Waxed the car...
Geeez Niner, if women don't find you handsome they can at least find you handy. Good work, I have trouble cutting a sheet of plywood in half..
Now I just feel terrible about my garage situation (it’s a disaster at the moment).
Nice car by the way.
It gets worse. Concrete fence I built for my place. Made the mistake of telling my wife to draw a design for the back gate and I will build it.
I did the pattern old school. Made pin points on a concrete floor. Used a string to make my arches. Placed the plate over my pattern on the floor then traced the pattern onto the plate. Cut the plate by hand with a plasma cutter. Used a mig welder.What kind of welder do u have? Did you have plate lazered/water jetted out for gate?

Just need to keep in mind your trusses are not engineered to hold up your sled. You would need to reinforce your trusses when you add extra weight. Just something to keep in mind.View attachment 217520
Decided I needed to get the shelving up off the floor so I have more floor space. Decided on some suspended shelves to put my store bought units on. I have a 3rd like the 2 in the pic but didn't want to put it in front of the window and obstruct natural light. I've had them right loaded up now for a few weeks and they're working well, a bit of a pain to need a ladder for reaching stuff but I don't mind too much. I wound up putting up another this weekend in front of the car as well just higher up.
Phuck it, I think im going to hang my M1100T from the ceiling too. Why have it take up precious floor space when it can dangle from the roof. I think I already have a plan.

Shouldn’t be too risky for a 2 stroke. Not sure I’d do the 4 stroke.
Trusses are designed to handle the heavy snow load. Sled should be on the ground when the snows flying. But you would need to spread the load over many trusses.
Im no engineer or framer but my guess is the load is very different hanging from the bottom rather than a pushing from top..?
