27, 2018, 01:27:08 PM »
Debating it is all. I see people do it for faster spoolup but I am looking for less dash heat. Not that it is a problem now so the shield might be a better idea.
7446
« on: April 27, 2018, 12:06:09 AM »
Looks good so far. So clean cept the extra copper spray all over.
Question. Thinking of wrapping my up pipes, more for heat than anything else. Or do you guys think another barrier on the firewall is good?

Heard a click in the front of the dmax yesterday and found the left front hub was wobbling about an inch. I carry a spare (upper ball too) so it was done in about 1.5 hours. It probably took longer getting tools and putting them away than the actual work. The hub is cheap, the good ones will go on with the lift.
These are still the stock pads and rotor on this thing, 150k. Guess I don't brake that hard!
7448
« on: April 26, 2018, 11:25:12 PM »
No work again today.
Yard work in the AM then I found that my left front hub was bad again, so that had to get done.

I have bumpers for mine, just not installed yet I still have a few ryobi tools. They just seem to fill a few spots that PC does not. Bear, do you have anything for GM square bodies?

« on: April 26, 2018, 12:56:52 AM »
Getting there, looks good.
I did order the PPE setup for mine today and a new turbo wheel. Think I have about $5k in parts to go on the LBZ so I need to get that thread going again!
I see many retailers are using that same tuner you listed above.
Hey, JR
I'll put up that Diesel Ops link next couple days so you can order your parts through them so we can cash in at the site...if it isn't too late.
Great. Maybe a little $$ for the sight and a better running truck for me. Only issue I see is all this is leading to a trans build,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
