Morning' everyone. What's on tap this hot ass weekend!

I'll be filling the little holes from the framing of the walls on our foundation just got poured and then damp proofing the outside before any backfilling and whatnot hopefully at the end of next week. Sounds like full construction will start first week of August. Trying to get the MIL in before winter so the guy whose taking over her house can get all settled too.

 

Sounds like perfect projects on a scorching hot day!

 

I'm connecting my second horn, figuring out where to mount my remote start module and modding my center console so my CB will fit where I want it.

 

This is why my Ford is a pavement princess. It’d be pretty useless on the trails up here, too long, really shitty turning radius and a suspension that doesn’t like to flex at all. Does awesome on the highway though!

First tow for the new truck, it got 12 mpg towing the camper and a solid hour of stop and go traffic. Straight highway, I bet I can do even better. Big improvement from the 7 I got with the gas model.

 

Got even better, met the contractor to make sure we were all on same page and realized they never broke off the rebar sticking out to the forms. So I had to knock all those off before I can fill the holes that are then created

wasn’t bad tho and I got them all in under an hour. Switching out the 02 sensor on my cat and then will fill the holes in the afternoon when the sun isn’t hitting it anymore!!

 

They've got 15% off on their site from the 4th but shipping blows them way up on cost. I can get a powder coated plate for less through RCI. SOS has a fixed rate of 150 for shipping. RCI is 35 bucks to ship.

 

Awesome!

Might be worth seeing if anyone else wants anything or sending an email asking. Cause hes in SC, its not that far

 

@jethro where's a good place to take the kayaks and take a dip around us. I'd like to avoid horrace

 

I haven’t checked in in a while but I have a question.


Does anybody think I will have any issues hauling 24 -12’ foot pieces of pressure treated decking in my 6 foot bed of my taco? It’s not a weight concern . with the 2 feet Of the tailgate the lumber won’t stick out too far off the back of the bed. I’m just not interested in a $65 shipment fee when I have a truck

 

Leave the tailgate up and put a cushion on the cab and strap them down.
I’ve transported a 40’ extension ladder like that.
How far ya going

 

I did 12 footers through my rear window in my short bed double cab a few months ago. I live in small town, wouldn’t have wanted to take it on the highway.

 

You’ll be fine, although with a 6’ bed, i’d keep the tailgate down and that way the wood is supported 8 of the 12’. If you’re really worried, rent a Uhaul flat bed trailer or the Home Depot truck for $20. The whole load should only weigh 600 lbs or so (maybe a little more if it’s big box store lumber because that shit is usually soaking wet)

 

I live 2 miles away so it shouldn’t be too bad. All ideas are helpful. Thanks

 

Loving these suckers

 

Is the 4 runner your ladies?

anyways great weekend to get the boats in, hope you guys had a good time!

 

Swift River is nice.

 

My brother has a 4r

 

Okay so all the inquiries about that is for him then I’m guessing. Thanks for catching me up to speed on your vehicles




Started the damp proofing today, got like 3/4 of the house done before I had to stop for some Meetings this morning. Will finish tomorrow.
