If I can just figure out how the get the front of the upper rear deck to go all of the way down, then back up. The math is killing me. 28 degrees in the shop is not helping.

You got that right.

I'll be staying warm this weekend instead of trying to freeze my tail off out there.
Buuuuuurrrrrrr, what's the high this weekend...like 20..

Huh. Maybe my 1.8-car garage ain't so bad after all -- it's 82* F out right now, was out doing some wrenching in a t-shirt and shorts

Got up to 36 today. Feet never did warm up.

Need to stick some of those pocket hand warmers in your boots!

Keep at it!


And for gawd sakes man, get a heater.

Heating an noninsulated 1600 sq ft shop is no easy or cheap task

Yea... I guess that's true.

You could fit my entire house inside that shop and still have room to work on the semi.

'Course, here (inland of San Francisco) you'd have to insulate such a shop to keep the heat OUT, not in, so I'm still jealous ... easier to get warm than it is to cool off, IMO.

Yea... I guess that's true.

My shop is in same area and when it gets cold it gets COLD... one day I'll insulate, but for now I prefer to work when its 30deg or higher.

I know that sounds wussy to some of you northern folk, but cold tools sucks, and cold air from compressor sucks

Slight correction. It's 2600 square feet. 16 feet tall. All metal.

Oh Crap, I thought it was a 40x40. But yeah it big

Got more done today.

New upper deck rear mounts are done.

Cut old upper front mount to drop the upper deck onto the lower deck

Got to love the versatility of a come-a-long.

Yes, that is snow inside the building

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I think you gotta reeky roof....

 

[tRustyK5]

It probably rolled into the shop with the snow on it, and it just never melted.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Ridge has a vent cap. When it snows and blows. It snows inside too.

And I ran out of propane for the heater I point at me.

 

[63chevyll]

ok, its been over 10 days and we have had nicer weather,
Lets see this rig when you get some pics.

I know deadlines are coming.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Still watching...

 

[DEMON44]

Hopefully working up a storm.

A lot of little stuff. Wiring and stripping more crap off. It was dropped off Monday to get some seals changed. They found a plate that was cracked. Ordered one and the wrong one showed up. Just picked it up to wok on it more. Will post pictures tonight.

 

[DEMON44]

what plate? the cam plate?
