Things that happen in my garage

[TwoBytes]

Hey Thanks for all the comments and stopping by. I'd post some pictures but I'm having trouble with my laptop lately.

Must be time for a new laptop, maybe you and Andy can get a good deal for 2?



I don't post much, but I am keeping up.

No ice on windscreens here at the moment, but the 100 (F) degree heat is making the gum trees drop eucalyptus oil all over the cars! Yuk

 

[xtremek]

I hope everything's going well.

 

[BBChevro]

C'mon Dan, your neglecting your own thread (who would do such a thing? ...oh, yeah, ...me. ).

How are things going in your neck of the woods?

 

[Strouty]

I know he wants to update, he even said he has lots of pictures, but I am not spoiling the fun.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Hay Dan, Your last post on this thread was Jan 31. Where you hiding.

 

[Grumblebum]

He's moving the WOC around

[oldironfarmer]

Ha! I bet you're right. He decided he would rearrange it and get it right once and for all.

We may never hear from him again...

 

[Richard Cranium]

Last I heard was that they were moving their selves around. Some kind of spell was put on them.

 

[Craptain]

He's been busy ignoring his own thread while posting on a bunch of others. Different priorities I guess.

This may have to be voted the most active thread with no OP. He's even nudged out 1/2 Cup during his medical recovery.

Go Dan!! Wherever you are!

Come back Dan! Wherever you are!

He has dropped by the other day to say hi..

Why thanks to all of you guys.

I've no excuse for my absence other than I'm not mentally well (oh you all knew that)

So I'm in the process of building another garage. This one is for my personal stuff. I need the space in my work shop. Too much clutter. And I will post some pictures soon.

Thanks for all the posts in my absence, it almost makes me feel bad I've been gone for a while.

 

[BBChevro]

Well Dan, that means that you are going to have some very difficult decisions to make - like is the WOC staying in the "work shed" or moving to the "play shed" (not to mention, the GJ wall of fame)????

Good to have you back - you are back, aren't you?

Looking forward to lots of pics.

 

[oldironfarmer]

I'm tickled pink we have somehow made you feel bad while we were trying desperately to support you.

New garage is great news.

You know an "as you go, warts included" is warranted for this build.

Dan

Glad to see you sticking your head back up.

More power to you - whatever the ails are.

I haven't been around too much lately either - incredibly busy at work and on the home front (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)!

Let's see the progress on the new garage when you get going. Might even inspire me too.

Lyndon
Yep - that one!

 

[cbacres]

The poor WOC, just when they thought they were safe, staying in spot, here they go again, or worse, get spilt up

Go to hear from you Dan, look forward to your build.

 

[taumac]

OH NO!!! Now the WOC has gotten added to the curse is so much stronger. It’s now demanding a garage to live in. The wife finds Dan walking around at all hours of the night in a trance saying “ must build garage..... must build garage”. This does not look good. LMAO

 

[Richard Cranium]

new garage, but no size said, no pic offered. Was it really Dan.
or has the woc taken Dan hostage and has learned to type.

 

[PelicanPines]

WOC = Christine … I loved that movie.

New digs... we need pictures...

Think might be on to something here.

 

[oldironfarmer]

Maybe the WOC has just taken over Dan's brain and is calling the shots in it's own insidious way. WOC is going to build Taj Ma Dan, its own private tribute to itself.

Or maybe Dan's busy.

The WOF will stay in place for now,
Good to have you back - you are back, aren't you?

One never knows

They're coming.

Have every plan to do just that.

As good an excuse as mine (or any for that matter)

Now you have me thinking.

Are you speaking for personal experience???

You can never be sure can you?

That's all I got at this point guys. Now I'm waiting for the trusses to show up.

For some reason when I click on the link to the image it says it is invalid. Great to have you back and even if it is the WOC calling the shots now. I think we should all be afraid, the WOC has become self aware and is able to use computers. Skynet will not be stopped, just delayed.

[PelicanPines]

If you rearrange the WOC... it can speak different languages...

IT IS ALIVE !!! I tell you... IT IS ALIVE !!!

Yea.. your attachments are Invalid... they broke... no worky.

 

[dlcwent]

Sorry guys. I'll try again.

Forms set and ready for the pour





Plates down

I hope this works!!!

 

[53PontiacSD]

There you go. It worked that time.

Billy

 

[oldironfarmer]

Wow! That's really coming along.

You'll be close enough to run a propane line from the house for your new forge.

 

[PelicanPines]

As soon as the foundation is poured... It's a building...

Looking great.

 

[Richard Cranium]

looking good so far, keep posting.
Welcome back, you were missed. rich

 

[1/2 Cup]

Dan that is just awesome..

 

[Bob Heine]

Dan, good to see you back and the new garage looks wonderful.

 

[bolensboneyard]

Dan rises from the ashes in grand style! I will have to move to Maine. Contractors do not want to work on anything but huge projects here. I have been trying to get someone to cut my concrete floor for two years in order to get my lift in! Go Dan!

 

[dlcwent]

Well guys, this is as far as I've gotten on the new garage. The overhead doors are supposed to be here today. They've been on order since the first of September. I think someone dropped the ball 'cause there's nothing special about them and I can't believe the company I ordered them from is that far behind in filling their orders.

 

[Duker]

Looking good Dan! Keep those pics coming!

Looks like you are beating the snow and that is really all that matters.

Hope all is well otherwise.

 

[shortykorte]

How’d I miss this. Awesome.

I'm wondering, is this Dan posting, or the WOC? Is the WOC building itself a Taj Magarage? Why is the grass so green in late October? The WOC, although it is a life form, has no sense of schedule so went four months without posting.

What did you do with Dan?

 

[bolensboneyard]

Dan good to see you back. All the while I was thinking you were making so much money all you had time to do was sleep! Hope everything is well with you and yours. Bobby

 

[xtremek]

Did you escape captivity from the WoC? Glad to see you back. I hope everything else is good. You were missed.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Looking great Dan.
