Guest Posted November 23, 2011 #404 Posted November 23, 2011 This thread is getting more action than the chat room..... Im starting to wonder if this is blossoming into our yearly dead of winter drivel and drool, fantasy, whimsy, let it all hang out storyline.......:whistling:
Trader Posted November 24, 2011 #406 Posted November 24, 2011 Hey Dan....I might have found a contractor for you....he has experience building garages too! Here is some of his work.
Yammer Dan Posted November 24, 2011 Author #407 Posted November 24, 2011 Nice start for a 1st Gen!! I haven't quit but not sure I want to pour concrete before spring now.
KB2RWW Posted November 24, 2011 #408 Posted November 24, 2011 Hey Dan....I might have found a contractor for you....he has experience building garages too! Here is some of his work. I may want to hier him! My drive way oddly enough has the same pitch but with a 30' landing at the top befor starting the garage.
Yammer Dan Posted November 25, 2011 Author #409 Posted November 25, 2011 Little ice and that would be fun!!
Yammer Dan Posted November 25, 2011 Author #410 Posted November 25, 2011 It is hard to believe I can't find anybody to do this thing. I live WAY out in the sticks and some of then just don't want to travel to do it. Its about to get put on the back burner til Spring. But if I can find some body I would still do it. Just don't like pouring concrete in cold weather. Hasn't been cold enought to bother it so far but with my luck as soon as I pour it will freeze.
Yammer Dan Posted December 2, 2011 Author #411 Posted December 2, 2011 Got a couple more phone numbers.....
FROG MAN Posted December 2, 2011 #412 Posted December 2, 2011 Dan we have a new breed of contractors today. They specialize in Pay only NO WORK.
CaptainJoe Posted December 2, 2011 #413 Posted December 2, 2011 Ya better have front wheel drive on that first gen...
Yammer Dan Posted December 8, 2011 Author #414 Posted December 8, 2011 I walked out and looked at the garage site today. These little white things were flying around in the air...
Redneck Posted December 8, 2011 #415 Posted December 8, 2011 Dan I'm sorry to see you are having so much trouble getting a shop built. Let me see if I can give you a few pointers. Before you have a contractor come out hide all those first gens, when they see all those antique plastic scooters they think you are mentally unstable aka crazy. They don't want to deal with crazy people. second Bath (use soap) and for god sake brush your tooth. Before you hire a contractor check with the BBB to see if they have a good reputation. Sorry I could not resist I'm going back to my corner now.
Yammer Dan Posted December 8, 2011 Author #416 Posted December 8, 2011 Gee thanks Redneck. Where ya been hiding at. Now I know what not to do!!!!
Yammer Dan Posted December 13, 2011 Author #417 Posted December 13, 2011 Had one turn me down today. Said he was just too busy. At least he told me that without dragging it out.
Flyinfool Posted December 13, 2011 #418 Posted December 13, 2011 You certainally can not fault someone that is upfront and honest. But it still sucks. Around here I don't think anyone is to busy for any job.
Yammer Dan Posted December 14, 2011 Author #419 Posted December 14, 2011 I've been doing a little at a time. Form is almost ready. Pouring it is more than I will be able to handle.
Yammer Dan Posted December 17, 2011 Author #420 Posted December 17, 2011 Son from Georgia coming in for X-Mass. Maybe get a little work out of him.
Yammer Dan Posted December 24, 2011 Author #421 Posted December 24, 2011 Son and I checked out site today. I'm ready to start framing up myself. Just need warmer weather now. Might be Spring.
Guest Posted December 24, 2011 #422 Posted December 24, 2011 Wow, the economy must really be great up there that contractors can turn down jobs. I had 3 estimates on replacing my driveway all within a few days. Contractor is starting 2nd week in Jan.
Skid Posted December 24, 2011 #423 Posted December 24, 2011 At the rate you're gaining on your garage, I'll have electric in mine first.
Yammer Dan Posted December 24, 2011 Author #424 Posted December 24, 2011 I Have the stuff to put electric in mine:whistling:
Flyinfool Posted December 24, 2011 #425 Posted December 24, 2011 I Have the stuff to put electric in mine:whistling: Isn't a wall to hang the rest of the "stuff" on part of the stuff that is needed to have electric in the garage??? Just wondering.
