Stop in for a cup of coffee

Since I live in a community with a convergence, I stick built my 35x45 building to match my house. Got my final on it, then I built out the upstairs 1400 sf apartment, without the county's knowledge... Now I live in the Apartment, since Im single. And I rented out my house to Military people, on the same lot.....
Nice! If I could talk my wife into it, we could quite honestly have a 60x100 steel trussed house, two stories, for less than 60k
 
Yep mine will be heated and cooled. Thinking of putting a small second floor loft in it. Got to be careful though, our county will deem it liveable and hit us with higher property taxes.
Here's our back yard. the garage will face the deck, left rear corner will be about where that tree by the shed sits. Tree will come down.

Well good morning. A large garage is a dream of mine. 2 acres and no where to buuild, not flat enough...
 
Craig, having an upstairs is the best. I did my rafters so that I had the large opening down center then sheeted it in heavy plywood and created boo koo storage for large seldom used items. Then put in loft area or second floor if you will for additional storage or office space or a bed for guests
 
So I now know why this 360 mag is a core. Saw some sludge but everything was looking ok till I hit the #3&4 rods. No they wernt spun. How I dont know. Then pulled the mains.
 
Things that make you go hmmmm....
Engines come from the same family??
 
Nope. The block is actually in great shape and almost no taper. Still has cross hatch.
 
Wow, watching my buddy’s live storm chase stream, REAL BAD, big nasty tornado in LA. Crazy watching this thing live

Is that the place you rent out?
No, Im living in the apartment above the Garage, on the same property I rent my 3000 sq ft house to some military people. Pics of house out front. My Garage shop and the Apartment are at the end of the driveway to the left of the Big House.

That was yummy.... Just had a toasted roll with home made crab dip and some Dragons Milk. Oh yeh! lol
She's got a spiral cut ham on the grill.. Just the 2 of us, so not going all out on a cooked dinner. Just the ham and a couple cold salads she got from the store. And beer...:thumbsup:

We are undecided on dinner. I'm still mad that I killed yet another brisket yesterday, tried an oven cooked Texas style. Flavor was good but overcooked it. Was out in backyard burning and overshot it by 15 degrees, they say larger cuts of meat are more forgiving, this one did not lol!
