Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Installed a woodgrain steering wheel in the 66 mustang I'm working on. Much better than the stock one, think I'm going to have to get another for my bronco.

My thoughts and prayers going to you Dale!
on the truck side of things, I did use my Longhorn yesterday to drag my 71 K20 project back to the stalled project area.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well, it was last Friday, but I drove it to buy some wood. A guy is selling off his wood shop because he's getting too old for the work. I hope that never happens to me. Anyway. He has lots of wood, but it's mostly short sections of wood floor. He made many projects from it, but for my purposes I'd've had to plane the flutes off the back sides and it would be too much work. I did end up buying a piece of ribbon sapele. 4/4 by 3" wide by 4' long. Didn't need the truck for that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
While it’s cooking fixed the exhaust on the Tacoma flange on the cat rotted away causing a slight leak and throwing a code. Company in Canada makes these .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday I picked up a bunch of seed pods from a locust tree and got the swamp cooler ready for summer.
Today I took delivery of a pickup load of unsplit firewood, mostly dry cedar with a little doug fir. Now I have something else to do!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Uncoiled and hooked up the long garden hose in the yard, then hosed mud off the 4runner and the Silverado. They're not clean still but probably a lot lighter
I just don't get the mud bogging on purpose thing anymore

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I missed some time so here is where I'm at with that place to move things from the building I'm moving to. I decided to extend it to the building, leaving room for the 'move'
I decided to build a floor to make more storage space, so put joists in and sheathed it. Dang plywood and OSB are just about $50 just for 1/2"! You can buy solid core maple veneer right next to it for the same price. Crazy. I bought T-111, which is fir, for $10 a sheet cheaper. Yesterday I did concrete work I'll get pictures of. I still need to install a ridge cap before I can start storing things up in the new attic. The style I like is bare galvanized and I paint it the red. I had scuffed them up and wiped down with vinegar the other evening, so I cleaned those up and got primer on them, too. Today I'll paint and if dry enough install. I think it's warm enough now. Seeya!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I haven't done anything yet. Not sure how I'll go about that. I intended it to be temporary, made to be dismantled and moved once the barn is moved. That t&g gable siding is on two panels I can unscrew from behind. I may keep it and if I do I'll get rid of the blocks and do it right. It needs sides now. I don't want permanent sides if it does stay, so maybe just heavy plastic. Gotta go paint

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I've got to build a new floor in the 12x16 addition where we tore out the old hot tub and rotten decking. The redwood was okay but all the joists were gone. What I salvaged is all short pieces. I already figured ply/osb and 2x6's are going to run about $700! Ply is only $4 more so to heck with OSB. I hadn't thought of putting T-111 upside down for a floor. Worst part is there is no sill as the wall was built right on the stem wall, so I've got to figure out some way to hold it up? Originally they built a little 2x4 wall about 12" high and that completely rotted out. So I'm thinking about some cinder blocks with the scrap redwood on top for spacers to get the right height - basically build a double plate of 4' long redwood 2x6 staggered like bricks with the concrete blocks about every four feet? There is about a 6" wide lip of the footer inside the stem wall (3 sides), plus about an 8'x8' concrete slab more or less in the middle that the hot tub was sitting on. Nothing about this is standard construction so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do it "right."

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Lumber prices are nuts right now. (And have been) I priced a 12x16 shed last spring at about $1500 for everything but the roof. Last week I priced it again at $2500 now for the same list of stuff(I already have all the wood siding so that’s not included) crazy. That’s me doing all the work.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You have to wonder what a prefab building would cost now.
I have been putting off re-siding my shop. It currently has 4x8 8"oc fir siding on it. I have been thinking of going with metal siding to put an end to painting. With these high lumber prices I imagine metal has gone up as well. So I don't know.
