WOW on the permit fees. $5500??

Hello to you. Twice!

You said you have a one stall garage.....with that limited space, I would not keep such a large machine. Sure, it's cool, and it's quality (with a good bit of resto time and expense), but not practical for your situation. I would either restore it and sell it, or sell it as-is. That decision...

Welcome from a fellow transplant to NC!

I like it.

Yup, it's a ratchet. I have a similar one around here somewhere.

Thanks. And, no, it shouldn't be an issue because the shop is not climate controlled either.

Well, it's nearly done. Thought I'd post a couple pics. I'm very satisfied with the results.

As I stated earlier, this stuff is awesome. It's sticks really well, and, although I haven't had it in place long, I fee it will last. The surface does not have to be prepared really well, either, which was nice for me, as the building was used, dirty, and rusty. I just wiped the area clean...

Just my 2 cents, but I have never changed one of these....and have never had a engine failure, or oil loss issue. If a few drops of oil is a concern, then change it every time. If not, and the threads in your plug, and pan, are good, it's not a serious issue in regard to oil loss. Just keep...

If water is such a huge problem, shouldn't you be trying to waterproof before doing other things? I have a arch metal building that I made mistakes with while building, and it had a lot of leaks. I used a roofing "tape" type product from Lowes that has really helped. If you start by fixing...

These wind systems (or solar, or ANYTHING) should not be as expensive as they are. One VERY important fact to remember about ANYTHING that is subsidized: It becomes more expensive. When an organization (government, insurance, etc.) pays pays for something, demand goes up. When demand goes...

This is a great "case in point" .....Filter love is based in nothing. Oil too.

All this talk about what is a good or what is a crappy oil filter kinda blows my mind. I'm 45 years old, have owned over 200 cars, and have never had an engine failure, not to mention one that could be attributed to a particular brand of oil filter. I've never had an oil filter explode. Never...

As far as the hybrids? I have a 12 year old Jetta diesel which gets up to 50 MPG highway (and averages 43 around town). It doesn't have an electric motor, environmentally destructive battery array's, and wasn't subsidized. These diesels have been getting similar mileage for over 30 years...

Wind energy is great. I love it. Solar? Love it too. The issue I have is, why did I (and the rest of you) just pay 80% of the cost of this installation (over 50K dollars)? Rebates and government credits don't happen in a vacuum. The supplier gets paid the full amount now, but the balance...

Ditto, but was not a Fram. Happened last summer on my neighbors pickup. This has never happened to me before, so it's somewhat rare, but probably closer to one in a thousand. :3gears:

$750 a month in taxes?? Are you kidding me? WHY does anyone live there? I live in a home in the same dollar range, and my taxes are not much more than that for the year! As far as the home the OP posted, I really love it! It seems to have a salt box look to it, along with a bit of Cape. I...

I think I'll be OK there. The well house is less than 10 ft. from the back of the building.

Thanks for the replies! 1Steve, yes, I plan to put an access door in that opening.
