Got room to build something?

It was back in 2017, but we built this for $5k. 2x6 forms with rebar for the concrete we had pumped in to the backyard, all the bricks, gravel, compactor, and building materials, including rollup steel door. No electric, but great for storing the SxS, Quad, Motos and all our extra ATV tires. Most people on here are pretty handy, so if my family could do it... No permit was required, even here in King County/Kent. It's 16x12, so just under the 200 sq foot max without permit.

 

That's a pretty cool shed that let's lots of light in.

 

Started trying to tweak this frame straight but that wasnt working out with brute force. So then i started chopping and now im here..not as clean as i wanted so going to start figuring out how to reattach it all decently then brace it further.

 

It's got some pretty epic scenery going over the passes on the North Cascades portion. I have driven over plenty of times in the summer and seen psychos on pedal bikes 40 miles from basically anything.

 

Lived in WA my whole life... never been through it... I need to fix that.

 

Very jealous.

At least once you get halfway it's all downhill..

 

I think I need to make a trip to Washington

 

Duh. But wait til my truck is fixed, ok?

 

Anybody use something like this for your riding gear or soft luggage to lock to your bike when you leave your bike for a bit? Seems like they're easy to cut, but is good for stopping the easy grab while walking past a bike.

 

That cable looks a bit thin. But a good idea, maybe this one?

O yeah, i get that it's thin. My take on it was it would just deter the person who walks by and tries to throw it under their arm and keep walking. If they actually have tools, it doesn't matter what cable I have, they could cut it. So trying to keep it light/small. And long enough can run through my jacket sleeve.

 

It escalated..

 

Looks similar to my snowboard lock. Enough to hopefully have someone keep looking, wouldn't rely on it anywhere questionable.

 

I'm pretty sure it is a snowboard lock. They've just started advertising them for moto stuff, too. Sell them at REI and on Revzilla at this point (i'd just pick up on Amazon, just noting they're selling them now for multi-use).

 

Have a friend 3D printing a knockoff Oinker oiling tool currently, $3 was easier to spend than $50!

 

Was out sick today and felt a bit better so went around on the tracer.

 

$50? ouch. only 19.99 on Amazon down here in the states.

 

I grabbed one for $20. I don't know anyone that 3D prints, but that's a great price

 

*cough cough*... you know... i'm not feeling too hot... maybe i'll be calling in sick tomorrow...

 

Sounds like a sudden case of NERD. Needed extra riding days.
