I'm going to try to buy a grader this construction season, I've had enough of their lackadaisical ways of back here. After 10 miles from the interstate they figure us "peasants" as they see it don't need services. Could net a $10k fine, but I'm going to "accidentally" drop the grader blade on...

Nothing better than to get a call from the wife saying she slid off the road in a snow storm. They redid the road awhile back as in slap stick job so if you get anywhere near the edge within a foot you lose it snow or dry. She got over for some arsehole, stopped and it started sliding sideways...

Snow storm came in last night, nice 4 inches on the ground, yep still winter...

I went even as far as orientating the house 15° towards the west from due south for more heat in the winter time based on our latitude lines. Radon system will be installed, thermal mass that the winter sun can hit inside the house and that's why it looks like a funnel in the front, gather much...

I have thought of that. Problem with a flat framed structure is nowhere for the wind to go except push equally on all windows/walls. Now look at the two buttresses on the side of the house, that creates what I would call truck bed effect, wind fills up the cavity (truck bed) area and any excess...

You can thank the wife for that one. She wanted a bay window to sit by to read so I took what materials I have on hand and designed it as such, just came out to larger than usual bay windows at 92 inches tall by 75 inches wide.

On the happy side of things.... I tossed Revit out the door, too cumbersome. Looks pretty sophisticated on Revit, but I can do just as much if not more damage on SketchUp for eighth of the price. Burned through about 80 gallons of diesel to do that, cheaper than paying a contractor.

I'm the dumpster fire that brings light to the darkness :lol:

That is how this whole problem came about. I applied to get it, called asking a question about well drilling and they didn't like I was doing so, so they dug up my well log I filed and my water rights. Must do 1 year apprenticeship with a licensed well driller in which one of the two is the head...

Of all the things I listed you sure hung onto that title, if you weren't guilty before, you sure are now.:lol: “People like me don’t have people. We are the people that people have.”

What a boring planet... No fairies, no elves, no mermaids, no dragons, no vampires, no werewolves. Just bills, stress, conspiracy theories, gossip and insufferable people.

Maybe I should name the mule I want to get Kawasaki :idunno

I do get somewhat tanned in the summer time, I don't get that dark.

I plan on buying a mule soon, no not a Kawasaki mule

Eh who needs snow tires anyhow. I drive year around with mixed service tires on my F450 and they never got me stuck. Those on the rear... These are on the front...

Sitting on the local auction block, wife encourages me to get it. She does have a point, she asked what is "YOURS" and not ours or the businesses that you have for a project. I couldn't think of a damn thing I think it fits me perfect. Just need a red heeler to ride on the back now on the good...

Went from upper 80's past few days to high in the mid 40's for the next few days with snow and rain til next week. I even got a full sun tan.

Thanks, I believe that with the evolution of building codes as they have done people will start turning to them. At one time they said to shove this much insulation in your walls for building codes for this area. They then said each time the new building codes came out to keep shoving more and...

Plus this And you got something that lasts you til the end of time... I have a few of these, don't fill past the 5 gallon mark on the fuel pump at a gas station or you will get an unpleasant surprise when you open it up. It works so well if you don't get any gas on the outside and if you do...
