Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 05/24/16 at 20:28:29 we're semi done with it now . Its metal top , same color as the house. |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 05/24/16 at 21:15:14 MM, That is not a car port, it is big enough to park a semi in there. Maybe you should call it a "Semi Port" Kenny G :-/ |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by Witchdoctor on 05/24/16 at 22:56:08 Should have called some Amish folk to help you with that barn raising. :P That's some serious construction!!!! Did you need a contractor or permits for that?.. I know down here you would... |

I have been to his house, and he is in a farming areas.......and there isn't anybody going to see him building this thing from the road as his driveway is abut 1/4 mile long and is wooded. I would guess his farm status allows him to build these structures without a permit (KY has exemptions for farm buildings and I would expect that TN does as well), and I would assume that MM will be parking his bailer under his new "implement shed" on occasion! ;) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 05/25/16 at 06:09:02 Two cars , Two motorcycles , Two ATV's , One lawn mower that's the plan is the plan ? ::) 30 x 30 under roof , the 12 foot height was only too match the house roof. It looks like a monster , but it should keep the rain off . And your Right Dave ... I can't have the Bailer getting WET ! ;D |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by Art Webb on 05/25/16 at 06:53:08 Wow, that's really solid looking, and huge My RV cover (carport) is only 10x20 and not near as heavy duty Of course, I had no 'boss' telling me how to do it ;D Good work sir |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 05/25/16 at 07:38:20 I had two AL. guys helping , one a Carpenter , the other a Roofer . On this job I was the helper . ::) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by springman on 05/25/16 at 08:13:33 Looks good MM. |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 05/25/16 at 08:17:36 MM, I wish I had place like that to pull pull my cars under when we get hail storms. That is a nice job and very sturdy looking. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 05/25/16 at 13:40:44 Thanks Kenny :) That makes me wonder , "Do ya'll get Hail every year like ya'll have this year ? Or Is the good Lord talking to our country through our gulf coast and mid-section ? You know how God doesn't take kindly to being ignored then tends to bring nations to their knees . Did it to the Jew repeatedly till he finally scattered them far and wide for near 1900 years ((70 AD till 1948) . :) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by LANCER on 05/25/16 at 14:25:30 You are correct Mike, God is using the ice rocks to get our attention. Almost every series of thunder storms to come through here have had hail in the golf ball to soft ball size. THAT AIN''T NORMAL. My wife and I have been talking about it as well, and the implications are that GOD WILL HAVE HIS WAY. Fortunately, HE has reserved the 100 lb. hailstones for someone else, and it is not us. By the way, that is a nice BARN SHED you've got there dude ! |
|
Title: Re: Car Port Post by Witchdoctor on 05/25/16 at 15:04:25 Yep.. We have had some hail down here.. NOT NORMAL. I think its more of man trying to play god. lol ;) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by Ruttly on 05/25/16 at 15:14:35 Wow that's nice ! How soon till I can move in ? |

If you work smart, it's not hard to build a carport big enough for a car or two, and it's not all that expensive, either You might need a building permit, though |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 05/26/16 at 19:50:07 Art, Where I live we cannot build anything. It is a gated community with more rules than The Old Testament.... I love the rules as it keeps the neighbors in check. :P Kenny G |

