Holy **** Mark! That 3500 looks amazing! Thanks for being an example for us all. Lifted or lowered, no matter our age. And if need be we bag it so you we can get in comfortably at later stages in life. :)
What did the Mrs say about your truck? Im assuming at least an eye roll and maybe a smile.
Happy New Year to you and the misses. I hope you two are doing well.
The pantry remodel is really coming along and the van looks amazing. Do you think you could make it look more like the drawing? Especially the wheels. They don’t really need to spin do they? :)
The vette is going to be...
I found your home theatre thread on AVS from back in 2011. I’m really enjoying it and laughing to myself as the readers there begin to learn who you are and realize you really do go to extremes. They have no idea. I’m only on page two or three.
How’s the wood shop and kitchen cabinets coming...
The fence looks like its turning out nicely. Put the stucco on there and we'd never know. How's the woodshop coming along? Did you get your dust vac ducting going yet?
Looking forward to some pics of the van and watching the corvette's development.
:bounce:
Toolfool is correct about the duct sizing. Go as far as you can with 6” and avoid all those 90s with gentle sweeps. You’re shooting for maximum CFM and velocity both to get all the fine dust and large particles pulled out of the air and keep them from getting stuck in the system on the...
I like what you have going on here. I work in IT as a network engineer by day but on my time I've built a few large things out of wood like the patio roof on my last two houses. They are about 11.5 feet up at the peak and robust for sure. Now gearing up my garage for finer level work like...
" They only needed more money!!" Isn't that always the case with cloud services? Gah!
Thanks for providing us with quality entertainment. :) Looking forward to seeing the process and the finished results.
When I was 18 (mid 1990s) my first car was just like the Chevy van in your picture with the dog. Burnt orange, mag wheels with a 350. That thing was a beast. Thank you for bringing the memories back to life. I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing this van be built!
Welcome back Mark! You're an inspiration to us all. Ok, I'm really speaking for myself here. My wife and I are getting into the property investment game in part thanks to you and your family's legacy. Our kids (teenagers) will live a better life than us (mid 40s) but at least we're starting...
Awesome garage and beautiful home! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. I would probably just sheet rock the walls of the new garage. Maybe one wall or ceiling in planking. I wouldn’t want to darken it up too much since it’s also a workshop. Lighting was always a problem for me when...
A dyno... jebus. Wish I was in your circle of friends. I am way over in Oregon. I love cars and tinker too but would like some buddies to hang with and work with. My Duramax is heavily modded and great for towing the fifthwheel RV. On paper I should be at 550hp and around 1,000 torque. My...
