Above 1200 Sq/FT Rebuilt after a small gas leak

[Jo Diesel]

Took over a full day to rewire what was melted

 

[Jo Diesel]

Finally got everything back together and everything works

 

[Jo Diesel]

The exhaust flange broke off at the turbo so I had to fix that and replace rest of exhaust. It used to dump under cab

 

[Jo Diesel]

Went to replace batteries and the tray was junk so I made a new one

 

[Jo Diesel]

Installed light over toilet and replaced rest of lights with LEDS

 

[xtremek]

Looks like you've been busy. Are you going to do the upholstery or have it done?

 

[Jo Diesel]

Installed holding tank. mark and drill holes. Remove tank. install grommets. Reinstall tank and complete plumbing and run vent through roof

 

[Jo Diesel]

I have a pair of grey leather seats our of a Suburban. I am going to see if I can adapt them to the seat bases in truck

 

[Jo Diesel]

Finally got around to building a work bench. started a new job and wanted my own table

 

[Jo Diesel]

Finally got to deliver the cabinets I made for my son

 

[Jo Diesel]

Made a new tap and die tray for my tool box at work

 

[matt_i]

Good looking weld bench, does it use T-bolts to trap in between the channels or are those more for C- or bar clamps?

 

[xtremek]

That table looks like it could hold up a tank. Very nice.

 

[Jo Diesel]

I can use the T bolts that I use on my mill and Welding clamps will slide right in the slots also. I plan on welding a plate to a welding clamp that I can bolt on also.

 

[Jo Diesel]

Started another project. Not in the shop

 

[Jo Diesel]

Have been wanting a sunroom since we built the house first beam went up with a pulley and rope to the skidsteer. This was me and my wife. Got really sketchy but we got it

 

[xtremek]

Looks like a fun project. It'll be a nice feature for the master bedroom, if I'm on the right page.

 

[Jo Diesel]

Since 1986 that door to the master has opened to nothing but air

 

[Jo Diesel]

Progress

 

[Jo Diesel]

So far this is just me and the wife

 

[Jo Diesel]

Took a lot longer than expected glass on the roof and the balcony going up

 

[Jo Diesel]

Didn't like how the roof supports look so I added a beam

 

[xtremek]

I think I saw a door open. Very cool. Looking forward to the rest of the pictures.

 

[Jo Diesel]

Been a long time since updates. got the stone veneer done. Still got railings on the balcony

 

[Jo Diesel]

Used the brick we had to do a patio and connected sidewalk

 

[Jo Diesel]

One more picture before we finished the stone

 

[Jo Diesel]

A major problem came up. plugged drain from the sink to floor drains down to sump in pit plugged.

 

[Jo Diesel]

Hooked a bladder to end of some pex tubing and went up from the sump pit and got clog to let go. Was sure I was going to be busting up concrete

 

[Jo Diesel]

The rust on the steel beams jacked the concrete around the pit. Got it all cleaned out so we can clean and paint the beams before patching concrete

 

[Jo Diesel]

New shop addition

 

[xtremek]

Looks like you've been pretty busy.

 

[Jo Diesel]

The busy part has been wheel bearings in the wife's car. I got her old CTS with a check engine light. Got to do timing chains. Following weekend transmission in my 05 Dodge with a Cummins. I hate working on my own vehicles. I work on big trucks for a fleet for a living

 

[Jo Diesel]

Got some holders with it and carbide inser6

I hear you on dealing with your own stuff. I turned a wrench professionally for a few years. With our fleet, 4 cars, 3 trucks, a X-over, 3 trailers, and the 8n, it seems like I've always got something to work on. Ugh.
