a moovin' and a groovin'

Nice Ian

evening all, hope you all had a great day. Just got back from the Padre game, they beat the Marlins 3-2, it was a good time and couldnt beat it with free tix at field level.

now if I can just decide if I should go to Colorado or not in a couple weeks for the Pikes Peak hillclimb.

Go Go Go I always wanted to go so go for me

Morning Ian, I thought they stopped the pikes peak races last year? I say do it if you can.

Aaron, race day is July 1st, so start looking for it to watch on TV. The Revenge Racing pro truck will be racing in it, thats why I am torn to go.

By the way, Have a great Saturday all!!!

Yeah thanks Ian, have a happy work day, what up with that...


just go to the Peak, got the chance, take it

evenin' all, hope your workday wasnt too bad ken

it was not tooo bad, only 9.5 hrs.....so are you packed and ready for the Peak

nope, I am demo'ing our deck and gazebo in the front yard today, got the roof and walls down, taking a break before I start on the floor.

Still undecided about the Peak, will talk to the crew tomorrow and see if it is worth going, and how much of the race I will actually be able to see

went to a Home show today, lots of gazebo's and spas to look at...could spend a lot of $$$$$$$ there

I hear that, I am gonna build our gazebo is stages, first a huge deck probably end up around 24' X 40' then the spa on that, then build the walls and roof after we figure out where we want everything

make sure you run the elect and plumb as needed....also figure out if you need gas out to the deck anywhere..

its funny, the elec that was ran out there before was only 3" underground, by code it is suppossed to be a minimum of 18". I am gonna end up probably running a 50A circuit for the spa, then 2 more 15A circuits, one for outlets and anther for lights. No gas lines needed.

Undecided on water, no options for drainage, so probably wont go that route.

well it looks like you got it covered, now you just need to giterdun

got a good start today, the dump trailer is full, so by tomorrow mid morning I will be back home with an empty trailer getting the rest out, should have pics up by tomorrow night.

here is an old pic of the gazebo taken last spring, but you can see it wasnt the nicest looking thing, but not all that bad, the new one will be 3-4 times its size, and the deck part should hopefully be done by mid to late July.

I can see a lot of treated wood in your future

treated wood? as in termite repellant? I was actually suprised, the gazebo was all redwood, and had ZERO termite damage to it. It had been there for quite some time.

The floor of the new one is gonna be that sythentic stuff, will use pressure treated in the footings (if I use posts, may just use concrete supports) then all the floor joists will be pressure treated, most likely 2X8's on 16" centers so it will hold the extra weight of the spa.

pressure treated, but sounds like you got a handle on it...take a lot of pics

will do, hopefully I will be gettin a bobcat next weekend and get the grading done

Morning guys and go Ian

morning Wes.

Hello everyone, have a great Monday.

Screw the bobcat, go test drive the Silencer so I can live vicariously through you! Hope everyone had a great start to the week.

get a loader and I will come down and run it for you, get a BIG one so we can get all the work done you want in a day or 2

damn I screwed that quote up, I was talking to ian about his bobcat and grading.

I wish I could go play in the dunes, but I promised Robin the deck and spa would be in by our birthday BBQ, since that isnt gonna happen, and she is insisting that I go to Colorado for the pikes peak challenge, I gotta get something done on it. I was cutting the fields until 9 tonight to try and get ahead a bit.

Morning All

morning all, unexpected day off for me...

Hey now that there is going to be a hot tub Erica and I will be out your way on the 14th of next month. Get that sucker hot and throw some tri tip on the barbie

Well Since you have a good excuse I will let it slide on not going out for the test drive of the silencer. Hope you had a good day off.

Wes was here

Happy hump day!!!

Wake Up!!!!

I'm up, I'm up...Geez

Have a great day all, I finally got my EPO collage framed and get to pick it up today, I am so excited!!!

Take a picture when you get it. I am curious to see what it looks like. Hope everyone has a great day.

Aaron

I will hang it up in a few and take a pic, it turned out awesome.

just for you Aaron

That is sooo fricking cool. Congrats.

Erica and I went and got another cabinet quote for the kitchen
It wasnt bad untill she said it will usually run 3-5k for installation. Holy chit that was damn near my entire appliance budget. Well we will keep shopping for this one.

Aaron

was it around $1K a cabinet plus install?, depending on how big your kitchen is, it normally takes 5-8 days to lay out and install, then all the finish trim and adjust on the last day.

For nicer cabs, hidden hinges, dovetail drawers, solid harwood face, plywood boxes, you could easily spend $20K-$25K in cabs alone. Then counter, faucets, lighting, floor, aint no thing to drop over $40K in a kitchen. I think the most expensive one we did, that was just a kitchen, no wall moves or anything special was right around $85K and $55K of that was cabs. and the kitchen wasnt that big either.

Morning Bro

morning all, happy Friday

Hope you are having a good day.

Our kitchen is a corridor style kitchen and we arent doing anything all that amazing. We went to Lowe's for the first quote and we will probably call a couple of smaller places to see what they can do.

Aaron

you mean galley style? bank of cabs on the right then another on the left, nothing between? Those are nice and easy, dont have to worry about corner cabs and walls not being square, etc. About how many cabs? 12 or so uppers and around 10 lowers? We could bang that out in a couple days and save you some serious $$$

My day wasnt bad, dogs to groomers, picked out a stereo system for the truck, picked up some furniture, drove all over SD county. then went to dinner with wifey, just got back about 1/2 hour ago.

now I am toying with the idea of getting up at the butt crack of before dawn and going to Glamis for 1/2 a day, decisions....decisions.
