Funny you say that Joe. I just so happen to have been collecting some stuff for Windows that could also work for roof panels.:D:lol:

madman 24v drills can open anything LOL

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

How are you going to get it to close?? will you be able to push it back down???

Thinking out side the box Mario..

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks guys, I just used the drill for demo purpose. Once the garage is assembled I'm just going to drill a hole in the side wall so I can use a screwdriver to roll the door up. Or maybe a little hand crank.
To close just have to pull it down by hand.The main reason for the doors is to try and keep leaves, squirrels and anything else out of the garage when not in use.
I could easily get carried away and install a servo to run the door with switches to activate when you pull up but I keep reminding myself to keep things simple and full time outdoor friendly:cop:........ Manual operation is fine with me.:)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Lol! Is Mr Nutters coming for a visit???
Cheers!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

RW can bring him if he wants. He can stay in the garage:lol: probably not a good idea though, mr nutters would get his *ss kicked by the big black squirrels that rule the backyard.:)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

The doors are done and working. 99 freehand cuts in each door but well worth the effort. The plastic doors work great.:D
Now, on to the exterior work next.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

And i say.... GO FOR IT Mario it will ad to your amazing layout.

I will come bye for the final test and inspection later. :D

Merry X-mas.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

The overhead door idea is simply brilliant...gotta like it!!!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks bud. Hoping to have it done in the next few days and of course I'm anxiously awaiting next summer.:)

Thanks KP, I appreciate it. I figured, with all the amazing metal work going on I could break things up a bit with some low budget backyard fun type building. :):lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

The building looks good Mario. I like the sprayed concrete look!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Yes it does have a great stucco look to it, thumbs up Mario. :cool:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks guys. :)

I finally got all the things I wanted done before putting this together and it's finally starting to take a more permanent shape.:D

I'm glad the house wrap works because it turns out this corrugated plastic stuff is not easy to make clean accurate measurement cuts and it helps cover the mess in the corners. :eek:. Never the carpenter, always the material right? :lol:
So now that I've learned from that, I have a new idea on how to build with this stuff. Next building will have one seam. And all walls in one continuous piece.
here's what I'm thinking.........

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Merry Christmas Mario!!

Forget mr nutters, he is probably already been in someone's potpie !!! I'll move into the garage!! And any creatures there will be staying there!! No more tree rats in the house!! Lol!! Can't wait for summer, and to see whatever you have built!!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Happy holidays RW!
Tree rat....:lol: I'm anxious for next summer. Things are going to look a lot different next spring. I want to make a little neighbourhood. I've owned 3 houses in my life so want to build scale versions of them and my parents house I grew up in. Of course a Tim Hortons coffee shop and whatever else comes to mind.:D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Nice work as always mario..the lights are a nice touch as well ..Dam i wish you didnt live so far away ..You East coast guys are really pulling things together ..merry xmas my friend

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I think you should create a "gentleman's" club in your town:D. It could be called "The Fuzzy Wall". Sounds like an interesting place to me:popcorn::popcorn::drool::drool::cool:.

Lou is right, we have no hope of catching fire like you guys out east. We just don't have the group of hardcore guys out here.:( Keep pushing forward Mario. I am looking forward to all the videos and pictures that won't get taken at your meet in 16.lol I know you will all be having too much fun to touch a camera!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks Lou. I hope you and the family had a great Christmas. Yes, being far away really sucks but something tells me that's a blessing in disguise:confused:....might not have a wife if we lived any closer. :lol:


Judging by yours and Lou, Robs builds looks hardcore to me.:D
Not to worry about pics and videos. As a precautionary measure, there'll be a reporter with camera and a local online video news reporter. :)

As the mayor of my RC town I say "no building or electrical permits are required!" ...and that's a good thing.:lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

wow thats some shoddy construction going on up there.. you bribing
the building inspector or what??? not a enough roof rafter exposed wires

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

must drag @$$ to post office and get passport info soon:cop:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Got my passport to northern Ontario ,just got to get past a few snowstorms and it will be warm again ! Good looking building ! Next step get a sheet of Hardie plank 4x8 sheet concrete board it's pre coloured . Mike

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

That looks cool,
but as a qualified electrician its my duty to report unsafe wiring to the inspection board.

lucky its only 9v......

any thoughts of a maintenance shed with a truck lift.
I was going to make a scissor lift and use a screw drive for the lifting mechanism, but that will have to wait for winter.

keep up the good work.

cheers andy

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Almost forgot.....sorry Reg, that kinda place is in the next town down the road in Crabsville.:cop::lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Looks awesome :) It will be a nice addition yo your back yard.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Yes you must! It's not like going to a store and walking out with your purchase, it takes awhile.....well, a Canadian passport did.

I like your winter attitude Mike:) Glad you like. Nothing near to the beautiful stuff you have but I'm happy with the end result of my first real attempt at a scale size building. I still need to get my hands on some of that hardie plank and see what it's like.
Thanks Andy. Atleast I put the light switch in a proper location:lol::)
there may come a time when I add some more smaller details and functions for the buildings but for now I'm mainly focused on getting more built for the yard. I'd love to have things like you mentioned but full time outdoor living is not electronics and mechanical friendly in my neck of the woods:(
Who knows, I don't plan on moving anymore. It'll be interesting to see what the park looks like 3-4 yrs from now. :bounce:

Thanks, glad you like. It's no masterpiece or work of art but I agree, I think it will look good in the backyard. I can't wait till next spring to set it up! :bounce:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Great imagination you have Mario build well executed! The shop trucks now have a place to sleep come night time :D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks Brandon. :cool:

It was only a few days ago I was telling Andy how I wasn't going to get into details on this shop build and got plenty more stuff to make..... Until today:D. I was looking for something and suddenly found some old tamiya stickers I forgot I had. That's when I thought, the shop just has to have a couple license plates on the wall which then kinda went from there.:lol:
The icing on the cake is the picture of my old Impala on the shop wall. :D
That's it! No more details!:cop::

And a video tour of the shop...... http://youtu.be/ZyNf_ni-qqo

No Babes on the wall Mario.......? :lol: Shop coming cozy....:cool:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I wish my shop looked like that!!! Looking very cool Mario!! You really are showcasing this hobby from the dirt machines , the trucks, and now some pretty cool buildings to go with!!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

The impala on the wall..... very nice addition.

cheers andy

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Shop looks great Mario! The wall details really add to the look with Impala up there. Only one thing missing though, is your shingle hanging over the front roll doors, right under the light. Can't have people wondering who owns that great shop!!! MARIO'S MECHANICAL'S or something like that.
Rob

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Time to go cut some pictures out of the wife's Victoria secret catalogue.:rolleyes::lol:

Thanks R dub, when you put it that way, I guess I am covering a few aspects of the hobby eh? :). And it's a really good thing because with the Canadian dollar so low, I couldn't afford to build a truck or machine right now. Making buildings will keep me busy and not break the bank this winter. :)


Thanks Andy. If you scale it up, it would be a wall mural type picture I guess but I like the look:D

Your absolutely right Rob about a sign and name. Seems like since I came up with S&M for a company name I'm all out of new ideas!:eek: :lol: one of our club members 1985kenworth ( Dwayne ) built a garage last summer and named it " the rusted bolt " I think something along those lines would be perfect. :confused:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Maybe you could put a loft upstairs and call it "Beaver's Bunkhouse"? That would actually be a good name for a bar....

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Sounds more like a strip club to me :cop:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Reg's comments always have a hint of female companionship. You been out at sea too often? Lol!!!! Hahaha.

I was going to say the donkeys house,,,,,, referring to supermario and donkey kong video game,,,,, but I'm sure that tan get twisted pretty easily if the next building was named the fuzzy wall!!!!!!!!

Oh Mario, what fun you will have when we are up there!!!! Lol!!!!!!!!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Hey, I'll have you know that "the Beaver" is Canada's national animal...That's all I was referring to. You guys are just pervs....
