No big story behind the wifes first ring, we were young and just getting things started. I went down to one of the jewelry marts in Santa Ana and had a ring made. I knew what cut of stone she wanted and a general design. I took a couple different ring designs and combined them. Good stone, just...
Very nice truck. I personally am not a fan of the big wheels on a dually, but I know most do.
I had an '85 back in the day that I loved. It must have had a bid STEAL ME sign on it that I couldn't see. 2 different times in 2 different locations someone tried to steal it but couldn't get it...
Same! I get that they are bad ass and all, but no chance in hell am I paying that for a pontoon. Hell, I won't even buy a new truck for the same reason.
Congrats on the sale RD.
Framers are getting close to being wrapped up, pending inspection. All fascia is up and they are working on sheeting the roof now. Other trades are getting lined up to be here within the next week or so.
One of my main concerns starting the build so late in the year was the amount of moisture...
No action photos or videos here, but definitely some good times and not so good times.
How it started
Midway:
End of the evening: Numbnutz was sidehilling and essentially flopped it over on purpose.
Next outing: This one the edge of the trail gave way and down they went.
And it's out with...
Framers are cranking away, almost all of the trusses are stood up and a lot of blocking is in place. Excited to see the shape of the house.
I took the KRX across the meadow to see what it looks like from the other side.
We took some time off for Christmas with our little family. When we moved here we started a new tradition of dinner at the CDA Resort on Christmas Eve.
Back to work but it's not all unicorns and rainbows. We've had a pretty heavy early snowfall, followed by record low temps, followed by an...
Checking the cameras to see if the framers are still out there braving the elements and captured this. Current temp is 4* with the wind chill making it feel like -10*. These guys are troopers!
Got back home yesterday to see exactly what I thought. Almost all of the walls are up and trusses are scheduled for next Wednesday. Framers have been moving pretty good for such a small crew.
Last update from the wife:
Master Bedroom. Yes I still call it the Master and not the pc bullshit...
I've always said the best truck would be a combination of parts from the Big 3. 05-07 Ford CCLB Cummins swapped with an Alison trans. If I start having problems with my 6.0 that's the direction I will be going. Hard to justify the monthly payment of a new truck that gets driven 5k miles a year...
Haven't had car payments for a few years and when we had them, the largest was about $400. My son keeps trying to get me to buy a new truck but I can't justify these crazy payments for a truck that gets driven a few times a month. It just doesn't make financial sense for me.
Thankfully my wife...
