Rytheric posted:So im building it directly from this book I have called how to timberframe. It has all the blueprints, timber sizes, and loads in it. As far as the Timbers themselves. I'm just going to send the cut list to a few mills around here the same way I got model kit and see which one will do it and for how much. Are you intending to use pinned tenons and the like? All the timber framing I've seen uses rather complicated joinery and involves a lot of hand work.

um excuse me posted:You should really find a railroad tie and see how long it takes you to chisel a single tenon. You'll be at that poo poo for months building a whole house. I predict that Rytheric will discover that timber framing is far more difficult and much slower than it looks on YouTube. I hope he proves me wrong, though.

um excuse me posted:I'm surprised square broaches that you just, like, slam through wood with a hammer isn't a thing. Wood has a habit of crushing and splitting. You need to remove the bulk of the material with a drill, then use a mortising chisel to square it up.

um excuse me posted:If well built, Murderhaus could be a 500 year structure. The oldest wood based structures are pretty much all timber framed. And it will take Ry 20 years to build it, he'll live in it for 10, and then it will sit abandoned and rotting for the next 470 years.

Rytheric posted:If that is my life, oh well, I've lived well enough. Whatever I do will be better than the dilapidated church lowering everyone's property values. And that's fine. The joy is in the building of it. Go nuts. I'm the same way. I build stuff because I enjoy building it. I'm not doing it for posterity. I was more just making the point that few people really want buildings that last 500 years.

corgski posted:Hell I used to work with a guy that made Amish-approved desktop computers. Put it in a wood case, pre-install solidworks, set some firewall rules so they can’t access anything other than yahoo mail and state government websites, and don’t give them the admin password and it’s good. A year of hand-chiseling timbers every day from dawn to dusk will probably focus his mind a bit.

kreeningsons posted:The guy in this video mentions that stick frames came to dominate the construction trade due in part to labor unions. Does anyone know any details about this? Genuinely curious. I doubt it was labor unions specifically, but just a coincident to a shift in general attitudes and economics due to the rise of industrialism. Timber framing was popular when materials were expensive and labor was cheap. Stick framing became popular when materials became cheap and labor became expensive.

Rytheric posted:You literally missed the first sentence. 10 amps @ 120V is 1200 watts, which your inverter seems to be able to handle. Regardless, if you go with battery-powered tools, you can have a few batteries charging all the time and comfortably rotate them as needed. Most systems have one battery type that fits an array of different tools.

I was only correcting your math on the power draw. I wasn't expecting you to actually power a circular saw off a 12V battery. The larger issue is that your productivity with only hand tools will be extremely low. You're going to need a source of electric power other than the alternator of the truk if you're going to get your houses built before you die.

Rytheric posted:So the seller is just a wholesaler who had a contract to sell the property which expires in March. He was going to sell it to me for $20,000 at $5000 down. The owner wanted $10,000 at $2000 down. So the wholesaler was going to walk away with $3000 down which he was going to expense to the survey and take off with the payments for the remainder $7000. The wholesaler got upset with the owner because the owner was taking too long and waived off his surveyor twice and backed off. He sold me the title search and equitable interest for $1000. He told me to knock on the owner's door with the paperwork he provided me and have him sign it for $10,000 as he agreed upon, but I had no idea who the lawyer and everything was so I was waiting on my lawyer. So you've got a con man conning another con man and both of them see you as a mark. Maybe they're right.

Rytheric posted:Yeah I'm going to wait til I get my lawyer on the phone before I go forward. I'm weary of getting a realtor because I need a low down payment. Realtors make money based on a percent of the selling price. They have no influence on anything else. However, they do understand the legal aspects of the selling process and have a vested interest in making sure all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed, because they don't get paid otherwise.

Rytheric posted:The problem is that I'm not looking for a mortgage I'm looking for owner financing or to pay the property outright like the 6k land. I will look into though. Realtors have nothing whatever to do with mortgages and will gladly help with owner financed sales. I've used them for that myself. They will help you with whatever financing arrangements you want, because it will help the property change hands. That's how they get paid.

