Framework done. It was difficult by myself but went smooth.

Loft corner painted. Geez, that OSB drinks the paint. I guess I need to seal it first or something. Loft build starts today after "sleep from home" is done.

I have 7 of these, new. The one shown mounted is what it looks like lit up. They take T8 bulbs. They have rigid 'wire' triangle hangers hooked to the top. This is for local only, no shipping. $100 or best offer for all 7 of them.

Thanks. When people stop by and ask "who built it"... and I tell them I did, they look up, why up I dont know, and say wow. I am quite proud of it. Never built something like this and I knew I would have to do this myself if it was to be a reality. Im sorry my dad didnt get to see it happen but...

The only thing Im adding is a loft, or storage platform. Im going to build it like a deck, 4 posts, but it will attach to 2 walls in a corner. I have the insulation and wall panels up in that corner but still need to paint and retrieve the posts. I have all the framing wood already. No dream...

Not much progress as of late. Been coaching hockey and doing some needed car/truck maintenance as well as a laundry room remodel. Starting to get the loft corner going. Insulation in and putting up wall panels. Going with 7/16 OSB that will get painted white. Once the loft is done I can get a...

Its a customers 67 GTA. Its just out of the way for the boss right now. We are doing the same customers 68 CJ car and just had 2 other projects come in that will be ahead of the 67. I guess my place is his overflow spot for now. The other 2 are mine.

After looking at several of the builds in this forum, my stuff is so basic its funny. The only thing I can say about mine is I built it and its mine. Im still working on it so it will get 'better' but Im doing everything myself, meaning without help, so it takes longer as Im not a young man...

Ok, some updates. I have the ceiling done and the heater installed and... heating. Im in the middle of insulating the attic. I made an attic door at a point where I had a 4x4 panel that luckily enough, happened to be directly over where my storage loft will be. I assembled a couple of Lowes...

Thanks. Electrical inspection was Tuesday. Passed without issue. On to the ceiling. Put one row up yesterday. Even with the "scaffolding" I built, Its tough work. Also found out that a couple of my trusses are not 24 oc. Grrr. I marked them so I know when to expect a cut. Need to get a bit...

I have 100' of UDF 2-0/2-0/2-0/1ga aluminum service cable. This is 4 separate conductors twisted together. The 1ga is a yellow ground. I used this to run 300' supplying 100 amps and have no detectable voltage drop. Its now in a box instead of a huge spool and shipping will be extra. Local...

NA small block 427, C4... its been 9.60 @ 140. Its my first project. Refresh the engine and check everything else. Its been sitting for a few years. I was on Pinks Milan Dragway. I think its on the tube.

So, let me say this, I did have help with a few things. Setting the posts, pouring/finishing slab and roof trusses. Via hockey, I know a contractor and he helped me with these things. These are the bigs that I didnt want to screw up. EVERYTHING else, I did on my own with the occasional...
