Above 1200 Sq/FT Shorty's Shed

[don long]

Hey Shorty
I see a couple of old stools that would go great in my indoor gas station.

I spent this afternoon cleaning out one of my cabinets and it's amazing what you discover that you bought long time ago for something and lost it before you used it lol.

Hey Shorty

Don, I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[dlcwent]

Nothing much at all... I'm in full lurking mood lately.

Is that some kind of whine?????

 

[Bears Fan]

Hey I like those stools too

 

[taumac]

Nope, not much post worthy stuff going on at my place so just sitting around watching what everyone else is doing.

 

[cbacres]

Looking great Shorty, nice ladder

Say, I thought you had a floor model drill press.

I'm hope to be winding down with my Moms place soon so I can devote some time to my cabinets.

Can't beat those Lismars!

Whatcha you talking about you're not doing anything, didn't you tell us on the side that your up to number 360 of thinking what you're going to use the stack on box for?

 

[cbacres]

Hey Shorty. I can't believe you've managed to get all that done with the heat and all. You are a trooper for sure. All I hear from the rest of the group is a lot of whining.

Looking great! Perfect place for that Lista. Everyone should have storage near their DP.

Ok FL guys, let's send Dan this post when he has 4' snow and it's around 2 deg up by home and we're still in the 80's

 

[shortykorte]

Don & Hugo

Those are nice stools. If you send me a round trip plane ticket, I'll personally deliver to you as my gift. Let me know if you need my address to send tickets to. LOL.

Craig, we had a cold snap here the other day when the storms were blowing through. It was 77*F and 90% humidity at noon. Almost too cold to go outside.

Dan most of us have been working, enjoying the Florida climate whereas one person has been saying "it's to hot, I wanna take a nap" G wiz, how many naps can one take? LMAO.

Man, that is a cold snap, I'm concerned that my thermometers are going to burn out the 8's and 9's as they never seem to change much.

Hell, I'll probably turn the air off for what you had there.

I forgot you're in North Florida.... LOL. I take nap every day the week and twice on Sunday. LOL.

I always visit here to get inspired and learn more about the greatest garages in the world.

I'll come back later, I see you're busy.

 

[shortykorte]

Andy, thanks for stopping in but I think you have my place mistaken with that guy with the sweet show truck and a caboose.

You better be careful posting that Texaco **** like that....Hugo & Don will be staking out the joint looking for a way in...

 

[oldironfarmer]

Are we in Holland?

10 years? I hope not but you might not be far of. It has only taken 6 yrs to fill the place up and generate 949 projects. They were operational for 9 years in my last shop.

This picture is for them since they spied the stools in one of the other photos. lol

Yesterday was a productive day (part 1). I was going to do an oil change on the Mrs. Car but my mom's stuff wouldn't let me pull in far enough to use lift. Off to the quickie lube. Took her car back, got my trailer so I could pick up mom's W/D from her now rental house. So where in the world our those supposed to go?

To make more room, time for these old fangle picture boxes to go to the recyclers.

You've heard "when pigs fly", how about when toolboxes fly? Time to put the crane to use.
I'm glad the crane works unlike Christine, the $4000 order picker.
Other things went up into the loft which allowed the W/D to fit along with the SL.
While in the cleaning, rearranging mode, I wanted to clean up this area. The big **** sign is blocking my cleaning and paint storage cabinet.

After (still more to do)
And the crane to the rescue again. This will be going to the swap meet in November.

Great progress. Is that a plush of a Noid I spot on that cabinet? Haven't seen him in years...

Bret

 

[cbacres]

Nice silver tool box behind the lift.

Just one question, what you going to do whe you fill that loft up? Lol.

 

[oldironfarmer]

You build on, of course.

But he'll have it all cleaned out before it's full.

Bret

Thank you. Yes that is a Noid. Funny story about that. My girlfriend at the time and myself were walking out of the California State Fair and there was a toss the softball in the milk can game. I diligently aimed and missed twice. Handed last ball to my girlfriend, she just tossed it and swish. I won a Noid!

It is a nice box. Thank you.

The loft, what Andy said. Only have three more totes to go up and I'm done. Then as time permits, I will start the purge process. No building on. I did have a pleasant surprise yesterday when visiting the new house. I checked out the attic space and there is probably a 8'x 40' attic deck. With that much space, 6+ holiday totes will leave the shop and go into the attic along with other stuff.

Part 2 of Saturday's done list.

I've had this new bin for several years and never decided how I wanted to use it. Couple of days ago the dim lightbulb turned on and I had a plan, small automotive parts.
As 1/2 Cup would say another project done and dusted.

While my wife help shuttle her stuff up into the loft, she "mentioned" the difficulty in stepping onto the ladder stairs. Putting it off long enough, I found a scrap 2x4 and mounted it to the joist.
This post does make it a lot better when traversing the stairs but the unfinished cap didn't feel good. In keeping with GJ rules, I broke out the router for a quick pass. Much better.

A few more small things were done so felt good about the day. My neighbor was installing a aftermarket radiator in his 56 custom and needed some lower brackets.

I cut some pieces with the portable bandsaw, bent a S curve in brackets and deburred the pieces with a 3m EXP wheel. I love that thing.
Also, as The FC Assistant Undersecretary of Safety, I thought it was time for another lesson in shop safety. Don't get in a hurry!!! Don't use dull blades!!!
Luckily it wasn't much more than a paper cut

Shorty, that is a pretty extreme way to cool off. Most of us just sweat. Hope you had some shoprags and duck tape handy.

 

[cbacres]

So it looks like Shorty is luring his wife up the hayloft

That's a hell of a big piece of paper! Hope your hand is ok. So are you going for the blood red look on your floor?

 

[oldironfarmer]

Ouch!

 

[Duker]

OK... is it just me or does the blood look like its giving back "the finger!" This might explain some of those answers I gave to the Rorschach tests in Psych class in college!

We can't leave you alone for a minute Shorty - do you have shares in an ambulance company?

 

[dlcwent]

What a ****** mess you've made there mate.

Dan, watch your language -- folks in Great Britain and the Commonwealth are reading this stuff.

And Stewart, after that paper cut opened up did you just keep pushing?
