    Your boats winter pictures?

    Nice striper! My buddy and I went bass fishing on Jan 12, 2017 but didn't have any luck. This is him in my little Starcraft Kingfisher.

    Anybody know what this thing is?

    Well, it would have to be a mighty small tractor! :lol:

    Anybody know what this thing is?

    Found it while cleaning out my garage. Maybe some kind of tractor part?

    Some good stuff happening

    Yep, 100 amp panel and provision to use 240v at a later date. I have pix of the inside of the main panel before final connections and hookup to the meter. I was doing other stuff while my bud was working on the electric. After that got done, we were too busy and excited to bother with another...

    Some good stuff happening

    Cleanup and reorganization started! Gonna keep us busy for awhile. Then more KF work??? :lol: View of the taped LED lamp cords. View of the daisy chained lamps. Floor swept and tool chests rearranged. They'll be changed again. :rolleyes: View of only the 1100 lumen floodlights on...

    Some good stuff happening

    Front exterior "porch" and flood light fixtures installed! Digging the conduit trench further and deeper. Power connection at the meter. Lights on! :D

    Some good stuff happening

    Man what a mess! :lol: But then my bud arrived and made some more room by moving the KF outside! That room was needed to acommodate a scaffolding! Overhead conduit and boxes going in. Switches mounted. Getting there. Daisy chaining the lights. Using aluminum tape to...

    Some good stuff happening

    Let there be light! :D After a busy week, the electric installation in my garage is complete. We have the power! :rockon: There were some late nights getting it done, but it's done! We stayed up till 1am the other morning. A major feat for me, since I normally turn into a pumpkin after 8...

    I need home electrical help!

    Okay, so I don't know if there is a problem or not. My buddy installed the new main box but ran the extensions anyway. I'd thought he was going to run new wires but apparently that's not happening. Pic below. Is this okay? We're running 2 boxes with four 20 amp outlets each, total of 8...

    I need home electrical help!

    We stayed outside working on the garage until 1am last night. I still haven't updated my Garage project thread (link in my sig line) but I'll post these two pix here for reference. This is the original, upside down main box as it is right now. (I purchased a replacement this morning.) If we...

    I need home electrical help!

    My buddy is wiring up my steel garage. Not connected to power from the meter yet. Most of the work is done. Looks great. But, when he got over to the main breaker panel, he discovered that the box is upside down! I don't like it that way. If I buy a new box two of the black wires will be too...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Took the new range for a test drive this evening. Worked great!

    Some good stuff happening

    I've done a lot of grading on the west side of the building. The ground slopes quite a bit from west to east and I've had some serious water erosion issues. Finally got the grading done the other day. And this is what I have to fix as a result of the water erosion. :grumpy: I sure hope my...

    Some good stuff happening

    This is the barn style "porch light" which will be installed over the walk-thru door at the front of the building. And today I took delivery of 8 of these 4 foot long LED shop lights, each with an output of 4500 lumens. That'll put 36,000 lumens into the garage. That should brighten things...

    Some good stuff happening

    I have an update! I finally got started with the electric installation. Well, my young neighbor buddy is doing the work. The boy is the tool "go-fer" and I supervise! :lol: My bud is doing the work on an "as available" basis. So sometimes he's there and making progress and other times he's...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Here's my latest update on why I'm not getting any boat work done! :lol: I've been working on my garage project. Check my "good stuff" thread for the latest there. ;) However, I did make a decision on the boat stripping effort. I really don't want to keep using scrapers so I bought a...

    This Is Definitely Me

    I'm 64 and have lived lots of places. Frigidly cold (-20F) and blisteringly hot (+125F). Back in 1983 I went from +115F to -10F in less than 24 hours. I wasn't dressed for it either! :cool: I like it here although I wouldn't mind living in north Georgia, but it's too late for that now...

    Made it to Austin/Round rock, TX!! Need A Truck - Advice :)

    I have a 1995 F-150 with the 5.0L V8 and it really lacks low end torque. Get it above 2500 RPM and it does okay but it really isn't an ideal tow vehicle. The 5.4L would be a better choice. But mine is purty! :lol:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Hi guys. Sorry, I don't have boat work to report yet. But I'm still around! ;) :lol: I ended up back in the ER again last week. The good news is that the X-ray finally revealed the kidney stone. The bad news is that it's still in there and I have no idea when it will finally exit! :eek...
