Re: My Facetruck thread.
If I saw eagles every day I still wouldn't take them for granted. I'd hope to see another

Re: My Facetruck thread.
WE saw a bald eagle at Taylor Reservoir, CO last week.

Just in case anyone here likes Kenworths or has any interest in hauling construction equipment around on a lowboy
|
Re: My Facetruck thread.
I like the Kenworth's. And that sure is a nice one. I rode in a KW last week and about fell on my face trying to get out.
I'm not as young as I used to be. Bummer. :( |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
That sure is a purty rig.

My ten-year-old grandson dug the plumbing trenches today. He ran the mini ex and skid steer both. He filled that skid steer bucket time after time and never once slapped the skid steer.
I ran the rake and shovel. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
I would say the grand son is on his way to being part of the company ,, good for him to have a not scared ,, ol papa to let him practice ...Nice looking pour ,, did you use snap ties and shoes or Johnny clamps,to go with single whalers ? ........... and while I am asking, ,,did the county make you go wider than 6 inch walls ?

His dad told him he needed to hurry up and learn how to run things so the dad could go fishing. The grandson said he wanted to go fishing too.:lol: Snap ties. I'm about 300' outside the city limits, so no inspections, but those walls we can see there are 10" because they will fill all the way to the top on the outside. I poured 8" where the walls didn't have backfill. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Now you have something to build on. Things are going to take shape now. Your grandson has it in his blood

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Larry, I think about the machines a lot. The interesting part is, I didn't get any really nice machines until after I quit working and moved to the office. I climbed ladders and used pump jacks. I don't like to think about how many sheets of sheathing or bundles of shingles I carried up a ladder.
When I first started buying heavy equipment, I had to rebuild a lot of it before I could use it. My first dump truck was wrecked when I purchased it. My dad and I rebuilt it outside behind his shop because we didn't have a place big enough to get it inside. My first backhoe had 10,000 hours on it. If a machine broke, I had to fix it that night, because it had to run the next day. I never financed anything unless there was perk in it, I saved until I could pay for it, except when I bought my first big excavator. I put it on a lease/purchase plan because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pay for it. By leasing, if I ran out of work, I could turn it in with no mark on my credit. The excavator paid for itself in less than a year. Life has been very good to me. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.

The basement floor is poured and I have dug the rest of the footings since this picture was taken. You can see the stakes.
We will make another pour next week and then wait for the block layer. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Other footers, huh? Hmmm...
Looking good. Looks like a nice setting |

Hard to believe how time has passed. I remember hitting ten years and being amazed. This new internet forum thing just may catch on.
