all right I got everything out of my carport here all the ladders took off
and brackets took off I'm fixing to start my next project which is closing
this wall in and right here I'm going to build a double swinging door for that
ramp right there and a small walkthrough door right here and it was 23 degrees
when I got up this morning so I'm getting a real late start because that's
just too cold it's 35 now I can handle 35 all right let the games begin
a friend of mine loaned me his hammer grill
and I'm going to kill you how that works in case you've never seen one in action
we couldn't do this without it
I'm going to take my air hose
blow the dust out of there
so the hackers will hold
give this shot
get my handler all right I got the anchors in now I'm going to use my
impact wrench here and try to crack them down a little bit that's pretty good
Wow good take I'm happy with that yeah I got one - I've got three more to do like
that ten minutes it's going real well it's coming along it's coming along real
quick I'm going to have this all framed up for the days out I got one side of my
door GM in the back up here and I've reconsidered what I'm going to do for a
walk through door I'm not going to put a walk through door over in that corner
because uh I've got my bench there and I'll have to move a bunch of crap to get
in and out of the door and I don't want to give up any space in here because
when I get my lawnmowers and everything in here it's kind of cramped still even
though it's 16 by 24 so this is a 7-foot wide ramp what I'm going to do I'm still
going to make my double swinging doors but I'm going to make one side four feet
and it will remain closed most of the time and I'll have a bar that will lock
it into the concrete down here and well I got to put a header across here real a
real strong double header where the swinging doors won't warp these Jack
studs where I'm going to screw my swinging door so one side is going to be
four feet wide on the other side would be three feet wide the standard size of
a house door and that's the door I'll go in and out of so I'll save myself the
cost of a of a factory door I'm going to make these swinging doors and I'll
probably put a regular doorknob on it everything and have it lock into the
half of the door that's going to stay closed
okay I gots it take a break alright I'm I'm done with the frame and it took me
about old five hours to frame this in do need to do one little bit of framing
above the door here I got to get a 1 by 12 I'm going to put a really heavy
header above the door and tomorrow I got to go over to Shreveport
I dropped my Dewalt drill for like the third or fourth time over the last
several years and now the clutch won't engage a piece busted off there and I
got a big crack right here crack right here another clutch won't stay engaged I
have to hold this hold this button here in tight to make the clutch engage and a
friend of mine called right after I dropped this he called and told me about
another friend of ours who is in management at Lowe's in Shreveport and
they've got a drill 970 K - 2 D weld 18 bolt and it's the what they call it
closeout model or you know they've changed the design and it's the last one
that Lowe's has it's $200 drill and they won one hundred and twenty nine dollars
for it and I'm going to go ahead and get it I hate to part with the money right
now because I really need it for my wall pan panels here at my plywood siding
that's what I'm trying to say but anyway I'm not going to pass up a drill that's
nearly $100 off the batteries Christ two batteries it comes with two batteries
and two batteries is a hundred bucks so for all intents and purposes it's a
thirty dollar drill with two batteries you know I mean I could always use
batteries because I've got a bunch of D well okay tomorrow I'm going to get my
siding the drill I think I can have all the siding on this tomorrow
and Wednesday build my doors and be done with it Wednesday and I'll show you my
progress I'll put this one up see ya
