Hi Monighan!
I'm almost sure I can go help out on thursday, let you know right after news year. I'm trying to finish my screen machine in time so we can have little extra fun.
Cheers, Setti.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Thanks Bob, wish my dump truck was done, but gotta ways to go on it yet.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Im surprised there isnt more chat going on about the Cabin Fever show.
Is Friday an actual show day or a setup day??

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Not going to be able to stay any nights so I just cancelled my reservation at the Holiday Inn express if anyone is still looking for a room. Still plan on stopping by one of the days to check things out and meet some folks.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017

Re: Cabin Fever 2017

Getin' Close Now :bounce:

I've just picked up Tarpaper for the roads. 8 Rolls can get more if needed at Local Builders Supply. Also will bring 2 by 4 and Plywood. Boxes of screws. and hand tools. Anything else ? Please let me know.

As far as i know we got the same location as last years event. I'll make sure to post info. on that Thursday when i am at Location.

Looking Forward To this event and to meet New and old Friends.

Let's Have Fun. :)

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

We may need some pieces of 3/8 plywood for the rock crusher. Dragline rebuild has taken way longer than I imagined not leaving me a clear mind to build the ramp and larger hopper to accommodate the big 785 Kiitty truck. I figure plywood will work till a better steel ramp is fabricated. My idea is to cover the electric motor and have it concealed under the dirt pile since it's way out of scale and it will make the conveyor have a clearer shot under crusher to pile up whatever we crush. Stevie and I had a talk about it this morning. He may have some cement blocks to build a wall we may need.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Hey Steve.
OK i got a lot of 1/2 and 3/4 plywood. How big of a box ? I'll bring jigsaw and stuff like that Custom made at the crime scene :cop:

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I'll get some sizes and maybe you can rough cut some pieces.
I don't have any plywood at my shop. Only some 1/4" Luan.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Bo, Here is all I need:
3 pieces 24" x 32"
1 Piece 24" x 24"
I will try to make the hopper out of steel and attach to the wood. Basically the crusher needs to sit inside the three sided wood box cover that will be buried in the dirt pile.
The trucks can back up to the hopper on the plywood. Maybe some type of guard rail that Cooper's 785 can fit between. Stevie had a nice setup on his bridge guard rails bevel cut to look like Jersey Barriers last year.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Got it. Will make it right away. :)

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Bo and the rest of the gang,

Looks like I might make it to Lebanon mid afternoon WEDNESDAY. the flying forecast doesn't look as good on Thursday so I'm going to head out Wednesday and hope to find a place to stay. I have reservations starting Thursday nite at the holiday inn.

Jim

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

OK Jim.
Have you call the hotel for extra night ?

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

There should be a few budget motels left on hotels.com. I was planning on coming home Saturday night but my local weather looks bad so I had to find another room for the night. My hotel was all booked so I have to drive a quarter mile down the road to another hotel and pay $185 for the night! Oh well more time to play.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I'll call in the morning once I know pretty sure that I am going to be headed that way. That's always the problem with flying...

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I have a couple more questions about this weekend. Its my first time to this show and Im really looking forward to seeing everyone.

do you guys leave your trucks at the expo center over night or take everything back to the hotel??

Do we have to do anything special when we show up to the show? Do we have to purchase a pass for the show??

Sorry for all the dumb questions

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Wellcome to the Show Sneff. Just the same questions I had when i showed up the first time.

1. We leave all the stuff at the play aria. They got Security all night.
2. Show up with a smile.
3. Pay $ 15 for the pass, (Vendor Badge) for three days of fun ( $5 a day )
4. Play

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I have an emergency tooth extraction tomorrow morning :( . So I won't be there till after lunch . hopefully I will not need to be knocked out . It'll be in the same location as last year . Bo should know what to do . I may drop the bridge off this afternoon depending how I feel .

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Awesome! Thank you Bo!

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I made it! Anyone else already in town? Where we gonna start the traveling evening meal tour?

Jim

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Good Jim.
I'll be there 8.00-9.00 am tomorrow to start the setup.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

If you swing by and pick me up at the hotel I would love to help

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

I will be there Saturday can't wait to see you guys looking forward to another great show

Re: Cabin Fever 2017

Well,,,, today is a rain day and I've got most everything packed and ready to go. As long as everything is still good to go in morning I should be arriving sometime after 8-9 Friday morning. If anyone needs something (if I have it ) I'll bring along. See you guys tomorrow.

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Coop,

Something I was going to bring but forgot---

A short drop cord and a surge strip or other multi outlet for plugging in a charger. I don't know that I'll need it but last year I seem to remember the outlets on the pole was about four feet high and it was a challenge to setup a charger.


I think I'm all charged so I may not actually need it, unless we run a LONG session. I know last year Saturday was a pretty busy/long session.

Jim

Re: Cabin Fever 2017

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 

Dirt looks like the best we ever had at this show. I didn't see any rocks only big clods from material being a little damp. I know my production will be way up this time out.
Looks like we'll have to import rocks from outside for the crusher this time.
