Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

That's the good stuff right there. Adorable wrinkle hounds

 

That’s a wide door

 

Door go Brrrrrrrr?

 

Dogs are the best thing in this world. Take all my money, and whatever else, just leave me the dogs.

 

This was my first official date with my wife...working this show...She was home from school on Christmas Break... "Wanna go to a show? I have all access..."

Weenie dog also warming up in the cold

 

It's massive. Also very tall. I haven't seen the home yet but it better have 9' or 10' ceilings or there's gonna be issues. lol

 

Put in a 480v 3 phase motor and let them know they have to buy some fancy phase converters which will need to be stored in an out-building.

 

see...Overachieve on those cabinets....get stuck with the "I don't know..does it feel like it's sticking?" door

 

It won't get that far. I was just on the manufactures site looking at the install specs. This thing needs 5 1/2" for the track. A normal pocket door is 2 1/4". So it won't work at all on an 8' ceiling. It will work with major framing modification with a 9' ceiling. It will work easily with a 10' ceiling. This is gonna be fun. Plus, it's gonna be snowing all day Monday and snowing HARD on Tues. I might just take a 4 day weekend. lol

 

Triple time for weather inconvenience, and also they'll need a diesel generator to run the phase converter now in case of a power outage. Can't have the the family not having access to their dining room they'll use twice a year.

Redundancy is expensive, but absolutely necessary.


Hello, my name is kairo, and my career is in value added sales.

 

It's not gonna stick. The track and wheel system is MASSIVE on this thing. 800lb rating. A normal pocket door has a 200lb rating. The track hangs off the header with sammy hangers connected to 3/8" all-thread. You use the all thread to dial it in perfectly level. It's a really cool system actually.

 

I leave my house the same time every day. If I get there 30 minutes late because of weather the homeowner gets billed for travel time. Monday is only gonna be about 8" but Tuesday they are talking 11-17". The home is up on Juniper which is one of the highest areas in Mammoth. I expect a lot more snow then 17" at that altitude. This 4 day weekend idea is sounding better and better. lol

 

Good thing you got 37" tires on the wheeling rig, eh?

If there's 2" of snow and a traffic accident on the way to wherever I need to be I just call it for the day. Not worth the risk to deal with the general public.

I also have no idea how to build pocket doors, so it's probably for the best.

 

This wheeling rig? Yeah, it ain't gonna make it anywhere just now. lol

 

I don't know if you've ever heard about this, but jeeps have solid front axles. They seem to hold up a bit better than IFS fronts, and if they do break, you're not welding around upper control arms.

Just something to consider for the future

 

I see some booger welding here too

 

I'll might just SAS this one. DANA 60 front, Ford 9 rear. Or I can just cut off the old coil bucket and weld a new one in. Or I can call my insurance and have them total it. Those are my options. lol

 

It was strong enough to break the coil bucket before the spindle gussets failed so I'm gonna say it's fine. lol

 

Or...and hear me out...Get a Jeep gladiator with a 44 rear and 44 front from the factory (and yah, i'll admit the front 44 is basically a 30 spline D30, but it holds up well enough for 35s)
