My buddy/body guard (lol) Carl, demo'd the old drywall ceiling & flat roofing members yesterday ...

Attached Image


Today, Greg & I nailed in some ceiling joists & did more blocking where needed. The room is only 10' long x 9' wide with 1/2" drywall going on the ceiling, so we could span it with 2x4s ...

Attached Image

Attached Image


Spur of the moment decision was made to build a cap over the bathroom area at 6' 6" AFF, offering about 20" of extra storage space above the cap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Attached Image


Got another wild hair up my ass - found an old 36" x 48" double sash window that my wife stripped a few years ago ... decided to demo all the old west facing windows and frame in a new jamb for this.

Attached Image


Dropped the window at a local door & sash company for an estimate to make the jamb for it - saving me a lot of time rather than trying to do it myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) The same company constructed my entry door unit and side window for the front porch remodel a couple years ago.

Attached Image


(EDIT): They are under new ownership and their prices have gone up - a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... watched some good videos on Youtube, so it looks like going to build the jamb myself after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)


Existing stucco and shear walls will get covered with Tyvek vapor barrier and horizontal wood siding. We decided to side the entire back of the house to make it all match.

Started building a 10'x16' "mobile" chicken coop on a boat trailer. My oldest son decided he wanted to try his hand at raising chickens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

We'll finish up this weekend. Yes, we got carried away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Can someone reference a thread or give me the basics about the 914 rear swing arm geometry? I'm using the Pontiac front bearing, hub and caliper and will build the swing arm to bolt to that (those) parts. I think it's about 10-15 degree so the camber changes as it moves and otherwise horizontal.

The chicken coop is cool. I assume you move it occasionally to have fresh ground for the garden? He could have his own noodle business.

Our Garden.

Posts are 3 feet down and bottom row of timbers have 2 ft rebar driven into the ground. Can't put a roof on it because then it would be a building and it's in the power co. right of way.

Lot's of Deer in this area. None have jumped the fence yet.

Been putting the finishing touches on my teardrop trailer. I just have some headliner material to install on the interior and then it’ll be ready. I built everything from scratch. Aluminum trailer and the body is all foam. The entire thing weighs 200-300 lbs. I built it to tow behind anything.




This looks awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've always liked the teardrop trailiers. Can you post some pics of the inside?

I reupholstered the patio chairs that we use out in front of the storage building.
It's storage now but I designed it with a sleeping loft. Long term, it'll become "The Casita" for weekend / short term guests.

Nice. How much acreage have you got there?



Cut, primed and painted more siding today. Also cut and installed the slats for the attic vent, matching the existing vent architecture. Hoping to finish wrapping with the moisture barrier and installing the remaining siding on the west side tomorrow ...
