The post whore thread.

I flipped over to 9. She's the weather gal. Does nothing for me, but if she trips your trigger...

Their female anchor has an annoying voice. Very nasal.

So, you're saying I've got a chance. I'll send a well written email, that should do it.

The voice you mention is Liz Kotalik I think.

Did drop off the t-case tonight, and the powder coating should be done tomorrow or Wednesday.

Didn't hear back from the driveline shop though.

I wouldn't stress about the welding Irving. If you don't do it every day with different thickness and heat/speeds....you're not going to be great at it.

If your weld area is clean and you have enough heat and wire speed for your task, it will be strong enough. Welding is an art, and I wish I were better at it myself....I just don't do it often enough.

Thanks, I plan on welding a lot more this winter when I have time. I'm actually surprised that I actually welded something so soon.

Would a green barn with 4 post lift work?

Looking nice Jim

[Irving]

That barn roof requires a taller ladder than usual to get on. Now you'll have to access from the rake.

The pic looked good to me, good penetration it seemed.

When you get really confident about welding looking down at your work, you'll get pissed off when you try to weld up. It sucks with wire feed.

All of it is another skill to be happy about when you get it down and do it good.

Like everyone learning something new, I have fantasies of having some latent, untapped skill to develop. In reality, I just want to have serviceable welds so I can make more shit.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You very well may have that talent, and yes....it's nice to be able to make shit.

It's funny you guys are talking about a 'barndominium'. Was driving up from Florissant yesterday afternoon and I-25 was a mess. Decided to drive up Perry Park Road into Sedalia. Mentioned to the wife that I just saw a barn that had 2 satellite dishes on it. I had to wonder if they were renting rooms in the barn or something.

I think it is something that is increasing in popularity. I did a roof inspection on one a few years ago. That was a scary one because it needed a 40 ladder and I had to access from the rake. I'm sure I've posted a picture, but who knows if I can find it.
