  1. a lil late to the party but it appears you are at about 3600 sq ft @ 14' sidewalls Morton = 52.50/sq ft Cleary = 49ish/sq ft for non finished you are closer to 20/sq ft all of these include concrete wish/wants for mine........wish i would have had it insulated from the get go, its so full of crap now its hard to work around it built mine in 05 with 16ft sidewalls in the center wish i would have gone 16s ( thats been discussed ) my shop area is too small so at some point i will move out to the 30x60 portion with taller ceilings nothing stops a person more that their wallet so do the best you can for now $$ was why i didnt insulate anything but the ceiling put in a floor drain if you havent thought about it insulated roll up overhead doors i would go wider than 12x12 if you ahve BIG stuff i have been chipping away at my situation for years now, and when I retire it will finally be ready for year round use in climate controlled space. you will save a lot of money doing what you can but if your wife is wanting space for the kids...............there will be compromise because of the budget. hopefully you can figure out what works best for your family but you have some sq ft numbers $$ that makes it easier to figure out how much area you can afford now/later depending on what you are wanting/needing now and how much you can save by doing things that you are capable of ( or your buddy can do 😉
  2. so it seems more are getting into this hobby and each have their passions we are now allowed to use thermals for coyotes from jan thru september here in missouri my cousin and his boy and friends are doing tournaments and are doing day/night combos with raccoons, cats and coyotes they are using thermal, one uses a RIX HD6 and the other an AGM Contractor - guy at church uses a thermal scanner and night vision to close the deal he likes to scan with thermal, pick something out and then stalk hunt it with the night vision, he is former military so not sure if that is kind of how they did things or not or just a hobby to try to pull it off i didnt get to take with him long enough will ask more when i see him next week any of you all doing it ? what do you use? would you pick a specific type/brand ? they are $$$$ not cheap for sure and the more spendy ones come equipped with an LRF built in with the way our country is going it might be something to invest in for the zombie apocalypse 🤣
  3. lol yea kinda makes sense with the windmill cutting down noise and the lil brother hollering at you w/out one trying to keep up my 6.0 ford only cackled when you gave it the beans other than that it was a divine whistle - i miss it that was a great truck - i think turbos cust down a lot on noise cept for the big 3406 in trucks they seem to cackle and beller when pulling or jaking
  4. oh my jeff i bet that rattles your teeth now i dont think i would want to listen to my 436 w/out a muffler for hours
  5. well that looks down right awaesome, i like 7014 on my ac machine its what i learned on
  6. you should buy it she is ready to go!!!! tires hold air but are weather cracked so might not make it to virginnie
  7. it was a salt house dome - had to be moved about 15 miles, then rebuilt i hauled blocks for 3 days and they were VERY HEAVY and partial payment was that 6.7 cummins not sure what to do with it just yet
  8. yippee...............glad you got it going - i use the bio kleen, i use the newest p/s family stuff called clear diesel also for added elixir, been using them for a few years hopefully have as good of luck with it as I do with sta-bil on gasser stuff so far so good
  9. thank god for guardian angels for all of us
  10. From just b4 thangiving to christmas ive been busier that a one armed paper hanger in a tornado trying to pull off side hustle work and do my full time gig - heres what i was working on
  11. well heck why dont we have a cummins hackathon pizza party and get it done!!!!! maybe just throw a p pump on it and call it good
  12. other high fliers Altitude Record: A Rüppell's vulture was involved in a bird strike at 37,000 ft (11,300 m). Adaptation: It possesses a special variant of hemoglobin to absorb oxygen in the thin air of the upper troposphere. Habitat: These African vultures soar vast distances searching for carrion. Other High-Flying Birds: Bar-headed goose: Known for migrating over the Himalayas, reaching heights over 23,000 ft (7,000 m). Common crane: Recorded flying at 32,800 ft (10,000 m) in the Himalayas. Alpine chough: A crow family member that routinely forages at over 25,000 ft (8,000 m) in mountain ranges.
  13. maybe so = according to the googles = Sandhill Cranes typically fly at 3,000 to 7,000 feet during migration, using wind currents and thermals to conserve energy, but they can soar much higher, sometimes reaching altitudes of 13,000 to 20,000 feet, especially when crossing mountains or utilizing strong updrafts, allowing them to glide vast distances with minimal flapping.
