My Shop....

A few here may have known that I've been "trying" to get a shop built at
my house. The original plan was to be finished with it by now............
Oh well, that is not the case. After battling all summer to get my place
refinanced (so much Obama B/S regulations these days) at least that is
what the banks kept telling me. :banghead:
Besides my house, I have "0" debt and an 8.0 credit score.....so why so much
crap.......I can remember walking into a bank barefoot and walking out in less
than an hour with a check in my hand. Those days are gone.

ANYHOW.......Now I'm at the mercy of the weather....It has Rained, Rained,
Rained,....finally got the site work done.....Rain......wait for everything to dry
up.....get holes drilled and start to set poles.....Rain......set a few more poles
....Rain...... right now I have a 40' x 72' mud puddle with poles sticking out of
it. And what has it done this weekend?.......Rain!......

It's not going to be anything enormous....but big enough I can work on a
project or two with ease. I'll try to post some pics as things come along
and it starts to look like a shop.

Yeh, I know, we be in the same sort of shituation....we did get lucky for almost all last week, but every damn AM, it's touch and go....junkyards are so muddy, I come out looking like I drove in a mud bog competition.....damn nearly go totally soaked Saturday, pulling a S10 diffy with a friend.....

but at least I got the camper top sealed, so it's dry inside now....

my garage is so small I can barely work on one car in it if the other is outta there.....

my damn work bay up north was nearly the same size....

Hang in there man, sooner or later it's going to stop, after a hurry caine or two passes through....:D:crutches::friends:
 
Look at it on the bright side. Atleast you don't have tons of the white stuff coming in a couple months.

You do have a good point...;)
Though we did get between 4" to 5" last year and it lasted all of a day. :bounce:
 
This where we stand as of this evening.
Like I said earlier.....a big mud puddle with poles sticking out of it.
And we have more rain in the forecast...:cussing:

What is white stuff? I have heard of this before.:suspicious:

Yeah it's that slippery stuff, in your area it's mostly used for skating rinks.
Oh by the way, a long time friend of mine son's was drafted by the Anaheim's Ducks.

Nicolas Deschamps, thinks he has no 57. signed a 3 years contract last month.
He's 18 and discovering Cal.
Pretty cool.

Ok dont want to screw up the thread, sorry about that, sooo back to the garage.

How big is it going to be?
Looks like 2 sections.
