Hide/Bug-out site construction thread, Part 2

[Flyin6]

When not in use, it is just like a bunch of Bernie supporters...It just hangs around!

[Flyin6]

I managed to shove another piece of plywood upstairs, since I hac not experienced any significant injuries yet. But due to how T&G fits together you dare not create a space that "Sandwiches" a piece in-between two already secured sheets.

Slick table idea!  Love the red bud trees a popin'

[Flyin6]

The trusses and end to end tie is temporary, holding the BW (Building wobble) to within acceptable limits. It will all be coming out when the floor is in and nailed down.

I cut out the collar ties which will finish out the peak of the roof, both making the rafters stronger, and giving me something straight to nail up the ceiling boards to

They'd look purdy poppin' through that snow in Chi-Town!

[Flyin6]

This section of the band board has to come out. That's gonna be fun for sure (FFS)! I nailed that sucker up before I decided to reorient the staircase. I'll probably double up the studs and block each to the other to add rigidity to that section of wall which is SSF (Sans Second Floor)

[Flyin6]

The worse battle damage of the stay! Got off easy...

[stlaser]

Safety First! Or last, or not at all!

I mounted this fire extinguisher near the glock, err, I mean door.

I can't decide if it's charged or not?!!? Guess I'll wait until something critical is on fire to find out! ;-)

Probably a future welding table.....

[Flyin6]

Neighbors are far away, and invisible once the trees leaf out.
I'd need a 1-oh-5 to hit them from my place!

Telephoto pics...houses maybe 2-3 miles away

That's a freakin GREAT idea! and right next to two gas cans and one jug of diesel! Just need to add in a few pounds of tannerite to make the scene complete!

[OldKooT]

Funny, I thought of Don today while I was welding a bracket for my mini tractor on my wooden work bench. I looked around, saw the Napatha can, the part washer full of mineral spirits and well, I welded faster LoL I really should build a welding table for the barn....someday.

Proof once again that wooden welding tables work!

Well I guess this explains your lack of updates. You've been a busy man!
Looks great!
Now get Sarge out there before you really break the Deere.

[Nate]

or sarge gets pissy and springs another leak

[Flyin6]

or sarge gets pissy and springs another leak

Sarge has the perfect owner

It leaks and I'm a Chinook pilot. Nuff said!

Now if I was a BlackHawk pilot, I'd get all scared and run away...

[Flyin6]

OK, today, I ordered the parts to fix the bucket...$171

Not too bad

And started planning my next project

Window shutters

Steel reinforced storm shutters

Electrified, steel reinforced storm shutters...

[Flyin6]

Steel conducts electricity

I have a steel door(s)

The shutters will be made of steel mesh and wood

There will be a 15 mile cattle shocker involved in the construction...

[stlaser]

Oh boy, electricity who promoted him to electrician/cattle farmer?!?

[cudakidd53]

I'll hold your hand and open that door there Don‼️

[Flyin6]

This project is gonna be fun!

Ma place: Bernie proof by design!

Where we design in multiple opportunities for B Sanders voters to experience (the end of) life!

Don't forget poor Hillarious! She would be quite upset at being left out!

She will not be left out, it is her turn, remember??

I plan on many cameras

I want folks or deer photo'd several times on approach to the electrocution area.

Well of course, I mean it is the tuck we're talking about & teeth r optional! Once the guy is toast you should have some way of identifying him so you can inform next of kin. It's only the right thing to do....... ::)

Disagree...

Next of Kin here are usually cammo'd up deer hunters with attitudes.

Kinda of like the wolf situation Duane was telling me about in Wyoming around his home town.

It's illegal to shoot wolves.

The wolves that are killing cattle for sport

Those wolves...

Lately, these wolves have been jumping in rivers and drowning themselves!

Locals, seeing dead wolves floating along with the current, will sometimes shoot at the DEAD carcasses for target practice.

Hillbillies are known to jump in rivers here as well...

[JR]

People disappear when hunting in the wrong place all the time.

[stlaser]

Actually you're both spot on. I knew a retired ky state trooper detective. Used to be president of KY mountain crawlers of Harlan county SE KY. Him & I used to disagree a lot in public on ways things should go with black mountain park. But when it was just him & I we got along great. So one day I'm looking around at this event with him next to me. I said to him "you must be pretty smart to have lived long enough to retire being position you were in?" My next statement was "I bet there are places you just don't go to at night around here w/o permission or an invitation?" He replied, Shawn there are places I don't go in broad daylight!"

[Flyin6]

Harlan, Hazard and some other counties are def bypass places.
I wanted to do a shoes giveaway up in the hills from Hazard a couple years back. The man who is from thre didn't want to go back in there.

There are people there who have never been to school, no social security numbers, no electricity, and no shoes. Now how do you get along with no shoes???

[cj7ox]

Now how do you get along with no shoes???

You develop very tough feet!

[stlaser]

That would be rough in the winter months there as it gets pretty frigid. Definitely a resilient bunch of people for sure. There's an old movie out called bloody Harlan, my elderly wheeling buddy had stories from when he was a kid about that.

[EL TATE]

Don,

Don't forget poor Hillarious! She would be quite upset at being left out!

I see what you did there ;)

[Flyin6]

OK, I now have everything I need to build my "Electric" shutters except for the 12 hinges

I am building 6 separate shutters to cover 3 main windows.

I can't do it all at once, but these three would be the easiest to gain access through. THe door lites will be next with a steel grid, then the two small east facing windows, then finally the two south wall windows. They will be under the shed roof and will get more of a steel grid than a shutter. I suppose I'll armor up the two top windows as well in time...
Total cost so far is $220 with tax

[Sammconn]

A 15 mile fencer will sure hurt on a few shutters!
I remember "testing" the 12 odd miles on our 40 miler before they had those fancy pansy test lights.
You sure knew about it when everything was right.

[KensAuto]

You serious on the electricifier Don? How will you insulate the shutters from the wood? I have some experience with those things, and can tell you that if it's hooked to a substance that can absorb water (wood siding) it will probably just short to ground....but....I haven't actually tried to electrify steel shudders before (and probably not too many folks have) lol

My plan is to coat the steel parts with something like a thin coating of rubberized undercoating. Should keep things separated, however if someone starts prying, they should pinch through the semi-flexible coating pdq and have a shocking experience.

And YES, I'm going to do it, why not?

[Wilbur]

As much as I hate to say this any risk of liability? I would love to believe a jury would say "not guilty" but with some of the nonsense we see today in society I would worry about said miscreants family crying how he was "turning his life around" and wanting big $.

Unless you're stocking lime at the site too....  ;)

[stlaser]

Unless tuck law has changed in recent years Don can't be sued unless he gave written permission for said persons to be on his property.

Wil, The entire country is not the same as the population centers where stupidity seems to rule the day

Let me give you some examples

In the county where My farm is, you can build a house, barn, garage, Space-X launch pad without a permit!

Yep, just do what you want and no body cares. That's called freedom....

But if your house burns down and kills you due to faulty construction, it's on you. That's freedom as well!

Our trailers and campers are not required to be registered or licensed...That's freedom from excessive tax collection

...And that drives police departments from neighboring states crazy..."Where's your vehicle tags?"

We do not have vehicle safety inspections...That's freedom to put steel tires and wheels on your tracked F450 if you want.

There are no annual, semi-annual, bi-annual, or any other divisible of time, pollution control systems checks! Everyone around here removes all that junk and sells it to people needing it on the east and west coasts. Catalytic converters are split open quickly, and the grids crushed, packaged, shipped and sold to some company which processes out the pladium. That's how we make our first payment....That's freedom from an oppressive EPA which Coal loving Kentucky absolutely abhors!

You can pull out a machine gun and open up and nobody cares.

Tannerite is sold everywhere

Many disagreements are resolved the old fashioned way, which is a boom for the cosmetic dental industry. The police mostly just say, "You boys just work it out, seems fine here." The judges are the same.

Our county attorney does not wear shoes all the time in the office! True!
He made a big deal about the fact that he added an indoor bathroom to his custom house this past year. Immediately following that, his girlfriend married him! That's true as well.

Reading these things might seem humorous to some, but if you really look into it deeper, we experience a great of deal of freedom here which simply does not exist elsewhere. Americans might get a chuckle at some of our Archaic, back-woods ways, but, in the end who has more freedom?

I challenge everyone to think about it

If it makes you feel unsettled, or like something isn't right, well, then, perhaps there is hope. Millions of you need to get dammed angry about this oppressive over-reach by a government run by leftist idiots. Then you need to do something about it.

[Wilbur]

Don you are absolutely right...my "thinking" gets clouded by what I witness here day in and day out. I thought that something left electrified like that might fall under the same category as spring guns and the like.....but hell maybe those are legal there too?

I COMPLETELY get your further comments on freedom which is why I am planning a move to Maine as soon as my youngest is out of school.  ;) The WHOLE East Coast is not f'd up. 

[KensAuto]

Wil, there's also the fact that livestock style electric fencing won't kill you,  but can sure hurt!
..especially the old ones that aren't electronic!!

Yep.....I know that first hand.  ::)

[Nate]

go with something like this!

http://www.tractorsupply.com/know-how_farm-ranch_fencing_electric-fence-designs-buffalo-bison-beefalo-fence

the electric fence that keep bison in, is upwards of like 10k voltage (no amperage as that's what will kill you!).  my neighbor when I was growing up raised bison, had the fence clearly labeled as to the wattage, but people thought they would try to reach thru it anyways, that was until they found themselves waking up on the other side of the street......;D

[TexasRedNeck]

Remember with electric fencing you need to provide a path to ground.  They may touch the wire but if they aren't grounded it no worky

Last one I built, I ran one wire maybe 10" off the ground and grounded the other wire to planet earth. I remember watching a daddy long legs walking up the grass. He steps over onto the wire and just like that, he turned into smoke! The body burned into a gas, leaving only the twisted remnants of that leg to witness his passing.

Hot wire to all the grids and the steel doors through the knob of course, and the remaining wire into the ground, into a steel plate, I'm thinking. Gonna bury one for the lightening ground anyway.

A little of that KY dew we are famous for ought to make the necessary connections!

[Nate]

here is some grounding info.  I have also added this to the knowledge section of the forum.