  14. not sure about verizon or atnt but the carrier i have you can add authorized users on your account so you do not have to be there for any going ons of the purchasing, trading, upgrading, txferring, bill modifications and so on............when I added my wife as authorized they just called us on her phone number adn then I had to say yes I authorize it after they send a code to my phone to verify it was actually me there are ways around the nuiances and setting up a samsung or iphone is very easy with backup or direct txfer from iphone or same with samsung and their phone txfer app called smart switch. E Z P Z -------- the worst part of any of it now days is if you use any kind of special multifactor authentication or security keys to get reloaded because most of the time you have to have someone reset your account from the instution that owns it but that is far outside the carriers responsibility. i just ordered new home internet, they shipped the device, got it out of the box, plugged it in and it worked ina bout 10 minutes sitting in my window. I did take a lil extra time to scan the QR code and log into my account and change the device name/password so my SSID would be the same and I didnt have to reconnect all the devices in my house to my wifi. i do not go to the store, ship to my house, do my txfer of pix/data/apps and last time it took about 30 mins - i will be preordering the new samsung galaxy here in about a month, i am due for a replacement i get the 2 yr promos and then i dont ever have to buy a phone they are all subsidized with a zero cost.
  15. that woudl be a big ribeye
  16. dont forget about the jacked up 6 speed pattern on a B/A/G not sure how long they carried that through i kind of liked the low/high 3 speed better less moving of the stick with the over/under
  17. lots of them south of jeff and nick, oklahoma, texas, kansas have seasons not sure about braskie but as jeff said they migrate thru that corridor - i looked into a bucket list hunt for them and texas has the best limit on them of 3/day and possession of 9 so i could potentially bring that many home after looking at licenses and fees i decided against it, a couple grand for 9 birds is a lil over my reasonable budget so saving my money up for a thermal scope for coyotes missouri is opening up the season for night hunting on them here so that will be a fun new adventure i am working on building an inductive annealer for my reloading brass i dont think you can shoot them with a rifle but that would be fun in my book
  18. there is soem kind of electronic control modules on the side of the block so that might be something to start with
  19. i recently acquired a 6.7 cummins it is out of a wrecked pickup 2011/2012 vintage, it was a 2wd so has a front sump setup it was payment as part of a job I did for a customer my question is, i will will need to replace the oil pan because a hole got poked in it in the removal process getting it out of the wrecked truck - it is sitting on a pallet complete engine, is there a way to give it some fuel like via a lift pump and hook up the battery to it and will it fire up or are there just too many sensors on the thing that it wont crank/run?
  20. i will say this, i have both, i use my red stuff more than green, for many reasons, the main reason I have green is because they were family heirlooms from my childhood ( the old two lungers ) and my newest a CUT is because Red didnt offer a 72" belly mower for my wife. red will never replace green for me anymore than a chevy will replace my ford truck - ok now let the CHEBY/FORD battle begin!!!!
  21. i will say this, buy once cry once, buy the best you can afford - im 60 and glad I got what I got 25ish yrs ago........its light enough and big enough for my stuff at my age - i think the newer replacement is a little lighter and a weeeeeeee bit more hp - i went with the pro series in a stihl - no complaints - still rips thru wood sweet music!!!! id for sure consider a used saw in a pro grade before buying a consumer saw new i have always ran a 20inch bar on mine and no issues whatsoever its a ms260 but they say the 261c is a better saw - a lil lighter and a lil more hp sorry i dont know anything about huskies ive heard hit/miss with them and likely due to consumer grade adn pro grade units id go with the lightest most powerful as you get older you will be glad you did
  22. good deal hope it works well for you, the geo fencing wireless would be my choice if i went that way, i keep my lab kenneled because we have a busy street and i am afraid he would bust through going after another dog or deer when his instincts take over this is what would make it for sure - i work with a guy that has been a trainer for german shepherds/belgian malinois he said teaching them the concept of the noise/buzz is what works its not the ability to zap them - it takes time for them to understand it means no but it works well
  23. both depends on application or what you are measuring
  24. i cant believe how well the 310 german that is almost 60yrs old and the 436b start w/out ether or glow plugs or grid heaters its amazing how did they make stuff start like that back then and now we have to have all this help/assistance on the new stuff
  25. i will say this............had two 560s with 282s, AFAIK the 63 had 3 head gaskets all after we got it,maybe had more before we got it not sure, it started using water about a couple mos after we got it, pulled apart put in gasket, noticed water going down in radiator next 3 or 4 x we ran it, guy took it back apart - took to machine shop.............surfaced head.............put back together, lasted about 6 mos - losing water - took apart, called a guy that dad knew that was a puller - said the guy machining head didnt know what he was doing or have right equip, took head to him, he said it was not flat, he machined it, put it back on and lasted another 3 or 4 yrs then we sold it - that was around 2018 so that vintage of head gaskets no clue what brand the 58 282 i had no clue how many hours other than the 7Kish on clock, was turned up to 2300 rpms and ran very healthy..................it had the diamond stamp on s/n and the 17gpm hyd pump - engine may have been from a 706 or combine not sure since it was turning such high rpms had it quite a few years 10+ and it never lost water and never had a head gasket - we spent about 3500 on that 560 headgasket and machine work paid another guy to do it
