Above 1200 Sq/FT Shorty's Shed

[cbacres]

Since I don't have a lift and too much stuff in the way of doing any projects, I bake muffins.

I use it to keep track of project fasteners when there are different bolts and screws that come off in a certain order. Example: rebuilding a carb or ugly green Lista cabinet.

I also use baking sheet and casserole pan to hold the dirty grease parts that come off.

Too bad you didn't use it to keep track of the spring.

It'll take more than a muffin pan for those Lista parts, maybe Tampa has some heavy duty muff pans.

The picture is me lowering the wheel borrow. Here's the load that went up before wheel borrow came down. Oh And the neighbors come running when they hear loud thuds or crashes.

She probably didn't hear you because she was in deep study of the life insurance policy.

So, are you going to show us the CM box that's in the box? You have so much money you can just store new tool boxes in the loft?

Well if you really need to know, I was going to paint it green and set it on your shop carport.

I purchased a cheap CM roller w/top box (grey/grey) when it was cheap. I used the roller as the tool box during demolition of the loft. The roller will become the kitchen cabinet for my camping/cargo trailer.

The top in the box I will sell at Moultrie swap meet or paint it red/black, stamp a 60's date on it so I can sell it (big $) to this guy I know in Weeki Wachee.

Man, it ought to bring big money new in the box!

No more green, I'm going to use whatever rattle cans and paint so I don't have to hear about the green boxes anymore.

 

[taumac]

CB is on a roll today! That's what the boxes look like before Shorty drop them on the ground. Not that good of job rigging that up. Hopefully, they aren't destroyed

LOL, is there a new guy in Weeki Wachee. I got to meet this fellow.

 

[taumac]

Hmmmm, check...... check...... check......

Hey when you leaving town? LOL

Yeah, it's booby trapped, holes in the floor by the door, stuff hanging in the air on big shoestrings and that damn lift Christine probably has a life of its own.

 

[shortykorte]

Sorry no red/black craftsman, Reed or Columbia vises or CM block grinders. Yes lot of booby traps not counting Christine the Order Picker.

New guy is pretty cool dude.

All the good stuff is it the office anyway. LOL

Shorty,
Just catching up on the progress. Great to see movement on the MaxJax pads. Your going to love having it installed!

Keep cranking.

Cheers,
Chris

How'd you know my wife was in the office?

I'm looking forward to it for sure. It's been way to long and brake jobs/oil changes are stacking up. With all the concrete dust on everything I feel I'm in Colorado.

 

[shortykorte]

Hmmmmm.... Well.........

That BFH she was holding scared you didn't it.

 

[shortykorte]

Today was a good day. The 'hoe has been in the shop getting a new motor. They called and told me they hope to fire it up tomorrow morning. It will be so nice having the 'hoe back in dependable, drivable condition.

Also, a really nice GJ member said he was tired of some green tool cabinets, road trip this weekend?

The best news is the lift pad project is preceding as planned. Picked up some SDS chisels at lunch to go with the HF rotary drill. Works great on my project. First picture is after the first square had been removed. Next square to be removed was the one diagonal from the first. With both of these I had to chip away two edges so I could cut the wire mesh. Luckily the concrete saw cut through most of the wire. The other three pieces were able to be pried up as a slab. Those will be used out back as stepping stones.

 

[shortykorte]

Here is the reason for a new pad. I put this on the building inspector. This is no way a commercial slab should be this thin especially a warehouse slab. Thankfully money is more important to government than safety.

I think the thickest edge was approximately 3 1/2" with the average being around 2 1/2".

 

[shortykorte]

The slab at 6 pm and then at 7:30 pm this evening. It is a big relief that it went smoothly. The little pile to the right is the bulk of the debris that needs to be disposed of. It will be repurposed as downspout rip-rap.

Looking for volunteers to show me how a shovel works. I don't have experience with one so volunteers? Anybody? Hello?

I believe there's some cold Michelob in the frig.

 

[Lyndon]

I see a lot of great stuff in there. But I'm curious what you use the muffin pan for?

Yeah Shorty, and I want to know what is sitting on the chair (looks mighty suspicious).....

Lyndon
Just wondering?

Sorry Shorty, if I could I would volunteer.

What? Did you say Michelob? I leaving right now. Should be there about this time tomorrow. We'll get it knocked out. (And I'll give you a hand with the slab too)

2 things....

You're onto me mate. That makes it even better, the "slab" is why I offered to go and help. Although after a "slab", I wouldn't be much help at all.

That's a Jamican Gold fatty.

It's actually the spout to the red gas to the left. Remember I "multitask"

Sorry, slab as in slab of ribs. The guy with the green Listas is throwing in a couple of slabs.

Hey!

You calling me fat.....? :

Was once - but no more!

"Wink" - it's ok - I got it!

Lyndon
The slender one!

 

[taumac]

That was my "hammer" she was holding!

You're the lean, mean, sipping machine.

Sorry, she has no use for a 3 oz. ball peen.

 

[dlcwent]

I guess she doesn't think Gerard has a need for one either.

 

[cbacres]

Digging holes and pouring concrete, two slab job.

Not tired of green, tired of green comments, painting diffrent color.

I'm not sure about the wife, grabbing and hammer thing in office, all I know is Tampa was off radar for a while, G, well, being identiy of said hammer holder is cloudly.
Careful , STROUTY will be mad !

I'd love to cook some slabs while drinking a slab while you work on getting the slab ready to pour, I'll finish all three slabs.

...while I get the slab ready to pour? I thought you were a friend after me volunteering to do some heavy lifting decluttering at your place.

 

[cbacres]

I said I'd finish all three slabs.
1- 24 pk beer
2- plenty of rib slabs
3- finish, as in pouring and troweling concrete,which I'd have to be on my knees, and then you would have to hand me a beer, hard to get up

 

[taumac]

Will you ladies stop arguing... LOL

 

[cbacres]

What you think your going to do, stand there and tell us what to do?
We both have wives.

My bad. My to do list:
1- buy slab of beer
2- buy slabs of ribs
3- dig hole
4- find my concrete finishing tools

I wish you wasn't so far away, I'd come up, and I have concrete tools needed. It be easy to bang that out.

 

[cbacres]

Helpful hint.
If too much of the slab of beer (slab1)is consumed while pouring/finishing concrete, at least make sure concrete slab (slab2)is flat, so in the event that slab1 lasts longer than the setting time of slab2, it'll be easier to grind the next day after all the slab1 empties are pushed out of the way.

Slab3 (ribs) likley incinerated while trying frantically trying to save slab2.

I have experience in this.
But no ribs were harmed

Good point. Why listen to me when you guys don't listen to them and they have the power of the V over us. LOL
