That's a great piece. When I was graduating high school, my metal shop was sadly getting fazed out to make way for a "technology class" (what a sad day). They auctioned off all the tools. My dad bought a sheet metal hemmer, slip roll, and a 36" brake with moveable fingers, all for next to...

That's what I would do, especially since you are going steel and you need all your holes to line up perfectly. A good bit and a hammer drill, easy peasy.

I left about 6 feet of loft or so in the front for now, it just seems to be a catch all for things I don't want to deal with ha. I'm leaning towards leaving the roof pitched as it is just for the amount of demolition it would take to change it. I'd like to take it down a ways and slope it as...

Started some work on my old dilapidated shed. She needs a new roof and siding, but it needed a new doorway and header first. Front foundation was almost nonexistant after all these decades, so I framed and poured that first. Went a little wider on the doorway so my side by side or even my...

Does your phone need an update? I know I've had some wonky app based stuff before when I was behind on updates.

I value them as a shed here in PA basically. Unless they are finished out as living space like a camp. We value all sheds whether they are "moveable" or not. My argument is everything is moveable. I've seen houses moved down the street, but they are still taxable. We do not value travel...

Completely agree. I've gotten multiple offers for my jeep over the years, but my dad and I completely rebuilt every last bolt on it when I was in high school with some help from my grandfather when he was still with us. I'll never sell it regardless of the offer. I've sold guns and cars...

I agree, it just seemed to fit the bill of what the OP was looking for. It's definitely purpose built for only one task.

I follow a jeep guy on facebook that made is own single axle trailer/dolly of sorts. Hard mounted axle I believe. I can't remember who it is, I'll have to look it up, but I did save a picture of it for my future reference.

Fair enough. I was speaking of just my local government employment experience, but understood.

I have learned with the government that they love to step over dollars to pick up dimes. Ignoring recommendations almost always comes back to bite them in the end and usually at the detriment of taxpayers. We had individual department head meetings last week and I really wanted to tell them...

Did my registration yesterday on my ol jeep. $48 a year for the privilege on a vehicle I may put 500 miles a year on. Then you have to answer about 10 different questions of places you may want to donate extra money to. Gotta click the no circle on each one before you can move on and pay...

Couldn't agree more. Unless you work for the government like I do, and you suggest the perfect person to hire for your department, and your higher ups say no they're not the right fit, but your higher ups have no idea what it takes to run your department 🤡

I went with luan because it was cheap and one person manageable to put up. I was concerned with drooping as well, so I used 1x3 stripping to support. No issues so far, but either you're okay with that stripping look or you're not. It's not for everyone. I didn't think the materials list...

I don't even have to buy those. They magically appear all over my house and truck from my wife and daughter :LOL:
