KILLER F250 buddy. Thanks for swinging by and letting me take her for a rip

 

[fourtrax]

We'll have had a few distractions as of late but, Garrett and I started back on the shop today. Will hit it again tomorrow if not too sore. Got a good part of the first two rows done.

Hey Eric - I'm in the market for a lift. PM me if you've got a good source for that Atlas. Did you install it yourself?

Thanks!

@fourtrax
Couple of questions:
Did you add any sealant at the exterior base where the concrete sticks out a bit to keep water from seeping in?
Who did your garage door?

Thanks

 

[fourtrax]

they used sealant between the metal frame and the concrete. I am not sure about sealant on the exterior edge. but, they capped the exterior with flashing so it is not exposed.

as for the doors.

[SFROMAN]

Looks Awesome. Really should come by and admire the new shop.

I am dreading having to do the same thing in my garage but really want to rewire it first before I do that.

 

[fourtrax]

your always welcome.

 

[S4Cruiser]

That is some badass shelving.

 

[fourtrax]

[GLTHFJ60]

Looking great my man

pretty crazy they printed a website on every sheet of particle board.

Did you mount the junction boxes with sheet metal screws?

That’s OSB.

 

[onemanarmy]

Ha. Yea, OSB is what I meant

 

[fourtrax]

[tstepp920]

Wow! Eric you have been working hard since I stopped by. I'm even more jealous.

 

[fourtrax]

ok so i finally fired up the heated floor while i was working on the Ford. I let it run for the month of January I ended up with the thermostat on the wall set at 56 (no floor probe) it was very comfortable for me I would be down to a short sleeve shirt in about 15-20 minutes. the heat bill came in $225.00 for the month without the heat on the bill has been averaging about $42.00

the 1st graph is the High/low temps for raleigh

this chart shows the Kwh used by day.

takes 8-12 hours to get the floor warm so you need to plan ahead a little. but i tell you my old body enjoys the warm work area.
