You'd think outside a town of 1600, the crime wouldn't be so bad.

It's not a Honda but.........

All these reviews, I was gonna say round......................

Yep, furnace fans. No, it's not. The insulation is there because right now the basement is heated and the main level is not. The subfloor is missing because in the 15 years it had a flat roof on the basement, it leaked enough to do serious damage to the 5/8 non T&G plywood that was there. I replace it all w/ 3/4 T&G, glued and screwed.

That wallpaper boarder is really you, Mac.

Promises, promises. :roll: HVAC guy was supposed to deliver the new furnace and water heater today, but it's 3pm and nothing yet. :???:

Nope. It looks just like it does in the pics. Just took the truss bracing pics this morning. When should I expect you? Waiting on my plumbing-HVAC man to get time to do the rough ins.

Yes, it is. I have a lot of control issues and being in the chair makes me face them every day. The upstairs has 10ft ceilings and the trusses extend out over the garage. But the garage floor is 2ft lower that the house floor. That made the garage walls 12ft tall. As you can see from the "Before" pic it has quite a warehouse look. I thought bringing down the scale by shorting it and bumping out the front helped a lot. Hobby. Like to do everything I can myself. Remember the control issues? Power blocks? One thing I've learned is construction nomenclature and codes are very regional. If your talking about blocking between the trusses, it's not required. I've got the tornado clips, I'm just a little too short to put them up............ I've got a couple of those fans. They move some serious air. Um, er, well............Shhhhhhhhhhh Is this the bracing you were looking for?

Long story I'll try to keep short. I bought an unfinished house on an incredible piece of property. Almost 7 acres, some wooded, over 1200ft of creek frontage, out in the sticks. The house sits 800ft off the road. No need for curtains on the windows. The house is a ranch w/ a walk out basement. The basement was finished in tired 70's decor. The main floor was dried in w/ ext. walls and roof but little else. The house had been just a basement for 15 years w/ a flat roof before the main level was framed up. Since I've been here, I've updated the basement so I don't feel like I'm living in a Shaft movie, and thoroughly changed the exterior. I added on in a couple places and moved the garage. The garage was quite an undertaking. I cut it loose from the house and moved it 10ft to the right as viewed from the ft of the house and cut 2ft off the bottom to make it shorter. I was just getting ready to start on the interior upstairs when I had the accident. A least this gave me the opportunity to revise my floor plan to accommodate the chair. Now the upstairs is being worked on by friends, volunteers, and myself. It's slow going but I hope to be living up there by spring some time. Pre accident I did everything myself except for the concrete flatwork. This is what it looked like when I started. Now..... In between.... Upstairs original.... Interior so far.....

Maybe he can sew up a nice valance for too. :roll:

(arrow up) LMAO! Looks good Joe.

I switched to 5w oil in the stock fork. The stock setup has too much rebound damping for me. Since this affect compression damping too, I raised the oil level 10mm. Seemed better to me, but maybe I was just hoping it was so that my work was not for nothing. :cool:

Those are pretty slick. Will something out of a CBR 600-900 work? Know anyone who has those bikes to try it? :wink:

Outside. The inside cut rough to dissipate the light. I got mine from Dennis Kirk.

That's fine. I wanted everyone to get a look.

Why not post for all to see? If they need to be hosted, send them to me and I'll get them up.

Yeah, but you ride the rears until the threads show. :shock:

If I'm understanding right the stove chimney is on the outside of the house while the fireplace one is inside? The outside one will be colder and always harder to get a updraft going. The cold, heavier air drops down the pipe. The "stack effect" from air escaping upstairs and the stove chimney being in the basement makes it worse.

The GenMar risers push the bars up 3/4'', so I figured that was safe. Track days, wheelies, ect. for 15,000 miles w/ no problems.

Those 1/10th quart bottles are hard to come by. :???: 4 quarts works fine, I just let the bottles drain really good.

:pointup: Heehee

They look nice. The weight pocket on these old windows can loose a lot of heat. The only problem w/ replacement windows is you end up w/ less glass.

No hurry. Just curious.

Got any pics yet?
