me? start a thread? oh no, after the last time of being accused of building a missile site - I'm not sure I can, again, handle all the federal agencies that would come calling in northern Idaho (bastards expect coffee and donuts every morning)

and really... of course, but at this moment it will be of a snow field.

As mentioned above, I'd love to see how you build a shop from scratch. Are you planning on starting a thread?

thanks!
Hmmm, i hadn't considered doing a thread. The delays are already making me crazy(er)
The excavator hasn't been started in a week, there is standing water and sloppy mud on the entire slope with more rain forecast for tomorrow.
I almost rolled the tractor today trying to carry logs in the slop. Sliding sideways down the hill loaded was no bueano!

I thought i was pressing my luck with a non project car mention in here.

I honestly don't even know what size it will be, i will make the determination once the site is cleared and leveled.

I'm pinched in by a large ledge/bedrock, so the depth into the hill will be less than i hopped. It's looking like i will be limited to gable end entry, not what i was hoping for.

Post it! Post it! Post it!

Very cool. I'm always interested in how people build a shop from scratch. Do we check here for updates?

Thanks!

I should have posted mine but I'm not sure BS was on the Interwebs yet. Being steel framed, it was different.

Greetings y'all

no updates on the truck, except its running on all 8 and it's tucked into storage.....waiting
We are OUT of VA. the property sold and we back in TN.


I've been waiting several weeks for an excavator to show up and start prepping the hillside for the new shop.
He showed up Tuesday afternoon and now it's raining what a mess. Oh well its progress.


a shot from yesterday before it started getting really muddy

Big Booty Judy gave the 'ol (partially wet sanded) C10 a ride to the muffler shop on Friday morning.
I didn't get the all finished call until 330.
As I feared, it's missing on a cylinder on the right side. Ironically, it's a lot easier to hear it with exhaust on
No time to look at why yet, my laptop with the tuning program wouldn't turn on, and I needed to finish packing for the Indiana trip.
Hmmmm, I guess I'll find out if it's spark or fuel next week.

I can't see us moving again. Unless it's into The Home and that means I'll be drooling on myself and probably won't notice where I'm living. Sure hope it never comes to that.

Here, Here !!

[DanStokes]

After 5 years here, I'm just getting settled in.
Wifey took a job in Lexington KY, so adios VA.
The bulk of my garbage here will go back to our place in TN.
We are shopping townhomes and small houses near her work in KY.
A new shop is in planning stages for TN.
I'm getting to old for this s***.

I won't say this out loud but my wife is going to a job up north - and fortunately the market is small enough that nothing is popping up immediately.... which means she gets cute little cottage (and I mean 432 square foot cottage) on the Lake while I stay here. If the job doesn't work out then I haven't moved :D OTOH, if she loves it, then I'm transition moving to commercial space under the aegis of my day job - and will store what's here, there in anticipation of the completion of the build....

with all of that said, I really do see this landing as our long term home. We were in Woodinville for 13 years, so another 13 and we're both well into retirement - and this home we're building there will accommodate that.


That said, I did look today and we need some questions answered.... we might offer on it with a longer closing and contingency because of it....

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

oh don't you do this too... tomorrow we submit an offer on some property in Northern Idaho, where we will build 2 dream houses and a shop... lord help me.

it's only 3 hours north.... should be easy. just like before.... you know, 2 years ago. I'm some kind of special.... smh.

Again??!! I thought you HAD the dream house and shop. But it would get you closer to an inexhaustible supply of spuds.
