Then covered the remaining exposed wood

I want to say I have a minimum of R17 walls and roof. Not the best, but much better than bare studded and sheeted wall. Considering the potential for thermal storage of 500+ gallons of water, I shouldn't see any problems out of this setup excpet under very severe conditions.

The door seal detail is shown here minus the foam gasket that will get applied over some paint

Then I started covering the itchy mess with that foam board Shawn swoons over. Personally, I don't care for the color, but he does, so I continue using it to keep him and other folks happy

Yes, and thank you for asking, I did tape the adjacent pieces of insulation bat together. Found this super tape that is used in the military to tape rotor blades back onto helicopter rotorheads when they fall off...Good stuff!

I created this flange surrounding the inside of the door to which I plan to affix some foam gasket stuff

The guy does to seem to be trying to live up to his campaign promises. I hope after the flurry of executive orders he goes back and tries to take everything through congress so that when another libtarb comes along they cant just go and undo it all with the stroke of a pen...

Only seven?

Aren't there like eight stans?

The rest of them will come with ban number two when he also begins eviction!!!

Naw, I figured it out. The Muslim countries not on that list are on Matthis's target list

I'm good now!

Not for me Shawn, I like the early 5.3s just fine. Don mentioned something about needing another heavy truck... I was just trying to find him a compromise, since the 2 that he has aren't good enough. Lol

Mid flight: The captain suddenly says to the first officer, "Oh, no, I forgot to lock my car!" 20 minutes and three hundred sixty degrees later the First Officer finally regains control of the aircraft!

Stupid is as stupid does. Was front and center in the article as well.

That's exactly what a horse approached from behind and spooked does...every time...

Liberalism seems to be a self healing disease ;-)

And why has no one spoke of a duraburb............!

That's one of the beauties of picking up a 2500 burb now. It could be turned into a duramax powered suburban when my rich uncle dies in the poor house!

Funny, I was picturing the below "truck" in my head.  Its got some definite benefits going for it.  The front bumper is low enough to catch on any curbs to keep you out of the dreaded mulch, and in the gut-wrenching circumstances where you end up in it anyway, the front air dam can act like a small plow to push it out of the way until you reach  the safety of solid ground.  Just sayin, I'm trying to watch out for you.

Positive thinkin' But you've seen the mulch around here...It's everywhere

How about some grass already!

Almost nothing can save you from getting mired in the mulch, or worse, getting stuck shopping for clothes with the wife...

Nothing good about malls, nothin'

I came up with this little key way section to tie the underside trim pieces together

It's a bit crooked because the roof panels are not attached, but just resting there. It will all tighten up with some of those long screws!

The corners trim out with opposite and overlapping joints

Remember the roof is actually two halves which must be coupled and completed once fastened to the structure, so the trim has a gap which I will cover with this patch

The pin captures both doors and holds them within an eighth of an inch from closing. I plan to build a flange behind the doors and set some foam sealer strip on it to really seal that area up

I just about have the structure completed and ready to transport down to the Farm

I just couldn't get the doors which are pretty thick, to fit well, so I cut out the center post and built another thinner one

Then hung the second door

Shawn is right, use the existing rig when you need heavy duty. Use a 1/2 ton the rest of the time. Maybe even buy an older Dodge diesel and rebuild it...Oh wait, I shouldn't have gone there.

Agreed ... no one will have any sympathy for you.  You can't complain about needing another vehicle when there is one that is 95% done already in your garage.

But if you are going to buy a suburban or Tahoe, avoid the half ton models from 2007 to current that have the 5.3L engine unless you secretly want it to fail so you can repower it with a diesel.  The active fuel management system has been causing valve lifter failures left and right, which basically results in needing a new engine, just out of warranty for many people.  The 6.0L that came in the 3/4 ton models did not have this issue as well as the 6.2L that came in the denalis and escalades up through 2009.  In 2010 AFM was added to the 6.2L as well.

Square D is not a driver truck

It's big heavy, will be loud and obnoxious and a rolling statement, not at all what I am looking for in a driver.

I want something easier to drive, but can still pull a trailer, albeit, maybe not one loaded with my tractor and a load of plywood.

Ken always has had my full faith and confidence!

Minus, of course, the couple of times I fired him   

The build Thread section is getting pretty populated with things other than actual builds. I felt we needed a place to discuss general topics, so I modified this section to include general vehicle discussion as well

Enjoy!

Does anyone have any experience with the keltec KSG?  Local gun store is running a specials on them for $550 this weekend, normally around $900.  Ive read some about them and they have piqued my interest.

Any info would be appreciated. 
Dave

That price is fantastic!

The first run of guns had a nasty habit of blowing up and fragging the owner

They have worked that issue out of the product now, I hear

Welcome back!

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began preparing the Executive offices for the new administration. OnTrump’s orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.



For the past 7 years, to appease any Muslims working at or visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the five times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable.
The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast. None of the prayer is mandatory or led by a government official, which has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment issues, but the obvious favoritism towards Islam, which is observed for 25 minutes per day seven days a week, tells a story this president has denied for eight years.



President-Elect Trump, who acknowledges that this country was founded by Christians and was built on Christian morals, is having all pagan symbols removed from the property unless they offer some historical significance. Only the cross in the White House chapel will remain for worship. Jim Mergernerlerny, head of the team that will transform the White House from the Obama’s home to the Trump’s second home, told
MSNBC:

 

“Mr. Trump doesn’t see the need to provide prayer rugs and false idols in a house built by Christians. Washington DC offers a diverse cultural center for worship of any kind. You won’t find any special considerations for Judaism or crucifixes to appease Catholics, either.
There is a simple chapel with a single cross on one wall that is suitable for prayer by anyone. Our government doesn’t need to be forcing prayer rituals down people’s throats just so we don’t ‘offend’
people looking to blow us up.”

 

Patriots around the US can rest assured that the era of apologizing for our faith has come to an end.

An engineer friend of mine was telling me of this very same set up.  A hydraulic ram set up.  I was toying with the idea of building a small simple cabin type structure down there on the creek and he was telling me how I could provide water pressure for it that way.  I'd prob mess it up if I tried to explain it again but something about placing a pickup down in the deepest part and putting a series of check valves in so the water would naturally fill and transverse the cavities due to the force of the water and gravity....there I tried. 

Buuut I don't think it would provide the volume I'd need.  I do have a generator I could keep down there and pump when I needed it.  I could just fill a resevoir at high ground and gravity feed the system.  If I came across a large enough PPL vessel I'd just fill it every other use or so.

Most applications of this setup move a bunch of water which the owners use to fill big tanks.

The water is then apportioned as necessary from said tanks
