New garage time!

[sodamo]

Very nice

 

[Pixguy]

Gotta get my wasted tax dollars back somehow.

You've got a LONG ways to go then.

You've got a LONG ways to go then.

Painfully aware. But I'll take every penny i can get.

 

[fatjay]

Got the z brackets in. Finished putting all the panels down except the last ones. I need the 15' brake to break the last ones so that's on hold. Finished the j-channel on the front, put hte z brackets in to hold the vent cap on, then put the cap on. Caulked all around the z channel.

The scissor lift is still acting up. No smoke, but when I turn the key, I smell burning. So I put all the stuff on the lift, sent it up, then turned it off, and then climbed the scaffolding. Easily 15 trips up the scaffolding today, and i'm completely beat. Everything hurts. As soon as the roof is completely finished I'll pull the scissor lift into the garage and take it apart to see what's burning.

Sure is a nice roof, will last many, many years.

 

[dragoneggs]

What an ambitious DIY guy!

 

[fatjay]

Finished the roof finally. finished the overhang soffit. Missing a fascia piece, somewhere in the garage. I hate cutting soffit.

 

[deezler]

the giant green box returns!

 

[EddieWalker]

Looks good. I like the recessed lights!!!

 

[Pixguy]

I like it and would love to have it but I wouldn't want it next door.

If it was mine I wouldn't put it on my next door neighbor's place either

Nice work fatjay !!

Don't get me wrong skinnyjay(now) it looks great and you've done so much of it yourself, you should feel pleased with it.

Pixguy, I knew what you meant I was just having fun.

Skinnyjay, I sure wish you built that structure in my property. Dang it anyway. Very nice work.

 

[fatjay]

I wish I didn't have to build it so close to the neighbors. Fortunately it's next to his driveway and his house is behind me, as he has a flag lot.

My temporary electrical is about as rigged as it gets. I can't wait until I can get proper power to it.

 

[deezler]

Oh, dude. You could at least buy a $2 plastic junction box to house those wire nuts. One bump getting out of your truck and your ass could get zapped! lol

My own garage is still running on dual extension cords for 3 years now..... sigh. I've got the trench dug for primary, time to lay my cable.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I ran my barn on 2 or more extension cords for about a year. Boy was I glad to get power.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Still running my barn on an extension cord. Good thing LED lights don’t draw much.

 

[Boss 302]

Dude, that's a fine workshop that will serve you well for many years. I spend most of my days now in my shop either working on vehicles or equipment of some sort.

 

[goeduck]

My haybarn does not have power and never will.

 

[sodamo]

A bit strange maybe, but my tractor/utility shed houses all my off grid electric. The electrician ran 2 120 outlets and the 240 pump circuit when he did install. I’ve run everything else including lights off extension cords. But it has been on my list these past 14 years to add some real outlets.
