As a matter of fact there's a large parcel of land will be opening up soon 12X20 tarp garage will be removed to make room for more RC zoning.
I've also acquired a "temporary road permit" from the lady in charge and can add some more roads in the yard for the show.

I'm OCD and the bricks just had to be right.

Well Reg my friend. If you liked that building your gonna love the one I whipped up today.
Talking with Mark lastnight he said something that inspired me to build this especially for you. Although you can't make it to the show, you'll be with us now.. I was thinking of placing it right next to the steel plant but then I thought....this is Reg, I think he will like this spot instead.
















Definitely my best results yet and the funny part, I built , start to finish, just over 3 hours! Painting time and drying in the sun included

[Bo Wallen]

Get you some of that Reg.

[RCP57]

Hahaha that's f#ckin awesome! Is that my birthday present a day late? The wife and I have been talking about adding on to the shop. This is probably as close as I will get the way things have been going lately.lol I love how you put me out in the bush too. Make sure you have a gravel road to my shop. No pavement here unfortunately.

I feel the love for sure....

Just thinkin, are the bars on the window to keep thieves out or me in?

[bigford]

[Northern Farmer]

Hahaha Reg has his own building in Mario's yard! Awesome job

[RCP57]

I'll have to build some micro dump boxes to put on the shelves.lol

[TRUCKMAKER]

[Bo Wallen]

Thank you , I like your idea and it's very real in this day and age. What's also real is the steel plant in my city is for sale at the moment so I figure I should make a few for sale signs.

I can still make a mob because they'll be protesting if the plant shuts down


Today's project was figure out a way to use a digital scale at the weigh station and be able to install and remove easily when not in use.
once again, nothing fancy and just trying to make things outdoor friendly. I've seen some guys build amazing looking scales and this ain't one of them.
But it works! Using a slim line scale off eBay for dirt cheap, I cut the display out, lengthened the wires to be able to mount on some posts. Tin plate for scale to sit on, another tin plate that straddles the two sections of 1/2 plywood and then lay the shingle roll back down. Can't weigh entire truck and trailer in one shot but can do axles so I'm happy with that and should be fun to use.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I thought I was going to be needing a ton of wood to start construction on buildings for the backyard city I'm going to make. The material you use is exactly what I need to easily move and safely store when the weather gets bad here in Florida! I'm currently working with solar panels to power the LED's instead of battery power. This thread is a great stepping stone for new ideas. ��

Thank you very much and well said, that was my exact intention in making this thread was to share and inspire new ideas and ways of building

The solar power is a great idea but for me not sure if it would work due to all the shade all day long?

[Just_Build_It]

That's the downside to solar when the sun isn't always available. Luckily for me, sunshine isn't an issue. Preserving the energy with rechargeable batteries, I'll probably have to incorporate motion sensors and timers now that you brought it to my attention.
