Re: Great Dane excavating co.
She was the first thing that caught my eye in the other group of photos. Have any of that pink silicone left?
Cold looking shop but I know it won't stay that way. I'm jealous of the space and happy for you now that you finally have it! |

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Thanks reg! Humm, I may make some silicone,,, uh more tires,,,, lol!!! Garage is second thing on list of things to do. First is putting up a fence so my lazy but doesn't have to get the golf cart out to take the dogs for a walk . Garage is next. That's more important (for me). Lots of stuff to do. Only thing I'm not going to do is the garage doors. Going to get the professionals to do that. Siding, drywall, insulation, concrete, wire electrical, Windows, gas line from house, ,,, lots to do!! Hopefully work this summer will be slow and I can get that done fast!!!
Working on electrical hookups on dump truck now. And also have to relearn radio programming. Initially I thought I would have solder connections done tonight and test run, forgot about radio stuff, hopefully I have a spare receiver around. Hopefully have a test video in the next couple days.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Yes it is muuuch easier tigging steel, some instances you can melt two pieces together without filler rod.
Congrats on the shop space! spray foam? putting up any interior walls so you don't have heat entire building during the winter? 785 looking fabulous too, some very innovative ideas you've come up with to make use of interior space within the model, good job.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Thanks joe, still in the idea stage of garage,,, vinyl siding to match 4 car garage and equipment garage on other side of house. Roof is good, no leaks. A coupe more Windows, and singe person door. 2x6 walls will be fiberglass insulation. Ceiling may end up being steel panels. (Easier than drywall/and can just screw light fixtures into it. Not heavy stuff) interior walls I'm thinking drywall with wainscot paneling of some durable integrity or easy to wipe down. I have a new gas furnace that I acquired several years ago. It will be a perfect fit with cottage base , so no duct work. As far as house I'm in now, once dogs are out I'm painting, installing new moldings, carpet, and whatever else will appeal to perspective buyer. And when the poop factory's are gone I can landscape yard. Gong to flatten out the quarry. Would be nice to devote toy time to that but time is considered. I'm sure I'll have no problem finding work for the fleet at new place. Want to put it on market as soon as possible. And also have some time divided up to fix up sisters old house to sell also. And thanks on the truck. Might be a little bit before she runs, have to find a spare rx or harvest one somewhere. Need some electrical buss bars for electrical connections too. Totally forgot about that stuff. Been trying to get parts ahead of time, just the totally spaced on that stuff.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Yuppers!!!! She lives!!! The driveshaft may not live for too long. . At full speed it develops a nice vibration. When it was next to the lamp you can hear it happen twice. I have the heavy duty chrome one from rc4wd. It has some play in the joints and more in the sleeve part. Not made for 14000 rpm. May have to look into a more precise one. Heavy?,,, uh gonna be needing a really heavy duty trailer. Even in the Rc world this one may be needing to be taken down to pieces for transport!!!
