Laid out the floorplan on my new home .:lol::metal:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Laid up, day 3 of recovery from having a section of my colon removed. Unfortunately my request to hand select nurses for a sponge bath was denied.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I’d say perfect but the bedroom looks rather large.:lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Moved the project out into the sun to get a better view of how it is sitting. Hoping to get body work done and primed in the next few weeks.

Received my additional LED lights for the shop and picked up some junction boxes while I was out and about today. Going to start putting them in later if the wife doesn't have other plans for me.

I have twelve four foot, 40W LED lights in there now but when I was priming and painting my bed supports last weekend I realized I didn't have nearly enough light to see to tackle the bed pieces so I ordered 10 more.

Hopeing for a speedy recovery .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

X2 and hoping all went well! :metal:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I was thinking along the lines that you really don't need the bathroom.... Showers are so overrated anyways...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Why waste floor space? Can't you build a loft for the living quarters? :cool:
My sister and b.i.l. bought land in Maine, put up a shop with heated floor, and built a two story place to live at one end. He may be in Maine and it may have cold winters, but he wake up, grab a coffee, and slip out into the shop in his socks.
This only shows the screened room added off the back (for summer kitchen/dining room) with a little bit of shop showing
Leevon, I hope you recover quickly. Sorry about the nurse thing. They really should be more selective in their sponge bath giver hiring practices

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

looks perfect to to me but do you think the kitchen's a little big??

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

As I get older I hate stairs so my next place will definitely be a ranch
I like to cook too;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

WOW!!! Hope you are doing ok!!!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

There was some folks on the "divide" on 87 that built a place like that. We visited there a time or two. It was an interesting idea but I didn't particularly like their execution of it.

Definitely getting more difficult :(

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

If you don't want stairs then you'll have to do a bump-out for those so called "necessities". You can get those roll-off yard sheds pretty cheap.

I hear a lot of people saying they don't want stairs anymore, or looking ahead not wanting them. Hasn't hit me yet. I hope I can keep saying that. But my place further down the line I want compact, so I doubt I'll need a second floor.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

If I was alone, I'd probably live in a 16x24 cabin. Or maybe a pickup camper and just wander?

About six weeks ago I did something to an S-I joint and it's been hell since then. I'm suddenly ten years older :(

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My balance is so bad that I avoid stairs like the plague. I can go up stairs with no problem. But coming back down is a whole different story. I hang onto the rail for dear life.

This is a fairly recent problem. I never had a problem with stairs when I was younger. But now I have some medical issues that make my balance go haywire. I walk fine but I have to be careful or I'll fall down. And forget ladders. No way.

My last house was a 2 story house. I lived there about 17 years with no problem.

I'll never forget. My ex bought one of those stair stepper exercise things. Why? We had a staircase. Just use that. :confused::rolleyes:

I think she used that stair stepper once. Just like her treadmill that took up a bunch of room and never got used. Waste of money.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

No real problem with stairs . Just my shop is in the basement of this house. All my tools are there so when I'm working on a car either in the barn or in the driveway it's up and down all day long. Barn is a hay barn so it's very dusty and when it rains its wet. From the openings in the siding

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Started building my 12x12 shed, plan is to have a 1/2 loft up top for extra storage. Would like to be mostly done in a week or two. Well see what happens.
First picture was yesterday, the rest all today.

This weekend, I also raked the back yard and re seeded it, as well as getting my irrigation pump set back up for the summer. I’ve watered the fresh seed 2 times a day since Friday. Hope to see seedlings soon.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Busy weekend on everything but the truck. Added more LED lights so I can actually see what I am doing and re-gravelled the drive up to the shop.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I just made my world famous BBQ sauce. (Ok it's not world famous but it's pretty darned good). I use the induction cooktop. I doesn't burn the sauce.

I cook it low and slow. 18 ingredients. It's a pain to make. And it takes some time. But it's worth it.

Thin sliced BBQ beef sandwiches on fresh rolls tonight. Yummy! :bann:

If I have the energy. (Which I probably won't). I'll make my world famous potato salad to go with them. (Ok it's not world famous either but it's dang good too):lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

It used to be once a thing became well known around the world it became "world famous". As per CG's thread on the topsy turvy world, we now call whatever we want world famous in hope that will help it become that. I see world famous products, usually food, that I never heard of all the time. Hooter's claims their wings are world famous. I never knew that. That ain't what I heard they are famous for! :frog:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That's what I used to go there for;)

The Wings:ito:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Believe it or not I have never been to a Hooters. But I have heard that the wings are really good. My wife of all people told me so. :lol:

I asked her why she went to Hooters and it seems that there was a guy at her work retiring and that's where he wanted his retirement party.:metal:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Same here, but even crazier a supervisor on a contract hosted a get together at Tilted Kilt :uhmk:

I had just got off the plane in San Diego after leaving snowy Montana about 12 hours before, and then got picked up and taken to this place to meet the team.

That's just too much shock for an old country boy!
