Well, Progresso makes soup and that makes me nuts. Reached about 80% on the shop today burned into a cinder. A klinker if you will. OJ my helper and Ppats kid has doublets due any day so he'll be off the radar. Hope he can help pull the trans outa the yacht with me. Used an old piece of Hatteras plywood for the leveling shim due to the floor pitch. The SUB lives.... Happy New Years guys!    |

That was all part of the build. The grade on the floor is supposed to be 4 inches per 30 feet by code here and its spot on. Its for water runoff since theres no floor drains allowed in town. Drop something round on the floor and ya better chase after it or its gawn LOL. Click on the pic to enlarge and youll see the grade. Zero at the right and 4 inch under cut for the door over 30 feet.  |

The old man had the garages in Pa poured so the ice and water that came off the cars would run out the doors. Each bay was swailed on the edges so it didn’t run into the shop area. All those frozen chunks of ice salt and road crap would melt and run out the doors. When I was running the bike up there all winter I’d wash it in the garage to get the salt off. Had a direct water line from the house I plumbed to the hot water line in the basement. Made a big difference getting the salt off. When I got done I had a fitting to the air compressor and would blow it back to the basement so it wouldn’t freeze.

Woulda done that too, then add a crapper and a slop sink. That wouldve meant tying into the sanitary pipe. Another major project.

Direct the hose out through the wall and you've got a urinal. No need for sanitary pipe  Add a beer fridge and you could stay out there all day. |

So is pissing over the fence into the neighbors yard a problem?
Who needs a funnel. He'll I can't ever find one when I'm changing oil. There probably at sky's place.

Whoa. A flusher! Must be nice in FL where you don't have to worry about it freezing. |
