Waiting patiently on my storage solution to arrive... Will post more info when it shows up.
-
Well now that's kind of a tease !!! ;D
Hints?
or
Bonus points if we guess first?
-
Matches????? ;D

Matches????? ;D
That would definitely solve something... Funny No hints, just going to sit back and see the speculation. No prizes or bonus pointsWell now that's kind of a tease !!! ;D
:P :o ;D

Must be a suburban.
-
Hmmm a 53' trailer or an old chevy bus.
-
Matches????? ;D
As in dispose of the articles subject to storage so that no storage is necessary?
No, the obvious answer is multiple school buses to be buried in the backyard... :P

Time for that has passed.... Zieg's back yard is already full of buried vehicles... and who knows who (oops!) what else! :o

Are you saying Zieg has an unmarked graveyard? :o

rosie o'donnel's dressing room from her canceled show on the oprah network

Plus a underground shop, so if doomsday hits he can still work on his trucks. ;D

Well we have some good guesses but no one hit it on the head... No buried bunkers/vehicles/buses or a Suburban but.......................................................... A used former Coke mobile office trailer. The inside measures 7.5 ft wide x 29.5 ft long and has a 7 foot ceiling height. It has a furnace of unknown condition in the front office area which I plan to make a little workshop. I need to take the ugly out of it, probably vinyl side it eventually but at least clean the over-spray off the windows. The third picture shows the start of siding the back shed (6X9 which was a guard shed) which will be sold. Between the siding on the shed and the pile there should be enough to at least side the 3 sides seen from the drive. I will pull all the cabinets/truck parts out of the garage, under the house, in my dads barn and both sheds and have it all in one place instead of one of several. I have to replace part of the floor in the very front office area but other than that looks to be water tight...

nice. :)
-
Wow, all your parts in one place. What's the empty parts of the garage going to be used for ?

I can hardly move around as it is and there is stuff everywhere... I just want all the extra parts in storage along with all the cabinets I've obtained and filled over the years. I will take before and after photos...

Dude, that's a man cave! I'd put that thing right behind the house, put a fridge, a 60" wide screen, a lazy boy....yeah. Whenever you've had enough of domestic nagging or whatever, hook it up the truck and pull it away and park at a Wal-Mart parking lot for a few days.

Funny you say that, my 21 year old son had that same very reaction when he was walking inside of it.

I can hear it now.... "Hey Dad, let me borrow the keys to the Man Cave for the weekend!" 8)
Plus, you have a place for your Internet Buddies to hide out when they come to visit you.... ;D
All kidding aside, that's a real nice setup, Zieg!!! ;)
-
how hard is that thing to tow? I see swap meet all over it!!!

I bought it delivered but the guy brought it out to me with his 200? Tahoe full sized. Tongue weight would be a concern as it squatted his truck pretty good. He only had to deliver it 1.6 miles. It has mobile home type axle with the 14.5" completely dry rotted tires...
-
what do you do for electrical service to the unit, zieg? Does it have a 50 amp trailer cable?
-
Cool. I like it. Would make a nice man cave...

There is an electrical box in a closet with a piece of conduit sticking out below. The PO said he just plugged the 2 wires into an electrical cord. I haven't looked into the amp rating but plan to work on it tomorrow while it is close to the house. I want to repair the floor before I move it to its final place. My tan shed in the first picture has power and will be about 30 feet from this one once it is in its final resting place. I'll bury a line to it...
-
Nice. It's been so long since we've had a space in the garage to park a car... I'm feeling some envy.
-
I tore into the soft floor and just completely removed it. Furnace ended up being junk so it is gone. The wiring to the office part had the insulation rubbed clean off which will have to be replaced. The window leaked and rotted the sill so I'll piece and scab here and there to shore it up. Now it is time for a run to Menard's for some 3/4" flooring and some screws. Good time to get the 85 C20 moving again.
-
Will it be on a permanent type foundation when your done?
-

No, I will put it on blocks and get it off the wheels but if it is mobile, it can't be taxed...

If it was fixed would you have to get a permit for the shed ?

No permit, at least I hadn't for the other 2...
Got the floor replaced in the front, rotten sill replaced and all the water damaged ceiling torn out. The previous owner said he had a squirrel problem... Talk about walnuts and all kinds of stuff up in the ceiling... I need to reinforce the sagging ceiling/roof joists but I have a plan. I rewired 1 circuit that had the insulation rubbed off. I removed the furnace circuit. I'll take pictures of the finished product when done.

A little update as the man cave gets some love... About a week ago my 2 sons and I used the 58 Ford 641 tractor to put the office trailer in its final resting place, put it on blocks and leveled it. Yesterday my son, dad, dad-in-law and brother-in-law all pitched in and made the stairs to get in it all from freecycle stuff obtained over the years of old decks that I re-used, only cost in it was some lag screws and deck screws. A couple of additional pictures of the garage contents now in the trailer. There is actually more room in there to move around than it shows. With time I will go over the contents and organize the back. It will be nice having everything in one place. The red/white benches are in the front office where the floor was replaced. That area if about 7.5' x 8' will be my little escape, close enough for the router signal to work for wireless. Now all I need to do is finish up the wall and ceiling and I'll be good to go.

That is awesome Zieg, It's nice to hear your family showed up to help you out. Glad that it is coming together for you.
