I'm with you Kev
Every busy guy needs a couple of trailers. You never know when you might need one (I have 3 different ones)

The rolling hardware/parts bins organizer is great!

Thanks for stopping in DON. Yea DON never know when I might need to haul some thing that won't go well in the bed of the truck and just works out easier with the trailer.

Thanks for the nice comment, I think it will come in handy.

Thanks for stopping in MIKE. I gave it quite a bit of thought how I wanted to organize my nuts & bolts. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

[Kevkx125]

Hung up some plates for display.

Kev
you never know when a deal may pop up it's always good to have a trailer ready. Between me and the neighbor We have about 5 different kinds just in case.
I have been getting my plates together slowly and I need to hang some more up while I know where they are.

Toyed with my mt125 today I put fresh gas in it and checked for spark. It had spark so i gave it a few kicks and it started but couldn't keep it running ,so I pulled the carb and sprayed some 2+2 in the jets and passages put it back together and no luck so I pulled the carb again and checked the needle and seat. It won't hold pressure so I am going to have to order parts. I Fixed the batt. leads and tried charging the batt. but won't take so will have to get a new one.

 

[Kevkx125]

Bit of a bummer day in the garage. A thunder storm came through and brought a limb down and bent frame work on the carport. Hopefully only a minor set back already have a idea for the next roof.

 

[harley jim]

Kev
That kinda *****, I saw it on another thread. You'll be like the six million dollar man. We can rebuild it we have the technology. I have a guy coming in the morning to help get things done, one of the jobs is too thin some of the trees before I have the same problem.

Kevkx125,
That *****.
Hope you can get it repaired the way you want it.

My friend and his son came by today and helped me put my carport back together, putting a temporary roof on it using a blue tarp for now. I am on the look out for some steel roofing sheets to match the garage for it.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Nice work.

 

[andyaus]

Good job mate

 

[Kevkx125]

Good job mate

Nice work.

Thanks for the nice words Kay and andyaus, I am hoping I do not have any problems with it til I get to put the permanent roof on it

 

[harley jim]

That looks good Kev glad you got some help getting it back together.
I set up scaffolding in front of my shop today going to start on a porch on the front tomorrow.

Today my friend came over and helped me widen the shed opening so I can put my mower in there.

 

[Kevkx125]

went from this to this more room!!!

 

[TurboMustang370]

Always nice to have (or get back) that 'extra space'.

TM370 Thanks for stopping in. Ever since I built the garage my riding mower has taken up room in the garage. Now I just need to make a place for every thing in the shed and put it in its place.

 

[harley jim]

Kev
I swear I could put a roof over my whole place I think I would still run out of space. I had three mowers parked in here, one I sent to my bil the other two are eventually going in a lean to on the garden shed when I get to that project.
Shop space is good!

[Kevkx125]

Jim I feel like I have plenty of room, just need to keep every thing organized. Next project organize the shed.

 

[Kevkx125]

I put a coat of stain on the shed doors today and a new tarp on the carport

 

[kaymccampbell]

Isn't it about time to make that carport into a leanto?

 

[Kevkx125]

That was my original thought kay, but I think I should check with my township to see if I can add a permanent structure to the side of the building. I figured with the carport. if it wasn't allowed it would be easy to remove. My garage width just fits within my set backs.

 

[Kevkx125]

Picked up a harbor freight m/c lift.

 

[Kevkx125]

Worked on my honda mt 125 , got it running and took it for a ride.
