That driving on the parkway and parking in the driveway is a head scratcher, too. For that matter, how do you park IN the driveway? Dig a hole?

Maybe a Mother in law out law?

Why do we mark inflammable as a safety warning when a substance that catches fire rapidly is flammable? "These cans say inflammable Joe. We're safe, go ahead and light that torch"

I live in a little old house in the country, log built 1857 by a freed slave. Everything I have built I have given thought to lend to it's original character. So I built an outhouse!

Different kind of gas from my experience in an outhouse.

Very kool little shed there K.

I built a fairly large dog house... no dogs, but I like for people that pull up in my drive to think that I have one. I need to put a big bowl out there that says killer. In reality it’s where I keep the fuel for the mower, chainsaws, weed trimmers,leaf blower and shop heater.

I plan to put a vent stack with a cone shaped cap.

Thanks for the props. I built it while I was down with broken ribs last summer... nice and easy goes it. It's 4'x4' plus built to a point behind that with a triangle roof below the fence top. I still need to cut the crescent moon in the door, of course. And it will get painted to match the house. Wiped that new galvanized w/vinegar a few times already.

Same kind of thinking, a small bldg you're used to seeing on a rural property built for a purpose (other than you'd assume). Actually, that spot for the privy is where the dog house used to be.

I have a suggestion. How about painting on the door a black square with arched top for the dog's doorway? If you feel real creative you could paint Spike the Bulldog napping. Hook a dummy chain to his color running to a stake. Not to get carried away with it or anything

I had thought about painting the door black, just never got around to it. I also thought about laying a log chain next to the “dog house”.
I ain’t near the carpenter you are but I may lay some carpet in there if I ever do get a dog.
So now I’ve a project. Paint the dog house door instead of workin on my truck.

Nice out house shed Tim!

Scott, are you still raising buffalo? Nice dog house.

[kingsolver72]

Hey Ryan, Had an opportunity to acquire a couple head a few years ago but, I still haven’t built a fence to keep them in. Only thing we’re raising at the moment are kids and ducks.
I think John@thepier will get there before me...he may already have some?

[Dieselwrencher]

Tim, are you wiping the tin with vinegar to age it faster?

[special-K]

First to clean mill scale to prep for paint, but would like to see it age. Maybe I should try Muriatic, ey? It's so shiny I figure keep doing till the weather lets me paint. I bought a gallon jug, it's cheap. I would like to see it age and surface rust. I'd leave it like that. I wanted to find some old corrugated but wound up going to Lowe's. This stuff is so thin I didn't realize I was picking up two at a time when I bought it. The old stuff has more ridges

Most things these days aren't what they used to be Tim.

Just use a propane torch to burn the zinc off, but do it on a windy day, while staying upwind. Just kidding. I know plenty of guys who welded galvanized steel and have gotten mighty sick (and/or died) from metal fume poising. Or just keep putting vinegar on it, the zinc will eventually go away. The muriatic acid will take the zinc right off, but zinc chloride is also poisonous. If it were mine, I'd just sandblast it and let nature take its course.

[special-K]

Vinegar will do the trick for paint prep. I'll do it again when ready to paint, rinse with water, then use a DTM primer. I'm going to change the color of the aluminum siding on my house and paint it with that color. House trim colors will stay the same. I got a plan man . Woodshed matches, too, so that gets the treatment as well.

[Ol Blue K20]

My cabin is in historical district. If I replace any of the roofing .I have to buy acid washed galvanized so it can rust. It's been a terrible day. Iwent to doctors office because of having a cold and chest congestion. .........guess where I am now.......

[special-K]

Dang Dale. You're in the right place. Don't need to chance riding that out at home with what you are dealing with. Hang in there buddy! Get well. You're in my thoughts

[Palf70Step]

What Tim said, Hope you heal quickly.

[Boog]

Oh man. That can turn into flu or pneumonia real quick. But don’t stay in the hospital too long. There’s sick people in there!!!
Speedy recovery to you.

[davischevy]

We're pulling for you Dale.

[davischevy]

Here you go Dale.

A thief entered a house mid-afternoon.

He tied up the woman and at knife-point asked the man to hand over the
jewelry and money.

The man started sobbing and said, "You can take anything you want. You
can kill me also. But please untie the rope and free her and let her leave."

Thief: "You must really love your wife!"

Man: "No, Please hurry, she will be home shortly".

[Ol Blue K20]

Thanks guys and I needed a laugh other larry...lol

[Dieselwrencher]

Dale, I hope you get to feeling better soon and it doesn't turn into pneumonia.
