    My Texas Dream Garage

    Hey you guys expecting any snow your way? I just noticed it looks like a blizzard outside here. Wind is blowing about 40 miles an hour and the snow flakes are huge, I doubt much will pile up. I guess the pecan harvest will have to wait, but Wow! I have always loved the snow.

    LOL....I think that could be said about most wives, mine swears it was in the fine print on our marrage license. Thanks Shaun, Did you get started on your electrical yet? Daughters basketball team dropped by unannounced, they had a 3 hour break between games and did not want to drive an hour...

    22x40 shop addition to Shipping container

    Probably a good idea to skip the "pit". Fumes tend to sink into them, fire is a bad thing when you are trapped under a car in a closed space. Not to mention carbon dioxide will also concentrate in them. Looks like a fun build, keep posting up!

    Here are some pics of the floor work I was talking about. Grout on the black goes down first then they clean the overage off the white, tape and put down the white grout. We are going to clean up the floor tomorrow so we can seal the grout, should look much better than in this picture.

    LOL...The farming side has been pretty good the last few years. However I have done better on the otherside, buying and shelling others pecans. Also do some realestate developing, farming houses so to speak. The economy really hasnt affected us there either...yet. So I guess you could say I...

    I still owe you the cleaning plant pics, when its running it really does look like a Dirty Jobs episode. Removing the black husk creats a really acidic fine dust. We have a lot of exhaust fans but when the breeze is wrong it and still get bad. Soda shop furniture is going to drag out until...

    Now we're talking! Got all of the race deck but the cuts around the lift in and down. Was too excited about the cabinets to take the time to get them cut on Sunday. Also got if the Moduline cabinets, they are all installed now but I only have a pic of the short wall. I will try to get a couple...

    LOL that picture was taken early in the morning, there was still some dew on the leaves. When it gets dry it is a real dust maker. The leaves go thru the fan so it shreads them. If the wind dies, you quite literly can't see your own feet within about 50" of the discharge side of a harvester.

    That is exactly correct, they are plumbed so the front ones run in forward and the rear in reverse. The ones on the steering tire rotate with the tire, amazing how many pecans they save.

    Hey Shean, I have not forgotten about your request for some pics of the pecan harvesting equipment. We are harvesting so I figured action shots would make a lot more sense. In the pictures below you can see the sweepers putting all of the leaves and pecans into windrows, the harvestors pick...
