Just kidding! Glad you, Perk and the Hyster are all in one piece!

Ahhh cmon' :needpics:

I had a Atlas/Craftsman 6x18 given to me a number of years ago, complete with the countershaft speed reducer and the complete set of change gears. It had been left in a shed and the unpainted ways and other parts were covered in a light layer of rust. Twenty years later, I'm getting around to...

20 Years apart... same corner Current project is to cleaan that bay of the barn up to get another Class C parked in there.

I know all the GJ sharks smell blood, but the OP's up front about needing advise, how about letting up with the snark and help him a little.

July 18, 2006 When I went nuts... I could not get anyone to agree with me that the right hand door was not the same white as the center and left ones. I went back to the lumber company, they came out and looked, said they couldn't see it. I wasn't satisfied, they turned it over to their...

July 17,2006 Nice amount of room in front of the motorhome, unfortunately a bad thing already started. I cannot bring myself to dispose of good project material, especially good size stuff. That back wall of the barn was already collecting "leaners" and it's worse, much much worse 20 years...

The inner dual was flat. Like most RVs built in the last 50 years, the tire load ratings are viewed as a minor inconvenience, better left ignored. Thanks for asking :beer:

My folks had a few different vehicles while I was a kid. I vaguely remember the '48 Mercury that mom redid all the wood on (and I played "gas station" with a garden hose, to my dad's displeasure). A '51 baby blue Fordor; a white '54 Fordor (1st year Y Block that Dad got to practice his trade...

July 17, 2006 Mystery Solved: Why I was in a hurry to get the motorhome inside... I wanted a good place to jack it up and pull the driver side duals off. Looking closely at the previous pic, you can see it was leaving a double track on the right and pretty much a single track on the left. It...

July 8-17, 2006 Apron poured, cleanup complete, motorhome moved in. My work just starting - landscaping, power, shelving, overhead storage in the 16x40 area. Looking back, I'm surprised I put the coach inside as soon as I did, although there has never been any apparent damage to the concrete...

No arguments from here, but there was a period that the EZ-Locks were real POS's. Last few years, not so much..

There was a time when the E-Z Lock disks would leave the party with any lateral pressure. Somebody must have rewrote the bonding specs. You laugh, but trailer thieves don't. Easier to carry one of these around in a coat pocket than a 4 1/2" angle grinder. less obvious and just as effective. I...

July 7-8, 2006 Getting closer to completion. The last picture was on the 8th, they were starting to clean up. They still had the apron to pour and more cleanup, but they were finished on 7/10. I've always been happy with their work, to my knowledge, they only did one more after this one, I...

Mac, I've had good luck using air pressure rather than vacuum. Piece of a shop rag with twine tied around the center, yard blower or even just an air hose and you have to make sure you've got control of the end or it'll all be waiting for you at the far end. I've always figured that the friction...
