Agreed. Not seeing anything related to profile or messages anywhere.

Any modifications to the XJ pump?

Bitchin.

Thanks for checking in, Jeremy. Good to hear you’re on the up and up even if it’s slow going.

Rain comes in from the west. I was watching the rain drops yesterday afternoon and the direction of the carport is perfect.

My brother and I got the carport roof on. I’ll need to figure some trim for filling space between the carport and the shed. Otherwise I suppose it’s doing its job. He also surprised me with a long running joke between us. I’ve got a thing for “garage eagles” and he recently bought a house that was beautifully adorned with this creature but didn’t care for it. Perfect!

Oof! Bit of cutting happening there.

Thanks guys! I’ll be insulating and finishing the same as I’ve done with the past two shops. I really like white pole barn tin on my walls because it’s super bright and easy to hose off. Might break this one up with some wainscoting.

Bath day!

My brother is coming out this week for a visit and he needed a place to stay. The house can get a bit cozy with its massive 478 sq ft stance so today I prepped the “guest quarters” It really needed it anyhow. The exterior construction is coming to an end. Makes me start thinking about bringing home my Eliminator.

I doubt it. The air is really just hazy with smoke. Haven’t noticed even so much as any soot or dust. Months ago he started putting up the railing extensions on the deck. I got word from the city that they weren’t happy about anything I was doing with my property. Apparently my shed is “blocking their view”... of my house?

Didn’t put too much effort into pictures this time as there’s so much smoke in the air with all the wildfires lately. The sky is just a haze. Everything smells. The siding is complete minus finishing the doors. I’ll cut panels and I think I’m deciding on white to match the other door. Roof panels for the carport should arrive this week too. I like finding little things like this so it’s a habit of mine to leave notes and things on projects when I do them. Fingers crossed I won’t need a reason to open this corner in the future. ... a keen eye will notice the sweet fort my a$$hole of a neighbor has “constructed” so they don’t have to look at reminders as to why their property values are going up.

Bingo.

Uh... what?

Looks great! How does the louvered screen mount?

How’s the condition of the tent after being wrapped up for so long? Mine hasn’t been open in four years now and I have some concerns.

Been following these guys for a long while now. They always have the latest and greatest in gear and toys! Admittedly some of their videos are a little corny but the content is there. Best video series of their in my opinion is their first Yukon trip. Kind of a dream of mine as well!

The carport is nearly done. It’ll need more bracing but I’m ready for an inspection and I’d like to hear it straight from the horses mouth as far as exactly what they want to see. ... and then it started raining. Roof panels are on their way for the carport. Really need to wrap up the rest of the siding next.

Truth. Things sneak up on all of us eventually. Glad I never manual swapped my Eliminator! Rowing gears is fun but age and life seems to always come out ahead when trying to figure “long term” vehicles.

Looking great!

Curious what the restroom situation was like. I understand it’s a nosey series of questions, but I also think it’s something most don’t think about when tracking out where they haven’t been. Easy to pop up porto-tent? Everyone dig their own hole? Community latrine? Bio bags in a bucket?

Not really and there probably won’t ever be. I’m not interested in paving down the hill, nor do I want to rake gravel back up each year. See, I’ve been renting a field trimmer every other year now to knock over the yard to let it all compost on itself and build up some top soil. Should it come the day that I’ve got a beautiful yard I think I’ll just live with a couple goat paths where tires line up. This shed isn’t intended for parking in and driving up and down each day. I’d like to make a carport up by the house for her car to park under, and I’m sure my CJ will remain happy enough parked under its tree.

Does anyone know the weight of four 9.5’ rough cut 6x12s? ... whatever the equivalent of three Advil PMs is. The height at the front of the carport obviously caught up to me with changing the direction of the pitch. Keep in mind that it’s only a 2.5/12. Still a big difference from front to back. The ceiling height will work out great for putting my air tanks at the rear and I’ll still have room for a full size truck backed in, a decent size car trailer, or whatever else might come along. No real plans for what might live there long term.
