Nice! I'm working on a 40x60 myself. I think I'll try to repost it to the proper forum here. I've already done much with OSB. Can somebody elaborate on 'skim coating'. Just topping compound, or what?

Ah, thanx! I learned something there too! Still can't understand why anybody would want that nasty city water? Modern seed production has made agriculture much more environmentally friendly. What's left of the fear that brought us lousy water from the cities? Here, they call it 'rural...

I'd consider getting a second opinion on your steel options. Not that I wouldn't go with the steel. Just that in a wooden building you're going to have deflections elsewhere and unless the W21x44 size is the cheapest option, there may be others, even if less rigid. That beam has only a 6-1/2"...

Yeah, I was really diggin that Pennsy/NYC ctr cupola cab! I could have had the Catawba Island(it's a penninsula) depot for free before it was torn down. The task of moving that gorgeoous building 35miles and across the Sandusky Bay was just too much. Got some of the spectacular architectural...

Why not wait until you have it pumped, and sprayed and pumped it out again yourslef? Then you can go in to determine it's actual condition If it's only a broken corner and you have no inspection issues requiring a solid unit installation, why replace if fixable? The leach field can be...

I'm known for nutty fixes. To raise the desk...You could try raising it with body bushings for a full frame car. The bshg nuts generally slip right into the bottom of the legs with the end caps removed. Or those legs are 1" square stock right? Pick up a foot of it at Lowe's along with some...

Great! You'd have plenty to cut off! The steel racks have Great strength. Get the ole Sawzall out!!!

I believe, Jersey Jim, is having trouble finding actual businesses remaining to do the work. On the HAMB there are many qualified and skilled fabricators who can no longer find employment in their field. Might try posting a want ad there for fab shops. Maybe some of these small guys would be...

I'm with Dog. Alum. or Fiberglass box van container. Check your local auction guide. 2nd down neighbor just picked up a 94 E-450 with slipping trans and 24' box for $600. He just parked the van, but you could recoup your investment by selling off teh parts and jsut keeping the box. Or try...

Id you're not in immediate hurry... Lowe's & HD redo their garden ctr racks every 3rd yr., by law supposedly. This stuff ends up in local scrap yards who then resell to gen. public. Try your scrap yards. They've generally still got uprights even after all the cross bars are gone. I missed out...

Alright, here's the info. Not a good plan elevation. I couldn't find the originals since I'm also renovating the Victorian home and am currently in the library:( So, I made a copy of one of my working prints still in the garage. I also scratched out a new rack detail. I drew it 5-times and...

A low nose Geep? Sorry, I come from NKP/NW country. We like our high noses Here!!! And they're All gone now. Have many pics of the last ones heading for scrap or rebuild in the late 80's. Now THEN would have been a great time to get a unit! When the ole RS-11's, RSD-12's, C-628's were...

Well thanx all! The barn sided 'office' is just a 9'-8"x10'0 glorified mud room for automobilia. I might actually use the desk sometime, but mostly it's a show-off room for keeping coldness out of the shop when using the end man-door. The sub-floor above it is 1x6's from the same corncrib I...

82 views and no reply. Don't worry, my skins pretty thick, like my head, if ya wanna say someting critical I welcome a chance to view another opinion and maybe adjust my thinking or construction. Or at least explain the idea behind what's done already. Here's some pics of how I cut out the...

Thanx guys! I've put a little of the progress on the Gen board under Rim Racks & a Second Floor. Adding more soon hoping to help some others or get advice on what I might have done different. The second floor seems pretty stout to me tho, so should be more inspirational than uh oh!:thumbup:
