I have been cleaning for a bit at the Quonset hut, going to have a load to take to the Salvage Garage this afternoon. There was more stuff that I had to deal with than I originally thought, lots of loose stuff here and there. I am kind of organizing things that are staying as well. While I have the forklift down here, I figure I should make good use of it. Before the ramp truck leaves, I need to bring it back up top. My list of to dos keeps getting longer, but this is something that I had to deal with, just wish it hadn’t been right at this exact moment.

I don’t think I have that in either of my books. What does the cover of that one say?
I am loaded, but not tied down completely yet. I have a few more straps to add, then off the the Salvage Garage, hopefully it won’t be too bad of a ride, my weight is definitely not balanced in an ideal way, but it is only 15 miles and I can go the back roads.

I will check, I think it was operator manual
I went through my table of contents and didn’t see any procedures like that.
I got everything unloaded and then loaded up some things that are going to my Buddy tomorrow. I wish I could work all day tomorrow, but I have almost an entire day of appointments, not enough time in between to get anything other than phone calls or a couple small errands done. I will start again tomorrow afternoon around 4:30.

I had enough time to figure out what I needed to get the beams loaded so that they can be unloaded easy. Then I fueled the truck up so it is ready to roll tomorrow morning. Now I am at my next round of appointments, then I am going to do a bit more clean up. After that I have to do some paperwork.

Different
One shown is more specific to cr60, etc (other books have some some similar systems so I keep them.)
I can look into getting scanned somewhere

After everything that has been going on lately, I decided to just setup the pump and transfer the water that I had. It is still pumping (probably take an hour). At least I figured out what happened to all the water, the chain on the toilet mechanism got tweaked around the flush valve and it was stuck open. Probably last thing I did before leaving was flush the toilet. It is fixed now. I am going to eat my lunch, a little late, but I am hungry.
Bit out of date, but I got ticked off by my toilet chain constantly causing issues and stumbled upon a solution from a plumbing forum - throw the chain in the trash and replace it with fishing line. I used 20lb test, tied it to the flap, looped it through the lever and back to the flap 2-3 times, then tied off the other end. Never going to break and no links to snag. Been trouble-free for 6+ months now.
Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Wood post and beam building at the SG location..... Can you one up the steel container castle guy on youtube????

Creosote beams give off carcinogenic fumes.
At least you can get a good chemical burn when you cut them!
I had a friend that used to work in a creosote treatment plant. He quit when the guy he rode to work with fell into the vat and didn't make it out!
In all seriousness, these days everything causes cancer. I will be replacing old creosote beams under the house at the Hill with these. Living up there it will be a race to see if the Radon or the Creosote gets me first.
I do not have a reaction to creosote like a lot of people do, my Dad gets a rash like poison ivy from it. By the time I am done with things it will be ventilated well enough that there shouldn't be a Radon or Creosote issue. I have seen houses that the entire floor joist system were coated in creosote, at least the beams I am dealing with are separated by the floor joists, also see "log" cabins made from railroad ties. I don't think I could handle that, these beams aren't nearly as fresh, so there isn't much odor left. I say that, but I used to walk the railroad tracks as a kid and I can remember the smell, frankly it is almost associated with good times. We used to jump off the RR bridge into the river for fun.

If anyone is interested in info about creosote, here is the EPA info. I highlighted a couple passages. Creosote and coal tar products are used in lots of things and the risk of getting cancer from some 75 year old beams is about as good as me getting a date with Kate Upton, and then, my GF would be the one to end me, not the creosote.
- Creosote poses cancer and non-cancer health risks of concern to workers in wood treatment facilities. EPA did not find health risks of concern for the general public, nor for workers who handle creosote-treated wood after application.
- Although creosote pesticide products are not available to homeowners, individuals may encounter reused creosote-treated wood in a residential setting. For example, creosote-treated railroad ties are sometimes recycled as landscaping timbers. Reuse of creosote-treated wood is not subject to regulation by EPA under pesticide laws.

Just so Mark_17 doesn’t think I have left anything out, I did also buy this sweet vintage warehouse door with flaking lead paint patina!
The beams are no joke, they were supposed to be 6” x 10”, in reality they are 6” x 11.5”. I think there were a dozen left, shorter lengths and he may want me to take the other wood that was there, I will take it all for sure.

So, if you're concerned about those beams... I will arrange transportation of them down here to Texas to ensure that they are stored properly in a warm, dry (DROUGHT!) environment where they can bake in the sun (haha) and support an appropriate structure.... just saying... lol.
Unfortunately, I can probably find more than a few uses for them.
I will admit, the warehouse door was a lot heavier than expected, I actually tweaked my back trying to lift a corner up to put a block under it. I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy and my brain didn't stop my body quick enough, so I failed to lift it on top of tweaking my back, gotta love it. I ended up using a pry bar to lift one edge and get a block under it, I am taking a minute to stretch my back before it seizes up on me. I had agreed to buy the door for $350 (has the flat bar track too) and the seller kept hounding me about the beams, he had originally told me $3k for all of them, but I wasn't interested, then it was $1500, still no bite, but when he said $900 for them, I went into evil capitalist mode and offered him a grand for the door and beams, two days later he said yes. So if you deduct the price of the door that I would have paid anyways, the beams were about $13 each and that is less than the going rate for one railroad tie. The ties are usually pretty bad compared to these beams too. There are some nails and some cracks, but I think they were well worth the money and effort. I will know how many I actually got on Thursday when I get back down there to pick them up. I know that there were at least 50 of them and then I might end up with the non treated posts as well as the thicker boards they used to set them on for fork clearance.

That looks like a fire door between the paint mixing and spray room in a body shop i managed a long time ago.

The door rocks, especially if you got the hanger to boot...
The door is eventually going to separate the stockroom from the main shop at the Salvage Garage. I had another door already, but the Vidmar Stak system has wider shelves and they wouldn't fit through the original door, they will fit through this one.
On top of all this, my new (two weeks old) credit card had another charge for an instacart subscription today, since it is a corporate account they were able to push it through with the old card number, now I have to get another new card. The card company and I are not friends right now, they kept asking me all the fraud questions and my answer was this is your fault, you let instacart push through a transaction with the old card info. I had just updated all my subscriptions and now I have to do it again, probably won't get the new card until Friday either.

I was off a bit, the beams under the house at the Hill are 7” by 8” and they are in the wrong way, 8” is on the width instead of the height. The new beams will really help make things rigid, I could probably just use one beam with the 11.5” side as the upright, but I don’t do things the easy way, so two of them would be even stronger.

Did your dad purchase the beams from you and willhe be paying you to install them? You are renting the property and you have said before you are not sure how things will shake out in the end.
If I don’t make a deal in the next two months, I will be vacating the Hill when my lease runs out in June of 2024, no work will be done until I have a written agreement that my lawyer OKs. I figured at the price of the beams, if they can’t be used at the Hill, they can either get sold or used elsewhere.