Also, I'm in Chattanooga. I drive the mountains along the state border fairly regularly. If you're in the western part of the state it wouldn't be much out the way to drop in on you now and then. Don't know how much use I'd be, but I can be a set of hands on occasion. I do woodworking with powertools, so I'm The Enemy, but if you need some power tools for a day (and the power to run them), I could load a few in my wife's van and head over for a day or two. I'll dig up a 1500W generator if you need it to run them. Just consider me an emergency resource when the hand tools ain't cutting it. I won't push my services, just letting you know they're there if you decide you want to try them. Peace, love, and hope to you, my friend. I hope things work out for you. Note: From the outside, what you're doing with that land seems absurd. If it's cool to you and can make it work, good on ya. We're all skeptical, though. Hope you prove us wrong.

Rytheric posted:So here is the exchange I had with the agent the performed the exit scam on me. I will check if the lien is in the paperwork he gave me. But he was just telling the guy to refinance which is what the second realtor told me would be acceptable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4RvskuFnPY&t=71s

Rytheric posted:I dont think it's a scam at this point. Another realtor point out that everything is rather kosher if a refinance is involved. The sellers agent was doing things right compared to what the other realtor suggested, he was just rather unethical. The exit scam wouldn't have been as exit scammy if I had stuck with his lawyer to follow through on things like he suggested but I didn't want to pay his lawyers fees if my company will pay for my own lawyer. Even if it's not a scam (it is), there is no way you're going to get clear title to it in any reasonable length of time. This particular piece of land is not unique. There are plenty of others that are suitable for your plans. You have a big emotional investment in it for some reason you won't tell us, but it's an abusive relationship and time for you to get out.

Rytheric posted:So for context on why I'm rather adamant to buy something rather than simply wait which will only make me look dumber. You did a dumb thing in changing your plans. It happens. Welcome to life. Continuing to pursue this particular piece of land is bad money after good. It is not going to work. It's time for Plan B. Talk to your boss about extending your stay. He's already committed to another year, a few more months probably will be fine. Work with a realtor and find another piece of property that will work for your plans before you commit to it. You also need help with finances, as you shouldn't be using your 401(k) as a savings account. Being a goofy free spirit has run hard into reality here. You need more help than this thread can provide.

koshmar posted:That brings up a good point. How are doors, manufactured to be installed in a stationary object, going to handle be installed in a box truck. I can imagine there’s going to be a lot of swaying and lateral motion the doors won’t like.  The vibrations from the truck driving will cause the frames to work loose, the glass to shatter, and the hinges to pull out of the frame, but don't tell Ry.

Rytheric posted:So what I'm thinking is that probably the best course of action is to forget about land this year. If I want the land I can try again next year. I can take the $6000 I have and take GroverTruk to get the suspension replaced and fixed up then finish flushing it out. Save up and worry about land for the MurderHaus next year. That land is probably not going to get sold anytime soon so in the least it will be waiting for me next year. In the mean time I can look elsewhere and establish connections with my company lawyer and such. I at least learned more about the process this year.

Rytheric posted:So. I took another gander into the dark recesses of the GroverTruk underbelly because I was concerned that a lengthened pipe would be too close to the fuel tank. Lo and behold I found a bracket for the original exhaust that would have the CO escaping into the environment out from behind the rear passenger side dualies. I think the previous owner made several modifications to the grovertruk. I noticed some cooling lines were missing from the throttle body, there was a hole in the catalytic converter and now it looks like the down turned exhaust under the bed is also a modification from the original. It sounds like they were trying to get more power out of the GroverTruk. As if it needed more power. Perhaps if I restore the original exhaust it will run better. I bet it turned some sick 1/4 mile times, though.

Space Kablooey posted:Very stupid question: How is the exhaust seeping into the box cabin if the pipe is pointing downwards in the middle of a presumably solid floor? Is it a question of the exhaust seeping through some really small cracks in the floor and/or through the back and through the door seams?

tater_salad posted:That's the failure point one of the coolant lines will break / pop before something else fails, it's very confusing if you ask me. It's also really not cool for the environment to be dumping glycol and other chemicals all over it but know what.. at least when the engine is off / breaks it wont make noise. It just means that he can't be bothered to fix it properly. It falls apart regularly but is fairly easy to put back together. Calling it a "controlled failure point" makes it sound like he planned for it to work that way.

um excuse me posted:It was my interpretation that his boss and this thread seem to agree on a lot. I've gotten the impression that Ry's boss is going out of his way to keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't left to fend for himself. I'm not sure how much of his advice is direct advice or just stuff Ry has absorbed by hanging around. I guess we'll figure more out in the future.
