Found this today at a tool sale. Guy had several items from Home Depot for 1/2 price or better. I paid $200 for this box. <a href="https://ibb.co/qsDh3PN"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/YkNJFqc/WIN-20191116-161520.jpg" alt="WIN-20191116-161520" border="0"></a> It was still in the box, but it must...

I'm in Frisco. My shop is in Sherman

Hey guys. I bought this vise at a swap meet for $10. I guess I was excited about the cheap price that I didn't give the vise a good look over before making the purchase. It turns out one of the jaw pads is missing so when the vise is closed all the way, there is about a 1/4" gap between the...

Made this wine rack for my daughter

I used decomposed granite. Before and after pics <a href="http://s234.photobucket.com/user/bparksntx/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0502_zpsgyo88zrm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/bparksntx/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0502_zpsgyo88zrm.jpg" border="0" alt="...

I have the Gladiator cabinets. Can't remember what I paid but I recently saw them on sale at Sears for $99. I think the sale is over now but that is the cheapest I have seen them. <a href="http://s234.photobucket.com/user/bparksntx/media/Garage/DSCN0781_zps8714cd9e.jpg.html"...

I've got a 60 foot run for the dryer and a 40 foot run for the range. My question is can I use 8-3 wire on both circuits? A 100 foot spool of 8-3 will cost about $120. If I use 10-3 for the dryer, I'll have to buy a 100 foot spool because the spools only come in 25, 50, or 100 foot lengths...

^^^^^ Awesome idea

I just had a new A/C system installed with heat pump. The installer told me I needed #6 & #8 wire. I want to pull the wires myself to save a little $$$ but I'm not sure which wire is for the A/C and which is for the heat. Any electricians out there can give me some guidance, I would appreciate it.

That get's us caught up for now. Working on sheetrock and it's going slow because it's just me (and sometime's the wife). See ya next time...

Septic system...

Forming and concrete for the patio and the garage door approaches...

Started framing the walls for the 800 square feet 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment.

A lot going on but I haven't been good at posting updates on GJ. Another short video showing rough in plumbing and concrete.

Well we accomplished a lot over the past week. Rather than uploading a ton of pics, I decided to create a video of the still shots. I took off work the first 2 days of construction so the first 20 or so pics are ones that I took. The rest of the pics were taken with my game camera...

Not much to report. Waiting on permits and other administrative stuff. Got the temporary meter installed And did some site excavation

Yes it can. Remember in my first post I mentioned there was a house about 100 yards from one of my property corners? I assumed the power company could easily extend a line from that house over to my property. Not so fast. There are high power transmission lines between my property and that...

This story begins about 15 months ago. I'm finally at the point of having something to share and write about. The posts will be slow but steady. Our plan is to build a 40X60X12 pole barn. 800 sq. ft. of the barn will be an apartment for weekend stays. We started with 11 acres of raw land. No...

I will be building a pole barn in the next couple of weeks. After the barn is built, I will finish out part of the barn into an apartment. I've seen others on this site do something similar. For those that have done something like this, did you frame and secure your walls directly to your pole...
