Wow that is sad to hear, is a variance possible? Is there some reason why the setback needs to be 25'? Is the city planning to run a highway next to your house in the future or is this a historic right of way? If it's the former you probably want to think twice about putting too much money...

So yesterday was the proposed start date, is it possible that it got started on time? Are you exhausted and euphoric and haven't been able to upload the images of the glorious progress? Or is it delayed... GJrs want to know!

Wow, that was an epic set of videos. It looks like you got your money's worth out of that scissor lift. The video really shows how dedicated you were to the build. While you had some great help, the evidence shows that you were there the whole time and did most of the work. I love the look of...

Congrats on getting started, looking forward to see what's coming.

Thanks Jim, she was one of my mom's favorite models when we lived in England. Dad's was Raquel Welsh :cool: Dr. Crawford has a somewhat mixed message, where he warns about the use of advanced technology that help people use things they previously would not have qualified to use. But at the...

So the last piece I needed to finish before re-installing the self-rebuilt 4l60e in my 98 K1500 was to somehow un-stick the frozen front driveshaft. The rear yoke is supposed to be able to travel a few inches back and forth when the front axle moves up and down. This driveshaft may as well...

Nice term, the weird thing is I can still tell what each and every piece came off and how it came to be where it is. I can't necessarily tell you what its future use is but I just figure that inspiration just hasn't struck me yet. So far I am using pile management. I know what things are in...

So let's just skip forwards in time till about say August of 2021. The amount of life events, unforeseen occurrences, hiccups, triumphs and tragedies that have occurred in the past 14 years is only eclipsed by the amount of "treasures" that have gravitated into and around the shop. While the...

Hope your enjoying the beautiful hill country. I'm sure you have taken the time to make the run to Lukenbach since you are so close. Are you doing anything fun with your shop yet?

Done anything fun with your space yet? Hopefully it weathered the "snowpocalypse" of this year without damage. I'm out by Leon Springs on the NW side of town. Glad you got everything dried in before this year of unbearable moisture.

Here is a pretty good shot of the foundation just prior to pouring. You can see the channels for the beams and rim, the significant amount of bracing, the extensive use of rebar and the South Texas rebar mounts (Broken bricks) I can attest that some came from as far away as D'Hannis TX. In the...

I'm glad I'm not alone in my misuse of spaces. I was please with these guys, one of my ex-student/employee's dad was running the crew. Pleasure to work with and a fun guy to drink a beer and listen to construction war stories with. He's retired now but I think he did a great job on the place.

I guess before you see the current state of the shop you should probably get the back story. I wrote some of this back in the day so there is some confusion in some of the tenses in the wording... Having always wanted to have a place to work on projects, I finally built a shop. And much like...

After consulting with my buddy, he convinced me that a common issue on trucks like mine was the transfer case getting stuck between 2 and 4wd. In this state it would make a horrendous grinding / teeth skipping sound. I personally thought of it more as a metallic fan rubbing the shroud while...

Thanks for the welcome. This project is a little different than most. My DD is a 1998 K1500 given to me by my old college room mate as payment for driving his belongings to Idaho. I've had it for about 5 years and about 225K miles the transmission let loose on the way up my driveway. I...

I have been lurking on the Garage Journal for a while now, apparently almost 5 years. I see the amazing work, creativity, time and effort put into work spaces and projects. I have seen some ongoing marvels that bring joy and camaraderie to fellow GJers and I have seen some tragic events that...

After perusing through myriad of different work benches, it reminded me that I had actually made one myself. I went out to the garage to see if it was still there. I know where I left it, but somehow it has been buried by parts, projects, tools, and things I'm sure I still need. It was a...

Interesting, now all that is necessary is content

First attempt to post and add images etc. Things I am going to need to get the project done Money Tools Patience Understaning significant other Time
