Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Those forks look familiar, I found a set on a job . With a 5th wheel plate, frame steel, a torch and welder, they now are in my attachment fleet for my 247B cat . And they're adjustable via 5th wheel slide/lock rail

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
That's where my old set got to!!! Lol!!! Always creative, sure makes work easier when ya got the imagination and tools to make stuff work!! Steve we are gonna have to get together sometime, possibly yet this year if I get some more free time .
Hey reg, that mud and sand stuff, blaaa!!,, got final coat of mud on walls today and have about 15 min yet of sponging. Then a 5min sand down, no dust so far . Might not even have to sand at all. Normally I would have taken the but joints out another 5-6" on both sides to blend better but for the shop,,, I just want it done!! Have some work tomorrow but might get paint on!! Then I can possibly get back to the hydraulics on the haul truck!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Cooper-your shop is looking great!! You must be working like a mad man. I can remember doing that but it has been many many years ago. Should be a really nice set up when finished. Will you have A C ? Here in Al. the 90+° days are too hot for shop work- for me anyway.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Not yet but i did run extra wire for a central air unit. The furnace I have is ac ready, it accepts a split system. And I happen to sell them . But even my cost is making me wait till better days. Maybe by next summer I can stuff one in here!! This summer has been a normal bill paying work summer but the moving from one house, remodeling old house, auction, cleaning out the barn from 20 years, prepping property for a family wedding, remodeling garage, helping my sister move/ fix up her home we for sale and life has been keeping me busy for sure. But soon my normal slogan of " why do today what you can put off till tomorrow" will be back! Lol!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Well that is "the cat". She is still a juvenile, she will start getting her distinctive yellow color around 9-10 months old .

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I think next time I mention the sauna I will refer to square footage rather than human capacity from now on .

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Like they said before Mario, at least you didn't say 6 man sauna!! I probably would have, but the correct reference for that capacity is one man and five woman sauna. I do have a whirlpool , even has its own bubbler!!! Lol!!! ( pull the tub drain and eat beans 1 hour before entering). That's only a one man whirlpool, no others ever want to enjoy?!?!
Ok back to work , even latex paint fumes are getting to me out here

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Like the paint, but it reminds me of where I work, Only thing missing is a red stripe splitting the white and grey. its going to make a great looking shop.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Thanks ed, only reason I'm doing all this is I've learned the older I get the less I want to do . And I'm pretty sure I'm staying here for a good while!!
Well I'm about 99.9% done, one piece of drywall above garage door(one sheet shy) Paint that and trim. Got base and cove moldings done!! Now I'm trying to figure where to best plant the machines. Definitely don't want to move them again!!! We use to call this the boat garage, had a small ski boat and stored it here, now ?? The wife wants to call it the dog house, me the cat house ( as in caterpillar) lol!!!! But when mark an I went to the last show I got a sign that said "welcome to the nut house" with a bushy tree rat on it.
