Shed remodel, more room

Thanks guys, I hate to disappoint you all but remember I said she was looking for her phone, It was all over before she go it recorded.:LOL: I might run to Bomgaars today and pick up another wand. Sounds like I won't be going to work tomorrow because of the 8-12 inches of snow with 35 mph winds their predicting and I'd like to put the steel on. I might be power washing in a blizzard, but the temp isn't supposed to be too cold so I can handle a bit of snow. So far I've avoided getting the flu, don't know how yet, everyone around me is sick.:HMMM:

Be careful with this years flu guys. I know of one person around here (a 7 year old child) that died from it. Rumors say 2 or 3 more have died in the local hospitals. The child was infected with 2 different strains according to the autopsy reports. I didn't even know that was possible. My in-laws have had it and my wife and I had to ferry them to the doctor's office a couple of times. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get it.

That's so sad when I hear of little children dying from it.

Nice work Seth. LMFAO@your power washing rodeo. I can see your wife dying laughing trying to find her phone now. :LOL:

Man, that's so sad to hear a 7yr old passed on due to the flu. My daughter just turned 7 yesterday and I couldn't imagine loosing her. Especially to flu. I have heard that influenza A is nasty and spreading like wild fire. The flu shots do not protect against it either.

Seth, how's the weather up there? :LOL: Keep it all up there please!

Their doom's day prediction went a little south of us by Yankton SD. They got 14 inches with 30-40 mph wind. We only got 4-5. I still got a day off work though :toocool: My boss called me a 6:30 wondering what I was thinking, I told him I was staring out my window wondering if it's worth it to come in. I think he wanted a day off to cause he said if I got stuff to do at home ,I didn't need to come in. Of course It's not too hard for me to find work at home :LOL:

I got to try out my I beam earlier than expected. I sold my 348 to a guy in New Jersey who is going to put it in a 59 Impala. The beam had a hole cut in a spot already so I used my chain hoist to lift the motor and get it bolted on a pallet. I think the motor weighs around 600 lbs and the beam squatted only about 3/16 of an inch. I think we're good on roof support :) Hopefully put some tin on the ceiling and insulate it soon. Can you see the bow in the plywood in the background with this photo? Stupid phone.

I suspect you already thought of this, but if it ever becomes an issue, a couple of 4X4s cut to the right length and temporarily placed under beam can be used for peace of mind if you ever have to lift anything real heavy.

I seriously contemplated doing that on mine when I lifted the Hemi with the 46RH attached into the 37 Dodge. Fortunately my beam did fine, but I have a lot shorter span and was working towards one end of the beam.

Very nice Seth. At least the 348 is going far away. I'm glad you guys didn't get slammed by that storm.

I think the 348 is about as heavy as it will get for me, I'm not much of a big block guy. Your right though, it wouldn't take much to tap in a temporary support if needed.

We got the steel on the ceiling today. It's all power washed off and everything is going to get a new coat of paint. It was great getting rained on the whole time we were putting it up. I washed them off during the snow storm we had and they were still full of ice and snow. Do I dare prime and paint the steel with the same latex paint I'm using for the walls ? I think it would be ok for inside steel but not sure.

My wife left for a movie with her friends tonight so I had to fend for myself for supper.

The breakfast of champions! 8-)
