Workspaces between 485 and 705 squarefeet.
Loving the fact I can run extension cords out to the gravel spot and weld out there. Something I never been able to do before.
simple little project to have a dedicated on board spare. Might go overkill and put two on when the money is a little more free.
now planning outdoor lights and an awning for the trailer while waiting for the replacement 500cc motor for my ATV. At the end of the day this trailer will just be a spot to hang out in when crappy weather hits out in the mountains when I get a truck camper.
Another great camping trip exploring and scoping out more campsites……stupid how the previous government created a place where very few go to into a provincial park. I will pay the 15$ a night as long I have a fire pit.
oh well rant over, came home with my new to me, top end refurbished and compression checked, 500cc motor for my Quad.

Nice upgrades on the trailer!
Got a lot of down time while on nightshift start up coverage so after a full 12 hours of watching Trailer Park Boys on double time.… I made sure to look in the garage for some home projects to do tonight.
first was cut the top off a 5 gallon VP Race Fuel can to use for beer can empties.
it’s been flap disced inside for no hand cuts. I probably will cover the top edge with split fuel line for extra measure.

More down time waiting for pipefitters fixing some failed pipes resulted in finishing off my very EXPENSIVE paperweight for the garage. Our Machinist did the slot work, I did the grinding, file and stone work on this piece of I beam I found at my moms place. rough estimate of 1800$ of work done to do this little project. Ain’t perfect but it will do for my garage.
What is its intended use? I'm assuming the paperweight comment was tongue in cheek.More down time waiting for pipefitters fixing some failed pipes resulted in finishing off my very EXPENSIVE paperweight for the garage.

I like the depleted beverage container. I have a similar VP jug, idea stolen thanks.
No problem, Justin, I love putting gearhead ideas into actual useful things to use.
got back a little on the sniper, now I have a battery bolted down in behind the seats. Yes I will have a 12v cooler onboard!
Now it’s the rest of the wiring to take care of, starting with a new starter solenoid on the firewall.

Might open the boxes today. Was rewarded for a great job as job steward for my millwright buddies at work. With a great crew like I have, I am proud to be their union representative on site.
myself I never been inclined to pay Milwaukee prices but with this ensemble, I got no problem adding onto the collection with some options Ridgid doesn’t offer.
i the clean shaven one with no hard hat on….

Well in my endeavour to getting the garage as clutterless I can I testfitted a spare 35” tire on my one ton…..
everywhere I read the tires I have on there are not to be bigger than the 35….yet they are…..16” rim won’t fit so that tire can be punted off. all of my cars and trucks here are 17” rim anyways!

finally replaced my dead 220v compressor with a more versatile 110v model on Cyber Monday at Canadian Tire. 399$ on sale, spent 200 got 40$ in Crappy tire money as well 10x on purchase price Crappy tire money. Jacked my account up from a measly 39$ to 107$ now. Halfway to a damn good Woods cooler! Plans are to make a Styrofoam insulated enclosure for it with my 220v plug rewired to be on the face and beer cooler above it.
Swedgelok fittings now free issue at work. I need to map out the new phase of evolution of my air system as I aint really been missing not having a working air compressor but that’s to change.
I will be taking back what I don’t use as I don’t need any more clutter.
Been tackling reworking my fuel system for a better gravity fed angle with the pump.
ball valves are for cutting Off the fuel for any work needed on this part, bonus are I got a little more foresight to never see this truck disappear from my possession, unless it’s by my choice.

Well day after I posted up about redoing my fuel lines….
I fired up the 357 Windsor for the first time in 15 years. Even the better half came out and had a drink with me. I was damn near in tears with happiness. Couldn’t run her for long without hooking up the transmission cooler lines first.
now she idles at 1050, a little high but I still got adjustments to make to timing and fuel still. Focusing on the little things now.

lowered the front of the Bronco 1.5 inches. Still quite capable flex wise.
that little air compressor does quite fine on the air over hydraulic engine crane.
just need to straighten out the bronco due to rear steer under that kinda flex And start back on my air lines in the garage. need to clean up the shop some more so when my battery cables come in for the truck I can get her in as well. Rather drive the truck to her brothers place in the city with all its room for presents etc next weekend.
Loose bolts found all tightened up, and been running the sniper’ed 351w a bit more. She runs healthy and smooth.
stole a power bar from the laundry room and organized my cordless battery compartment.
laying low now for the holidays once I clean up the garage for moms visit today.

Back on the air manifold system, have a hatred for air hose everywhere, electrical cords too!
got back on my new redesigned air system to eliminate hoses all over the shop. love how most of the lines will be hidden via window casing lines and beside tool boxes or cabinets.
today Is clamp them up high along the ceiling And cut all drops I have to the length desired.

Now with addition of a more versatile air compressor and the desire for a air manifold system….I needed to make it so I don’t have to listen to that compressor lol
wanted to move the beer fridge somewhere…..I still walk to the old spot by the door…..
still need to trim the front for a door and insulation. 220 plug will be moved out to the face of this enclosure too.

Just read through the whole thread... I thought that at was supposed to be running right after move in... 
It runs now, but got a lot of little nickel and dime things to do for me to say trail ready.
been fighting my welder for some time now.
new lead/trigger and a drive roller system fabled up with 4 little roller bearings. Time to get the other inner fender done and both in so I can get back on wiring and brakes.

Might be a little bit of couch time with the NASCAR Vegas race.
need to add in a little more steel to the apron and notch out more for the shock tower on the drivers side fenderskirt so the drivers side can be lowered at the back an inch or so and flattened out…But I am getting places to route stuff properly and mount accessories like an air compressor, etc.

got some rolls from costco now the better half talked some sense into me…. we all so much happier now with our back yard. Still need to dig down for gravel and sand to go in for drainage.
at least I can sit back in my drought resistant back yard and still get my green fiX this year.
