Colorado B.S. Thread

Speaking of Cocaine and Thinking...

 

I forget who I was getting the contact info for the super cheap SC for... maybe @JasonLee ? But he finally got back to me...

 

Yep that was me. Thanks for following up.

 

If they forecast a big storm.. Don't worry about it. If they forecast a dusting... Hunker down for a blizzard.

Edit... And any forecast will mean gridlock on any roadway from 5a-8p on the front range.

 

My first winter here (5 years ago) it didnt matter if there was 2' on the ground, no one was late to work.

Now, if there is an inch, everyone is 2 hours late.

 

Yep, and this one will be bad as all the zero treadders discover all that fun on our Hwy's

 

Air down

 

Chop the top

 

Y'all know the chain laws changed right? If they actually enforce it this year, maybe I-70 will be a tiny bit less of a shit show...

That and the "season" started earlier this year - September 1st. 4WD, AWD, snow tires, chains required from Sept. - June

 

I think @CharlieCafe is the concrete expert here

 

That’s only certain parts of I-70.
And they only go into affect as chain laws go into affect.

aka when semis have to chain up cars are required to be ^ or chained up also.

there is also the last ditch effort (law16) or somthing like that where vehicles HAVE to be awd/4wd with chains or snow tires to travel. But that’s super rare and last step before they close the road

 

The most famous CO TW moment in history. I thought @Stig was standing right there when this all went down?

 

He was. I was about 2 feet behind him at the top also

 

Yeah, happened to be grading the lz

 

Agree with Marty on this. Garage slab should be "floating". I suspect it would cost more for excavation to go deeper plus reframing & new door than it would to move the header up(if you have room) with a new door.
I don't think they use pre-tesion slabs up here, so that should help with cost of removal/replacement of the existing slab at least.

 

you would probably also need to cut the foundation wall down at the front of the garage to lower the slab. If it is a true slab on grade, it should be separated from the foundation walls with slip joints to allow movement, but may be thickened and tied to the front wall with rebar where you drive into garage.

 

Any guesses what these fit? They were in the backseat of the new truck but definitely do not fit it

 

Looks like a minivan or Honda Fit. Something with flip down/forward rear seats with sliders.
