    will be front loaders.... buying them this weekend and want the base done before they deliver the machines..... no way I'd be able to get them up by myself.

    Corners and middle legs will be 4x4. "top" will be 2x4 frame - 2x4's on each side of 4x4 and another one in between. front legs will be fronted by a 2x6 to support the top, with another 2x4 on the side.

    or this one http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/73/d3/42/73d3423bc07ec5698a49ddb8c59b7603.jpg

    As others already said, tank up on water...lots of it.
    Couple years ago,I was sitting in the ready room at work at 6 am drinking my coffee when I got hit with one. I said wtf do I owe this pain to.
    Had no idea what it was but it humbles you pretty quick.
    They did an ultrasound on me and by that time it got into my bladder already.
    Pizzed it out and caught it in a coffee filter the next morning.
    Looked like a nasty little asteroid too.

    They say the pain is comparable to childbirth.Think I had twins that day.


    did I already say to tank up every day??

    Yes.....
    Just measure the height of a std basket.add 2 inches. That's your base platform. Cap it 270 degrees with a 2x2 and side it with ply. Make front ply door that flips up. Hides the baskets underneath.

    There's a difference....You WILL hear women saying they'll gladly have ANOTHER baby. You'll NEVER hear a man saying he'll gladly pass another kidney stone.

    Kind of shook up this morning. I LOVE birds. (Have 5 of my own!) Especially love the big raptors of any description. My wife and I have signed up to do volunteer work for a raptor rescue group. So this morning's events have quite an impact on me. I was on my way to work, just before 5AM, driving down a dark stretch of 4-lane hwy just outside of town when I see something appear in front of the truck......about a half second before it hits. A full grown adult Great Horned Owl......It hit the top edge of the grill, deflected up, then hit the windshield right in front of my face. It went over the truck and I lost it from my vision at that point. I stopped and got out. The owl was on the side of the road, sort of stumbling to right itself. These birds are deadly when threatened, so I started to approach slowly. It sort of hopped a couple feet, the took off flying. It may have been injured but not so severely it couldn't fly. Last sight I had of it, she was flying off in the darkness. I have to assume nature will take care of it's own. These birds have no natural predators except for man. I just never thought it would be THIS man....Hope she's OK.....This time of the year, she was probably out hunting to feed her young.

    people bashing dealer service departments here on another thread. i commented on how well my dealers serv. dept has taken care of me over the years even rebuilding the lower end of my scion with 185k on odometer for free. sadly people responded to that with disbelief and i had to respond in more detail. toyota stands behind it's product and i understand not everybody has positive experiences at dealerships. i personally don't care for my dealerships sales dept however continue to go there for service and purchases because of the good service i recieve. mike you may or may not want to check out that thread it may or may not piss you off sorry

    Careful it isn't too high for your washer drain pipe to fit right where it goes in the wall. Same with dryer vent too maybe.
