    Getting Started !!!!

    With the holidays, the rain, and the cold I haven't gotten a lot to show. Not to say things haven't been getting done just doesn't seem to be picture worthy. We did get the roll up door installed. We have started the brick work and it should be done by the weekend and then the siding can start...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Imade two of these from some short lenghts of tubing I've had for years. Not sure why it took me so long, they work great. I drilled a hole and then slotted it. Randall

Where the end comes from the end cap and the way it wraps around the the two top pullies (the white nylon one and the metal one). Here is the way I thought it would be but you can see that it...

    Getting Started !!!!

    I will take it that you are referring to the drawing. The two cars that you mention will be projects that will most likely be on rotisseries, so they will be able to move around on the casters. And the layout for the cars is pretty much a guess at this point.:headscrat Which part of OZ do you...

    Getting Started !!!!

    After the footer was done I had a header block put down, then started spreading out the three loads of gravel so I could start the rebar and wire. I had to cover up some drain lines. After this is done I can put in the floor!!! Randall

    Your right golfguy if you don't love it makes for a long day. The clay is great for a foundation but is hell on everything else. And with all the rain this summer it has been a mess. I hope to have it dried in and most of the outside done by Christmas. That way I can work on the in side as...
