A lil note from the bird lake guy - your build looks GREAT - tuff going during the pandemic - but, great build haven't been on bird lake much this summer - how are your aunt and uncle doing with their bird lake build ??( the only true way I can see progress is from the water) tom

Pics after installation of a Wildfire XLT lift and their double wide - its only been 2 weeks of very limited use - they seem quite sturdy and robust - will update down the road (so to speak)

Within the past two weeks i had a wildfire double wide and an xlt installed in my pole barn. communication was excellent - even though they got super busy after the vice grip garage install both lifts are robust and sturdy - my buddy who owned a shop for 25+ years was impressed - he does not...

If you click on the pic, i should open into a larger pic (perhaps check & see if it opens in a 2nd browser window???) no updates to speak of - i used my hoist quite a bit the weekend to get some large speakers on to the loft - sweet and worked like a charm I haven't been up there as much this...

Haven't posted in a while so: Bought an ATV as my Christmas present and a Boss plow and a VERY handy leaf sweeper made by Ohio Steel products (works REALLY well - PITA to put together though!!) Also using a portion of the garage for my golf simulator Kitchen/oven exhaust is complete as well...

I have a 40 x 60 x 16 building that is a part time place. I have in floor heating using a Navien boiler and set-up for two zones (apt & shop) The apt is 550 sf and the shop is 1900. Spray foam insulation 2+ inches thick on all walls and cellulose on the ceiling to R38. temps are controlled using...

No worries Trav - i will get the brand of led lights we used on the inside and let you know. My electrician picked them out after i told him i wanted more light than i will ever need - my pics never do the actual lighting/brightness any justice as far as the outside lighting, i live in a VERY...

Congrats!!! That was a milestone for me!! Hope your pour goes well Sean

THAT project has been quite interesting to watch from the water!! Would love to learn more about their long term plans. Do they also own the lil grey house that was owned by a Toledo judge???

Concrete done!!!!......i am pretty much done with spending any more funds on this build (for now) The only two items that are on my $$$ radar are winter projects: 1) exhaust vent install over stove 2) sliding barn door (with glass) to separate shop from apartment The rest of the projects I...

Great place so far!! Nice job.......I am due west of you in Osseo (Hillsdale county)....I have noticed that most people LOVE pics....and will comment as they see fit. Keep up the great work, and as others have said, that's a beautiful piece of property you have!!!

Latest pics; retaining wall complete.....will have pics of the concrete pour next week.....I am done on the outside of the garage for now!!

Not too much happening on the inside of the pole barn this summer- getting ready to pour some concrete for the north side of the building; before i could do that, my contractor suggested adding a retaining wall Sooooooooooooooooo the retaining wall install will happen this week...65' wide x 3'...

Hi JD, YES...i am having my contractor install AC in the next few months when things slow down for him - it will be ducted thru the loft down into the apt - a bonus would be supplemental heat if needed. when i made the decision to live in the apartment (on the weekends/cuz its a 2nd home) it...

Installed the light kits for the ceiling fans this weekend... the scissor lift made that whole project almost effortless Grass is coming in pretty well - slowly but surely - next year i will have it professionally graded and landscaped - for now, just need to get some grass growing to avoid a...
