Looking good Tommy. How often are you on site? I drove my builder nuts but I'm glad I did because I found things that were easier to fix during the process rather than after

The little ones taste better than the big ones and does better than boars.
Most pig shots are 75-200 around here. I’d use an ACOG 4x with a reflex optic on top. Of course that’s a pretty pricey optic but it’s great for hunting all kinds of varmits with an AR. Both two and four legged.

Only way I'd recommend it is if your employer pays for it and you have a ton of free time on your hand. Or at least look for a school that has a professor that has spent at least 20 years in the real world before teaching MBA classes.

Jesus, THE CHRIST, Son of God, by whom all things were brought into this world, your ways are not like our ways and we will never know, in time on this earth, your perfect and holy plan. I ask that your will be done and that if it is to heal, heal. If not, I pray that you provide comfort because we know that you will never place more upon us than we are able to deal with by the grace that you give. And that in some way this is for Your glory and our witness and may we have the strength to praise you in adversity just as in health and prosperity, AMEN.

And here it is set forth that there is no excuse, because He made it evident to all that there is one supreme God by what He made.
19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
While controversial to some, pay attention to "God gave them over" Just as He made some vessels for honor and some for dishonor.
There is no excuse for homosexuality,and no homosexual can enter the Kingdom.
Too many so called churches today want to be inclusive and fail to teach the truth out of fear of offending someone. The Word is a sword that cuts to the quick with power and even without studying the greek, it become very clear in some parts what God meant to say to sinners.

There in the very first verse he lays out his qualifications as a pastor and apostle. Being a pastor is a Holy call for and not a vocation.

Ha! This one needs to blend in. It will get a green paint job and I may camo the far side with some brown in addition to the green How much did it run ya tex? That size out here is 4K ish delivered 60 miles.
I bought the CWOinstead of the WWT (cargo worthy, instead of just a wind and water tight) the CWO is more but its usually in better shape cosmetically and structurally. Delivered 140 miles from the Port of Houston was just under $4k. Bought it from a broker online, called Western Container Sales. Pretty smooth process.

Ok. This was a bit of drama because of all the trees but he finally got it in place. It’s got a railroad tie under each end and it’s actually level! Here is the spot I picked out. Back behind the shop and tucked way in the trees. Mama doesnt want to have to see it.  Got spot leveled and measured so that the front will be even with the back of the shop. Like things neat and orderly. Drilled three holes and drove #8 rebar 4 ft into the ground so that when he sat the backend on the tie it didn't want to roll or move.   Can't believe my 20V drill put a 1 inch auger bit through that RR tie. I left my big 1/2 electric drill at the other house of course. But the little drill did well!  Got the rear RR tie level and went to work on the front spot.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jared
Your advice has been very helpful on my build.
Would appreciate a discussion of window installation since there is much conflicting information and that is where a lot of leaks occur.
Wood frame construction with tyvek. Fiberglass windows.
I’m planning on using the flex flashing seal on the bottoms and up the side about 6 inches. Cutting house wrap flap at top. Caulk three sides and flash tape sides then top. Going to try to beat the sill up and use shims to make the slope outward since I didn’t plan it when I Built it.
Why the extra housewrap/moisture barrier apron below the window when tyvek is already in place???
Help a novice please.

Can't decide on whether I want to put railing on the porch. I know code would say so, but I live code free in the woods. I do need to lay out the stairs, but I have two small trees right in front of the stair placement to cut down. By big Husvarna 372XP won't even sweat. I may just use the old poulan 20inch box store special on it.
So the delivery of the shipping container is scheduled for tomorow. I need to get up there later this evening so that I can drill holes and drive rebar in the ground through the rear most railroad tie to give the driver a place to set the back of the container. Then I'll slip another one under the front as he drops it. I'll lift the front of it with my high lift jack (rated 4600lb) and do final adjusting for the front and middle railroad ties. Unfortunately I don't have enough tractor to lift it as it will be about a 4250lb one end lift.
Once I get it leveled I'll work on pressure washing inside and out and then painting the outside green to match the shop

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bostitch-Framing-Nailer/3348476Best $50 I ever spent. Makes installing those simpson nails a piece of cake. Much cheaper than the simpson screws (although those do have their place) I love those torx drive screws and will never use phillips deck screws again. Question Don: Why do you need hurricane straps on that roof when the base is held down by gravity? By the time the roof wants to fly off it will be taking the whole base with it....

« on: December 03, 2017, 07:34:04 AM »
Jr, looking good and good progress.
just curious. Did you consider extending the roof line/room to the right, to encompass the stairs? It would have given a real roof over the stairs and provided a bit of room for storage.
in any event, Charlie Mike....

JR yes, spiral stairs, which is why I needed the dormer.
Ken I think it will last a while. The blade is pretty thick and a touch up with a file to keep the right angled edge would be about all I could see it needing at some point.
I only do construction. Wife will pick out the color, which may precipitate painting the main house to match if she picks a color different than what's on the main house....would like to see a picture of that stain tho

My dad was prejudiced until he was in the army boxing and realized when punched in the nose we all bled red. My uncle was big time prejudiced until he got his arm blown off in a training op and the medic was black. Medic lied and said my uncle was a full bird colonel to get the helicopter there. Changed his perspective.
I’m not racist but I hate ignorance and entitlement.
Tired of the race baiters like sharpton and Jackson and the like teaching the black community to blame whitey for all their woes.
Your personal choices are what keep you down. The poor in the US are still 1000 times better off than 90% of the worlds population and hard work and good clean living will raise you up from nothing. Stop blaming others. That’s what makes Jackson and Sharpton wealthy while blacks stay in poverty for generations. Just look at all the Democrat run inner cities. Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, St Louis. Need I keep going?

Nice! All of the pellet smokers are essentially the same. What really makes the difference is stainless. I would make sure your firepot and heat diffuser tray at a minimum are stainless. Also those igniter rods fail often. Go ahead and get a spare now. And keep fuses on hand too. You can light the firepot manually in a pinch. I also like using an additional smoke tube to get more smoke in the first two critical hours. Also a smoke hood that forces the smoke to stay in the chamber above the grate has helped me.
My Rec Tec just announced they stopped using hot rods for ignition and went to a ceramic igniter that is supposed to be good for 50,000 cycles. I bought one to retrofit. Will see how that works.
Again all these parts are interchangeable for the most part so you might be able to replace your pot with the SS and ceramic rod later on down the road.
I’m sure Nate told you about a fatty. And no not the green cross kind.
Report back when you get it.

Jared, great information and thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm most confused about all the differing and changing thoughts on window installation. Particularly the use of flashing material below the window, whether that be moist stop or other tyvek type products. If you already have a complete layer of tyvek on the house why and what use is that additional flap of material 12-18 inches below the window?

« on: November 28, 2017, 09:04:04 PM »
Jared. I bought a set of hardie shears to cut straight cuts. Have never used them before but it seems like they are perfect for cutting without dust. Any experience with those?
Also can you clarify on my question about nailing and the actual moist stop product?

Good intel Jared and Ryan. I did see the install with the flashing behind the joints. Thanks for the reminder. Jared I’m assuming you are referring to the product line by Fortifiber? Can you link to the product or provide more specifics on comparable material to use behind the joints?
Also let’s chat about nailing. I get the ring shank piece.
I’ve never liked blind nailing just the hidden portion. It just seems flimsy. Would you also nail into the lower portion of the plank every 32 inches or so?
