Garage2Roadtrip posted:I've been running numbers calculating my margin of safety for weeks on taking the MR2 in the toy hauler. It checks out, so I'm going to give it a shot. We're leaving on Sunday to head down to Charleston in this configuration. Toy haulers kinda freak me out with all that weight behind the axles. My FIL has a huge one that he hauls an off-road buggy and 2 dirt bikes in. (Plus a big roll toolbox, etc) Told me the other day he ran over some scales and weighed 32k lbs all together. I can't help but wonder how it's distributed.

If he was verified it would have been ok. Nobodies aren't allowed to be comically violent.

Those metal building deals are legit, generally speaking. Usually when you get into the details you'll end up wanting something not included or whatever. And the slab as priced will be thinner than you probably want for doing real car work - expecting it to handle point load like jack stands. Realize that it's basically a metal carport frame with an enclosure kit. That's not a knock on them, but that's why it's cheap. There's not a lot to it. I was going to get one until I moved and the big shop landed in my lap.

The fibers mixed into the concrete help with cracks that form during the initial curing, but do not add the tensile strength you're looking for with concrete pad that is meant to be a work surface. However rebar IMO is also overkill. It's a ton of work to rebar reinforce a slab. I would look into getting welded wire fabric installed. It doesn't take too awful long to properly suspend, and will add a literal ton of tensile strength.

Ow. Last week while disconnecting a mobile home service pole (house got repo'ed), I found out that two pieces of vinyl siding laying together have a coefficient of friction roughly equal to eel snot, and busted my rear end when nobody was looking. No harm though.

Somewhat Heroic posted:There are good people you guys. I hope that I am a good people to others. Last week headed south on a section of I95 I travel almost every day, I see an older guy walking toward me, gas can in hand, his prone car stopped a couple hundred feet ahead. He picked a bad spot to break down, on a section of bridges in the swamp. Even worse was that the last exit (1.5mi) he was hoofing it toward doesn't have a gas station - and the next one is another 10 miles. No shoulder and heavy traffic made it impossible to get my large work truck stopped safely. My next job was at the next exit (10mi south), I got that done quickly and headed back north on I95. Saw him across the median, he had made it to about 1/4mi from the gas-less exit. Got turned around, stopped, and he accepted my offer of a ride to get fuel. Especially when I told him how far it was - the flip phone clipped on his belt didn't have Google. Turns out he and his wife are moving to Bluffton SC, from Rhode Island. Originally from Vermont, actually from an adjacent town to my wife's family. Told me about how in college (1966), he and four other guys drove non-stop from New Jersey to LA California in 58 hrs in a 1955 Chevy. Insisted on buying me a drink at the gas station, and wouldn't take the change back from his $20.

Long story short, someone bought a purebred Patterdale terrier from a breeder in Ohio, had it shipped here to SC. Had the dog for months, took very good care of her. Socialized, house trained, very easy to deal with. The best terrier puppy I've ever been around. We don't know the story, but she got dropped off at a local fox hunt, said they couldn't take care of her, and from there taken to the shelter. The shelter vet works 1 day a week with my wife, and brought it over "in case someone here wants it"....knowing good and well my wife has terriers. She called me and I could not make any objection. Tl;dr - we have another dog. Her name is Darby.

My FIL runs them on his new f350 camper hauler. I can ask what brand he recommends, he's a pretty good shopper. He happens to be here now - I spent most of my free time this weekend adding a service panel with 50A rv plug, and repairing the water line at my shop and adding a frost-free spigot. Next up is adding a backflow preventer and cleanout tee so they can dump into the septic tank. Oh joy. (I knew this stuff was coming up, and planned to start on it this weekend anyway, but finding out on Wednesday that they would be here on Saturday moved everything into hurry-up)
