I keep thinking of just building some sectional doors myself.Got a price on a 16x16 insulated garage door. 10950 installed with opener and no windows. Went out and measured tonight and the fucker is 20’ wide.
Garage doors are freaking expensive. At that price I have have close to $150,000 in garage doors in all my buildings wtf.
Right. Now just think how far you could launch something with a couple feet of 3" steel square bar and a fulcrum.

caged the operator's cab with some old screens yet, or waiting for the fresh glass and bloodstains to do so?
1/4” piece of polycarb. Multiple big ones got bounced off it at head level allready.caged the operator's cab with some old screens yet, or waiting for the fresh glass and bloodstains to do so?
Yes, homemade hangar doors FTW.
I have sketched this many times...Yes, homemade hangar doors FTW.
Gotta love the free rain awning and not taking up any room inside for cranes and lights.
Sorry for the basic question, but...
All really depends on what your trying to make. Large rip rap gets sorts out of the shot. Medium rip rap gets made from breaking the lathe ones down with a hammer.
it is similar to the inside radius from the bowl to the port on your cylinder heads, of course it matters
Exactly! Ask the next person you see how much they care about port matching!
??
Depends on the geometry. I can see a cantilever with long hydraulic pistons not requiring anything crazy.
what is the chocolate brown pile?Here is the setup we are running this week.
It goes jaw to green screen. Green screen is making 1.25 base.
The 5-1.375” stone goes to the closed circuit cone plant that grinds it down into 7/8 and smaller rock. It then goes to the sandvik screen which splits it into 1/4 minus sand. 7/8”x1/4” stone and 7/8”+ stone. The 3/4 stone goes through a small wash box to rinse the dust off.
Yeah it’s crazy the science that goes into this stuff. The stuff I make for the block plant is super special. They make a dry batch of concrete out of the sand and buckshot. They toss it into a mold hit it with a big vibrator toss the pretty stone concrete on top vibrate it again and its a solid block. It’s crazy how fast they can make a paver. The concrete when mixed up just feels like a sand. Some days the sand I haul them from my pile has more water in it than they add to the mix. They dump it into a bin to dry a day or two.
the one closest to where I was standing. That is the 3/4” clear concrete stone. It’s more of a pink granite stone. Camera made it look shit brown. It’s wet from the wash box.
Yeah there are framing issues to consider but bi-fold doors require lots of head room.
Lol someone just liked this post. I forgot allI also had a emergency pump repair rebuild yesterday and this morning. I had this pump feeding water to may course material screw and we lost a ton of volume and pressure. This turned into a emergency as i use this pump on my washplant and need to have that running between now and freeze up.
Shes kinda ugly but works awesome. Just float it out in the pond and give it power. No fucking with priming, suction pipes foot valves ect.
I first went to ag pump supply shop to see if they had one. Well they had a 20hp 480v horizontal pump. they wanted 1000 a week to rent or 12,500 to buy. I was out. So plan b do the worlds quickest rebuild/ repair. There is no getting parts in a day or two so I hoped I could just make what o needed.
Tearing it down i found my issue. The impeller was 3/16 away from the housing and to top it off I could push it up another 3/8” of a inch. I figured that lifting was causeing it to stall out .
Also the bronze bushing that is next to impeller was egged shaped 1/4”. So I started on fixing the bushing first. Called up the local metal supply house and found out they only had a 2.5” dia piece onhand. Fuck I needed a piece 2.75 in dia. So I tossed her on the Bridgeport and bushed the bushing lol. It got a press for, some locktite sleeve retainer and drilled and tapped the part line between them. Running a Allen screw in the parting line should keep them from spinning and help hold it into place.
Next I tossed 4 weld passes on the impeller to help build it back up.
Not pretty but it should work. The movement up and down come from a snap ring groove that got wore down. A simple .375 spacer and bingo the beating can’t float up. I got up this morning at 4:30 to reassemble and get it running as the boys were comming in to run washplant for a half day.
Got it back together and once I tightened everything up the fucking shaft wouldn’t turn. Once again I made my bushing tolerances too tight. So my options were take it back apart losing a day of running or loosen it up till the shaft turns and plug the bitch in and let it seat itself. Well I choose option two. I dumped some oil on the bronze bushing fire it up and slowly tightened everything up. It took about 10 mins but the bronze was no match for a steel shaft going 1800 rpm.
She has been going great for the last 5 hours. Hopefully it will go for another month until I can tear it back down and get the correct parts to do a proper rebuild.
No shit I’m gonna have to put this pump on the list to check on it this winter.
Probably has a few 1000 hours on it by now
Haha who likes to plan ahead. I like the thrill of random shit happening and getting the evening to stew it over on how I’m gonna get out of this pickle
. That would make a horribly boring thread for you guys.
Like 1200ish. I had the pumps guys come out and do a flow test and of all my shit a year ago to help me find one pump to run it all vs 2-3.
So, is that 1 1/2" and down, or at least 1 1/2"?After my help left for the day sat I screened the rest of my oversized rock into 1 1/2”. Sold about 20 loads of it to a bunch of guys in less than 24 hours. I was out for a few weeks and they were hounding me. We are washing shit that comes right out of the bank as I didn’t have time to presceen or crush it. So the oversized goes in the 1 1/2” bin. Just needed to pick the big ones out.
Why have the toys and not use them?Dad finished up the storage barn by running some wire for outlets. Buried some uf 12-2 runs for the far side.
Dad brought a fleet of shit to get this done lol.
Yeah I believe county bought all the Redimix plants. That was last year I think . I think Melvin still has the pits and does dirt work yet.
