Tumbling 45 ACP brass, picking up Hurricane Michael debris on my place as I have been doing my job adjusting Hurricane Michael claims before doing my crap but all is good
What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2019]

Recon trip to the Boise Roadster show this morning. Plenty of nice cars but not much really grabbed me. Probably my favorite because, "Eff it, I got cash to burn and a pile of oddball spare parts".
Full size belly tanker with 1.5 horsepower. Pointless and incredible.

Rolled the 80 K10 into the garage for some mission creep repairs. I was going to replace the axle u-joints. That turned into axle u-joints, spindle seals and the thin metal plates on the axles those seals ride on, all four ball joints, inner axle seals, diff bearings, pinion bearings crush sleeve and seal and tie rod ends...…. The local pick and pull offered up some nice warn hubs with metal dials to replace the ones with red plastic dials and the FERD logo. The scrap gods have smiled upon me, our mechanic in the shop decided to clean house and threw a bunch of copper wire on a spool into the dumpster along with a bunch of brass pieces, I have no shame in dumpster diving and taking said items to the scrapyard the other day brought me a nice $295 hit. So far this year I have about $700 bucks from the scrapmetal fund so the K10 is getting a 4" rough country lift with 4 new springs and shocks.
If your house is smaller than 2600sq/ft then yes, it is indeed bigger. That's 50'x52' for the typical shop crowd. We lived In a tiny house for 15 years. Could fit the house and it's attached single car garage in this garage 2.5 times. When I say that I'm building this house, it's no joke. Not subbing stuff out, literally swinging hammer and packing boards in order to afford something this nice. Wouldn't be able to make it happen without the huge amounts of help from both sides of our family. Eternally grateful and humbling to have a family like this.That garage is bigger than my house!!
Did the gable end and a ton more sheeting today. Ready to go back to work to get a break from this! Also finished sheeting the other partially sheeted wall in the pics yesterday but didn't take a pic.
Just trusses, It has a 12' ceiling. I should have gone with a lower pitch roof but it's a little late for that! There is a huge open space in the house that I could build a bonus room in but that's a project for later if I decide that 3400sq/ft is somehow inadequate.
Gotcha. My builder's son plans to build my same floor plan for himself but add a bonus room above the garage. Also plans to go 4' wider through the master suite. That would take it to 5800' with the same size basement. Should be adequate for 2 people.
Mine is 2600' finished living space. I may never get around to finishing the basement.

Along with all the other unfinished projects going on the cab of the 67 is ready to go back on the frame finally.
The 3400sq/ft is the house part. Shop is 2600. The total footprint of the project is giant. Including the wrap around porch and the garage skirt the place is 8398sq/ft.
Still hard to wrap my head around that number.
