You should be able to flush your motor if it has a fitting?

I was in Denver on business and my wife called me and said you have to watch the TV, she sounded really excited and I asked why? She said that they bombed the WTC buildings. I went and had breakfast and watched things unfold that would change the way we live forever. My daughter was 9 years old...

This week I was able to sheath the front of the garage, set the beams, set the joists on one half, and put the decking down on that half as well. Happy with the progress, hope to get the other half done and some walls up this week.

I'd buy a lottery ticket, glad you are OK!

Praying as we speak, get well soon!

DF, I am pumped just because I am finally building my perfect Garage, It's more like building a house because there is a 500sf 2nd story that wil be built this month. But yes, It will be so nice to have a warm place to work on things and hang out. Going to put a couple of TV's in the shop as...

Thanks Sweep, Need to get the deck done, and then start framing the upstairs. Lows in the 40's now at night, pleasant weather to work now that the heat is gone.

Let me clarify, not against hard working people, union or non, I'm just pointing out that the companies that run these trade show venues are union and they rape the vendors for that booth space, and add on's for the booths as well as freight. You can't work on your booth until they deliver your...

I haven't used a lift yet and have set half of my trusses and today I set my support beams for my other half of the garage which will have a 2nd story. Used ingenuity and 66 year old muscle to get them placed. I wish I had a lift like yours, Over $500 per day to rent something like that plus...

That is awesome! Thats the only way to build something with walls that high. Do you own that or did you have to rent?

Agree Matti, most of the exhibition space in the US is run by the unions, thieves at best.......

Waukesha County Snowmobile Association really supported that show. But it's true, they priced themselves right out of a show, no vendors, no show, greedy and gone.....

I am doing most of the build myself, My wife helps when she can but she is no carpenter and I don't expect her to be one but she's learning and I appreciate her help. I also have a couple of old guys on our street that have helped occasionally by raising walls, etc. My buddy, who is same age...

Me too Indy, That is why I built it with a 6/12 pitch and the load factor on those trusses are built to support a lot of snow which should stay on the roof with asphalt shingles. We never had an issue with snow or melting in the 8 years that we have been here and we've had a lot of snow most...

Thanks Skiroule, It is a project and I've just maybe passed the halfway point on framing. What I get done in the next 25 days will give me a good idea of where I stand on my timeline.

The house and garage will be connected eventually.

Nice healthy looking fish Skiroule, the 2nd one almost looks like a walleye from over here in Northern Wisconsin.

Progress last week included getting the sheathing on the first part of the garage, building the gables, and putting on the silicone felt paper. At least now I have 20' x 30' that is waterproof so I have moved some things inside that were in my driveway. It was just me working alone this past and...

After the front comes through we usually get a East/NE wind which results in no fish or very little action.
