Just some work pics

This is what the RT has been doing. Its a new building for the local vo-tech- to replace their old one.

The vo tech teaches " secondary technical programs, they include: Auto Collision, Automotive Technology, Computer Technology, Construction Technology, Culinary Arts, Marine Technology, Printing Technology, EMT, Early Childhood and Welding Technology"


And I did get the KW white. I had a terrible time with the paint, I couldn't get it to lay down and flow, its kind of a matte/ orange peel look, but the guys said that's the latest trend in trucks- its custom.

Hot tubs

and a little two ball work at the charcoal plant. Pulled chain and buckets up to replace sprocket. May be my last run to the plant, they are shutting this plant down after this season.

I've created two fire hazards this week. Installed two charcoal grills at two different apartment complex's. First one went on top of a old wooden deck. If two embers flake onto the deck- the whole works is going up in smoke.

The second one went into a new wooden pavilion. I can touch the new wood roof right over top of the second grill, If anyone gets carried away with the lighter fluid or a little too much fuel in the fire, it will be the second one to go up.

Out in the woods. Customer- "Yeah- there's a spring coming out of the hill- goes right through here on the front of the house, its been wet and a mudhole for the whole job so far, we only get the backhoe stuck in it, if we drive in it. You should be fine with that crane..."

More rock with the concrete bucket.

I put one of these on several years ago:

Framing houses out in the woods I'd break the wire once or twice a year

Yeah, but that isn't going to get boom length for the LMI.

 

[RocketScott]

What's an LMI?

Kidding, I thought I was fancy with the wireless A2B

So hypothetically, what would two gallons of (what I assume is) fix a flat have for a effect on the balance of a tire?

Took 12r22.5's off on drives to swap to 315's and one tire had liquid running out the rim when the bead came loose.


Two gallons might be a underestimate.

We have used balance beads in the duals of our one ton pickups to help counteract mud accumulations between the wheels with some success. Sometimes when you hit a good bump it takes a second to balance out again. It could work! I would guess too much would be better than too little, to a point anyway.

I have Centramatic balancers on all my wheels, they convinced me the concept works so well, that when I saw a similar device meant for putting behind the prop on my plane, I got one for it also.

I have saw some guys try them but didnt like them. I am a fan of the balancing beads i drove a truck that had them in a tire i removed them and drove it agin. i could tell the diferents .

Been looking for a transfer tank to add to a truck, and spotted this one used.




Looks like a regular used tank, pump included, $500. Priced about right.

But look a little closer.



What's this you say? seems like someone wanted small lines to go direct to the truck tank, but they can't weld, BUT they can drill holes and JB weld....

 

[crane operator]

Bed is on. Just setting there, but we're gaining. The guys really made great progress today.

Old used trailer house from texas, put on a new basement.

It was horribly muggy thursday, and we were all shot by the time it was set. I was still worn out today.

Notice the trailer came with one bed already installed...

 

[crane operator]

Yeah- put the truss pile way up the hill. Going to have a nice view off the deck.

Especially if it was used for diesel not a big deal to weld the holes up with Mig and grind flat and paint. If it was used for gas would want to steam it out preferably but rinsing good with water a few times could work. Make sure all openings are open so it vents.

I'd prolly just tap them next size NPT and screw in a plug.

 

[Welder Dave]

You could tap them but you risk getting metal cuttings in the tank. Maybe just some pipe plugs would thread right in?

 

[crane operator]

I think we'll just avoid the whole problem and find a different tank.
