Sylvester Posted February 27, 2012 Share #476 Posted February 27, 2012 Good thing it missed the garage site, or it would be next winter and Dan would be looking for a concrete contractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROG MAN Posted February 27, 2012 Share #477 Posted February 27, 2012 I could use some of that wood down at the camp. I got a 4x7 trailer and a tow hitch on the First Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted March 4, 2012 Share #484 Posted March 4, 2012 News??? This thread is 3/4 of a year old already........... Yes.... but not much has changed since it began ! So, any change will be "breaking news"! Might even make CNN.... for days and days and days and days .... Reminds me of a play "Much ado about Nothing". If work does begin, it will be a movie (Monty Python) "And now for Something Completely Different". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share #485 Posted March 5, 2012 Well it is Spring and I had a Contractor with a fairly good rep around here claiming he would show this morning and give me estimate. Pouring White Crap down and ain't seen him!! I shouldn't be surprised.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted March 5, 2012 Share #486 Posted March 5, 2012 You got what came thru here awhile ago. We've only got a 1/4" here and it'll be gone this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share #487 Posted March 5, 2012 We got couple inches. I'm hoping thats why he is not here yet. I WILL HAVE A GARAGE THIS SPRING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted March 5, 2012 Share #488 Posted March 5, 2012 Your best bet might just be a pile of lumber, a place to park a bunch of bikes, and a pile of nicely browned flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share #489 Posted March 5, 2012 Your best bet might just be a pile of lumber, a place to park a bunch of bikes, and a pile of nicely browned flesh. I've thoughtof that. Getting a concrete pad to put it on is my biggest holdup. I can build it!! I've built houses. Haven't really made up mind which way to go Metal,Wood, Block?? But need pad to sit it on. I will get it if I have to pour it myself this spring. (In that case I could set time for concrete to arrive and beg for help)I've thought a lot about the metal buildings they are selling so many of right now. I could build stick (wood) by myself slowly or do block walls and build roof. Just got to get something to start it on!! He still ain't here and its snowing again!!!:bang head::bang head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted March 5, 2012 Share #490 Posted March 5, 2012 As they say, "You snooze, you loose". I took a nap and missed being the 500th post on this thread. RandyA:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share #492 Posted March 6, 2012 He didn't show because of snow. Right? And I'll win powerball this week and just buy a place with garage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted March 6, 2012 Share #494 Posted March 6, 2012 He might show up, but then he probably had something else planned for today, so it might have to wait until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted March 6, 2012 Share #495 Posted March 6, 2012 I still find the whole contractor thing out by you baffling. Around here if word gets out you need a job done, the contractors will be lined up at the front door and down the street, maybe even fighting with each other for a better place in line, waiting for their chance to give a quote.

Maybe I ought to move!! Crackheads around here don't want to work. The one that was supposed to show yesterday is one of the better ones that was too busy last year. Didn't show today. Got me puzzled too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barend Posted March 6, 2012 Share #497 Posted March 6, 2012 Been around 25 year ssinc ewe (ex and mostly I) built a garage. I did the prep work with a rented loader, bought a couple truck loads of gravel fill, and build the frame for the pad. Hired a guy who did concrete on the side and had me a pad. Prefab walls and a get together to put her up including trusses. Did the roof sheeting and siding myself but hired a roofer to do the shingles. If'n I didn't have a 12-12 roof would have done that myself too. You can do it, if it comes to it Dan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
