i ont like it duude..:ugh2:

:ugh2::ugh2:

have a good day duudes...

Monday, you brazen harlot, back again for another beating?!

And good morning to all of you good gents, as well as EastPest and MsPint!

:hello:

I'z up. :yawn:

Getting ready for my weekly beatings. :icon14:

Was thinking of a footer with one row of block, 12 thick gravel bed inside, then capped with 8" 5000 psi concrete with rebar.

My parking area around the front of the house is 6" thick, 5000 psi concrete with rebar, sitting on 12" thick gravel bed. And that's 50 yards of concrete.

Debatable...

Mornin' folks!:hello:

:iagree:Me too.:shakes head:

:hello:

Let the beatings begin. :icon14:

Brad called off. I'm waiting to see what kind of chit storm I'm walking into. :shakes head:

I'm not sure how much loaded ammo I have, I haven't bothered counting. :ugh2:

I know for sure I have about 2k in 5.56, 1k in .45, about 500 in .308 and some in 380, 9, 357, 40, and a few other calibers. I need to clear the bench and build some more... :tup:

I'm going to the Dec 7th show in KC. :tup:

This year we are on one of the side sections off the floor. Floor seats are great, but when they do stuff at the back of the arena, it's hard to see it.... :eekdance:

In the past several days I've had several people tell me not to bother with the ATI damper. The tolerances are extremely tight (too tight, frankly, I'm told) and can sometimes make it damn near impossible to install on the crank. It's just a damper; it's not really prone to failure. So why bother I guess is the thinking...

Anyone else seen or heard similar things on the ATI dampers?

Kevin estimated $1200-1400 for engine work (oil galley gaskets and oil pump gears), but the estimate includes parts. I expect I'll spend closer to $1500 by the time I add in a few extra tasks for him while the front timing cover is off.

Gonna look to drop the Z off with him in a couple of months. Early Jan would be ideal, but the goal is to get that work done before my birthday in early Feb so I can take it out that week.

I'm not sure, but I think all the diagonal stuff is support until all the sides are up and he starts tying it all together. I think I'd have poured a 6" slab and bolted the sides to that. It would give me some support for a lift..... :confused:

I’m bout to get up (again), woke up around 7:15 & it was raining :shakes head: went back to bed...gonna try it again :ugh2:

Transition from couch to bed :icon17: :rofl2:

It's going to look like a garage :twocents:

I may get a couple hours to piddle outside before getting ready for work :tup:

:hello: Morning Folks

The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV
 

There’s no impact if your driveway heaves other than cosmetic. If your garage heaves if could have some major issues. Especially if it doesn’t displace evenly throughout.

On the design. I assume you are referring to footer interchangeably with what I’m calling chain wall. You are probably on the right path. Just remember there is such a thing as too much rebar. The concrete code has both a Amin and Amax for steel area in a slab.

I got seats straight back from the stage. Up a couple of rows. :tup:

sitting here just waiting to be walked out on my last day of work lol

Don't go quietly!!

That sucks.

Burger patty slap!

Chain wall, footer. Just about the same thing.

I park a 41,000 lb motor home On that 6" of concrete for the last 7 years. Knock on wood. No cracks so far. :tup:

meh, my boss is so mad about it she's trying to create a new position for me with higher pay to bring me back.

i said better make it a good bit higher lol

i get 9 weeks comp for it. not terrible.

Slap a female manager on the azz, and say it's been nice watching you. :rofl2:

With a floating slab, you shouldn’t have any issues unless you develop a void or something. That would likely come from poor construction and knowing you, you probably supervised so they wouldn’t do anything stupid.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

And that's how 9 weeks comp turns into zero.

You're walking out the door. What can they do to you. I've seen guys walking out with company property. :icon14:

About a month before I retired. I had a bunch of paperwork to fill out. Every time it asked what race. I wrote Alien-Hybrid. It got kicked back, and they wanted me to change it. Filled it out again with the same answer and turn it in. Got kicked back again. Do the same thing all over again. After the 3rd time. It went through. :rofl2:

Lunchtime :yum:

Hopefully rain has moved out for a while; about to raise 3rd section :ugh2:
