well pics will have to wait...I'm getting an error saying I don't have a "security token" and to contact the forum admin...anyone got any ideas?

Well time to resurrect this thread a little bit, been pretty busy with lots of stuff other than the building. Got married in early summer and couldn't get much work done in the dead of the summer because everything I touched would burn, even through gloves. I will post some more pics soon of...

I had a very productive weekend and the weather cooperated....it was cold but at least it was dry. Here is my current progress. I'm getting close to having the entire structural part of the frame erected. Then I'll be ready for insulation and sheeting. Losing this weekend for engagement...

Well I finally had a full day to continue working on my shop. It seems every chance I get the weather is bad, and I only have 30 min or so of daylight when I get home from work. But I finally feel like I'm making some progress and getting the hang of wrestling the beams around. I have to get...

superduty got tanked slapped by a trailer full of steel beams before being dragged off the side of the road by the load shifting on the trailer. I had a lot of tail weight on the trailer and hit a bump that broke a strap which shifted the load and caused the trailer to sway. I tried to speed...

I had to read this like three times just to even begin to believe this was a real post! It's extremely refreshing to see someone do something like this, it really is small things like this that can make such a large impact on someone else no matter what their situation. I would be ecstatic to...

Here's something else I've acquired to take up space in the garage, it was just too good a deal to pass up...the other go kart in the picture is my buddy's kart. I've driven it on practice days but now i have my own to race. It's an 07 italkart elite with a 125cc Parilla Leopard 2 stroke...

The shop is all transported to my house now, got a few beams vertical over the holiday, weather outlook for this week looks like it may slow down progress. More to come. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69089295@N05/sets/72157628209064735/

It's been a while since my last update, not a ton exciting happening, just sealing concrete and preparing for building erection. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69089295@N05/sets/72157628115392157/ Hopefully much more progress to come after the holidays since i have a few days off work...I warned...

Yep, the open wheel cars are Clemson formula cars from when I was on the team (07'-10'). Don't exactly consider cone dodging racing, but those cars are so fun to drive. I served as the manufacturing leader for the team for my first three years. I was also lucky enough to be the teams primary...

a few more...

sorry this took so long but I found a few pics on this computer from some of my racing....

im pretty sure the sweep on the 3" vent is sweeping the correct way (toward septic) what you may be seeing is the 4" cleanout. it is pointing upstream. there will be another cleanout above the septic as well.

Updates from Yesterday, Half the slab poured, raining today, will finish up on Monday! http://www.flickr.com/photos/69089295@N05/sets/72157627872021131/

I am def. excited about the upgrades to the shop. Looking forward to "treasure hunting" and acquiring tools and such for around the shop. Just looking for the light at the end of the tunnel right now though!

I'll dig up some pictures soon and post them, they are on my other computer

I do a little of any type of racing I can get involved with. Lots of asphalt roundy round (street stock car), some open wheel road course stuff (My favorite!), some karting, some mudding, no drag racing really (just not into straight line 10 sec runs, I like the wheel to wheel)

So I needed 48 3/4" bent anchor bolts....the local hardware store only had 44, the only other place I could find them was Fastenal.....Luckily they had 4 on the shelf. Unluckily they about gave me a heart attack when they told me the price! 3/4"-10 x 12" @ local hardware store: $3.50 ea (w/...
