ARCHIVE Owl Expedition Step Sliders

[Ramathorn15]

I think @Ramathorn15 is buried in a residential domicile project, and may emerge soon. He has not stalled out on these, just a very busy fellow!
If he doesn’t show up here in a week, I will do a wellness check on him!

Thanks Tim!

Just so everyone knows. After spending months prototyping, the wife insisted that she get her kitchen reno. It was supposed to be about a month long project, but we've hit some pretty serious hurdles. Like having to rewire the entire house after tearing down some sheetrock and finding extremely dangerous electrical work from before we bought the house. That on top of the world's most uneven concrete.

It's moving much more smoothly now and I'm hoping to be finished with the house around the end of the month (or at least a usable kitchen).

Then I've got to work on the flap group buy. That will hopefully only take a week or two. Then my schedule finally opens up to getting these things going. I'm 100% still planning on getting them rolling, my timeframe is just pushed back a month or two.

For those who like NEC and seeing horribly done work. On top of whats pictured, we also found 10 hidden junction boxes in about 8' of wall. It's a good thing we never tried to hang a picture on those walls!

Looks like the builder had a bunch of pre-cut Romex.

Crescit eundo

Be thankful Rami; at least they used junction boxes.

 

[RKRUGER]

Rami, when these are ultimately brought to market, would you consider providing them in a 2x4 as well as a 2x6 version? I myself prefer the narrower profile.

 

[70 FJ40]

Wow! I've seen some bad wiring but that is some of the worst. Whoever did that, not only has he got you and your wife upset but a whole bunch of cruiser heads who aren't going to get their sliders as soon as they were hoping.

I'm interested too! Just slap some drywall back over that wiring and pretend you never saw it.

That’s what a true New Mexican would do!

 

[mhidpa]

Oh, sorry don’t mean for everyone - just me! Anyways I would wait to see the shipping price to even see if that saves $$.

I'd be interested in brackets too.

I'd be interested in brackets too.

If the legs were included They would be a huge time savor for the diwhy

 

[Ramathorn15]

Sorta hesitant to do this as my timeline has changed drastically.

They turned out better than I could have expected. I've got a few other things to get to first, but I do still plan on making a run on these.

Since freight shipping is my biggest hurdle, let me know if you are local or local enough that you would pick up in ABQ NM. I'd like to get an idea of how many sets I could get out the door while I work on getting shipping logistics worked out.

 

[JunkCrzr89]

I’m local enough

 

[QsLC75]

Can you have a set ready by July 4th when I will be in your part of the woods?

 

[Kabanstva]

Sliders look great man. I almost didn’t recognize your truck with the new wheels.

 

[Trestle]

I'll be living in Flag by Independence Day, so I could do a pickup dependent upon your timeline to complete.

 

[BWmountain]

I’m local, and can pick them up anytime.

 

[Diplodocus]

Is that white powder coating? My truck is also white...those look great!

 

[Ramathorn15]

Unfortunately the 4th weekend probably wouldn't work. I'm out of town that weekend and wouldn't be able to pull off a few sets by then.

Is that white powder coating? My truck is also white...those look great!

Yup! @89BIGBLUE and his team knocked it out of the park with the powder, as usual.

 

[Asanka]

I can pickup, end of July. Count me in
