That's about 200k just for concrete. Figure at least double that for labor and equipment, and the road would still would need a gravel base. My wife would have to keep working or I'd have to go back to work. I think I can live with just gravel.
Like I said, hope you were sitting down....
Are you a notary, or ordained? I'm actually from a long line of southern baptist preachers. My great grandfather was president of the southern Babtist convention, and both grandfather and father were preachers. I personally am just your run of the mill heathen..... I got ordained thru the universalist church so I could marry my son and his first and only girlfriend.
Nice welding and community building. Still sucks that yout have to do it though.Have been busy building some burglar proofing for the neighbour, the guy that was doing it got paid and left without completing the work, so some neighbourly good will helping to complete the job at minimal extra expence, have been down for about 2 weeks with a case of the common bloody cold, runny nose like niagra falls and a bark like a junkyard dog, first one in 5 years though.
That's taking it easy? Your shop is coming along nice.
I just remembered that I have a gravel pit on my property. I used some pit run out of it earlier this spring to fill in a couple low places on the new driveway. My long range plan's are to build a classifier screen to separate it down to about 2" minus for future use on the road. That little project will have to wait until next spring.
That's one thing I'll need to do as well, raise the level of the drive there. The shop is elevated about an average of three feet. It would be nice to be able to back a truck or trailer right up to it.
I meant to have the fall garden tilled and planted by now. This darn building is kicking my butt! Once the roof is on I can slow down and get back to other things too.
Nice looking work. Here in the states they'd make you put in an emergency release for fire escape. I've never seen the mechanism, but it allows you to release the grate from the inside only.Burglar Proofing all done and the neighbour is so happy he wants me to build him the gate for his electric fencing (Normal Price)
I dont like the way i had to fasten these to the wall, i would prefer to drill right through the wall and use the same 12mm roundbar rod with a recessed square plate at the back, all welded, the release machanism you are talking about is done the same way with a spingloaded splitpin through the rod on the inside, basically the same as cars bonnet clip.
Sounds about right
. We use the human trap and then take them down the road to release. . . just got to make sure it is over 10 miles or they will find there way back home!! I wont let hunny shoot them. Possums are a different story though.
We caught one here that fell into a garbage can and couldn't get back out. He hissed and threatened like mad when we were looking at him in there. I had always thought they were slow creatures. When I turned the can on its side I was amazed at how fast that critter hauled it out of there. The little guys are so ugly, snaggly toothed and scruffy, that there almost kind of cute.