We're opposites in this respect Having grown up very poor, I prefer to be allowed to have my DIY projects, although I don't object to some basic safety codes Would your community allow you to buy a certified portable steel carport that'd be erected on your lot by professionals? Around $700 would get a 12x20 if you can't even have one measly portable carport, professionally built and engineer certified, I would be out of there so fast it'd make the HOA's heads spin there's a diference between protecting property value and tyrannizing your neighbors, and it seems most HOAs lean to the latter |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 05/27/16 at 07:40:07 We can have all the wheeled vehicles that we want. You can only park one vehicle in the driveway overnight. We do have "Guest Tags" for when company arrives. No one grew up more poor than my family during the The Second World War. I was in school before I ever went to the bathroom indoors. We managed to get ahead a little bit through hard work and I want to live where they have rules. If I want to see poverty I can go in town and look around. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by Art Webb on 05/28/16 at 07:50:50 While I always had indoor plumbing, we sometimes didn't eat, and I've been homeless, that's about as poor as it gets I'm still poor, and now don't have indoor plumbing ;D but I eat regular, so to me I'm doing good, but there is no way I could exist in a community where no DIYing was allowed as a homeowner (if you call a 16x8 travel trailer a home, and an HOA wouldn't) so I guess current finances are a determining factor OTOH in a gated community that disallows more than 1 car in the driveway, you probably have a garage, so there's that, I'd love to have a garage one day, but it ain't gonna happen unless I wall in my carport to make it a barn ;D All I have to do to see poverty is look out my windows |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by Gus on 05/28/16 at 17:22:15 Those things are a little impractical here but man that is a nice sized shed. Could double as a nice place for a cook out party type situation. |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 05/28/16 at 23:17:42 Well ! ;) Could double as a nice place for a cook out party type situation. Come Visit and we'll throw something on the Grill !!! :) And ride Tn. for a bit ... 8-) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by jcstokes on 05/29/16 at 00:35:33 With respect Art Webb, you now appear to own land and the SHED and the formal house will arrive sooner than you think. Most of the worlds population doesn't own land |
|
Title: Re: Car Port Post by Art Webb on 05/30/16 at 09:25:56 with respect also, JC, we were discussing growing up poor, and it wasn't me who claimed nobody grew up poorer than me, as that idea is demonstrably wrong no one who has spent most of his life with a roof and some food is by any measure the poorest person in the world, there are people living in alleys and under bridges as we speak, as well as tarpaper shacks in muddy fields Currently in the US an income of 20k is considered 'poverty level' for a 2 person household, the smallest household listed, and my income before taxes is around $27 k, so I do still qualify as 'poor' by any reasonable first world standard, but not nearly 'poorest of the poor' a status I never claimed, though i have been homeless and gone without food for days I don't own the land yet, but will soon, so that's a definite improvement over a lot of the world's population The land IS in an impoverished area though, I am buying this lot for less that 10k, (and it's not worth 1/2 that, according to the tax office) the Shed will be a 'formal house' at an income of 27k, and an age of 49, I will never be able to afford what most folks would call a house That's ok, the shed will be enough for a man going his own way, or maybe I'll go for a bigger one later If I had any sort of an HOA I would be off this land tomorrow, and not by choice, and so would all of my neighbors maybe that'll give a better understanding of why I said that, as someone who grew up poor I like being able to do my DIY projects, many people couldn't afford to live under such restrictions Heck, if I hadn't been allowed to make my RV cover, my roof would be dripping on my head right now |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 05/30/16 at 11:39:49 Art, I have never condemned any one else's way of living. I count my blessings and I am thankful for the opportunities that I have had to get a public school education and a chance through hard work to get ahead. I would love to have a carport like MM is building, but I cannot have it where I chose to live out my final years. I do have a hangar for all of the equipment that will not fit in the garage or my one car driveway limit. On this Memorial Day I am thankful for all those that gave so I have the freedom to live any where that I want. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 06/01/16 at 09:03:14 Art, Those women are out there, but hard to find. I never thought that I would get married again but Miss Ellen came along and changed that. The marriage has worked well enough that neither of us are looking for a new spouse. If you going to take your time striking it rich try for a woman without kids. A buddy of mine was single for about twenty years and absolutely wouldn't date a woman with kids... He struck it rich, a school superintendent from one of the largest school districts in the country. She has more capital letters behind her name than a can of alphabet soup. She is pretty and not too tough to get along with. Good luck, Kenny G |

Guess we could put cots under the car-port ? :) May need to give the wife advanced notice , if this pans out ... Wait .... We're going to Dave's this year ....

How far do the overhangs "overhang"? could a fella put a hammock in between the side wall posts?

The wife and I are planning a big trip this year... so i'm holding off on the carport craziness..... but I sure would like to sleep out under the stars a couple of times there in your area.... and maybe take gander out your backyard at those stills on the hills :) |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by MMRanch on 06/02/16 at 13:39:55 Old Rider Come do Kentucky with us this year and bring your cot that looks like a folding chair ( I don't do so well on the ground anymore either ::)) We'll do my yard next year. The Grill is on the back patio hooked up to the 500 gal tank , Those 6 x 6 post are 10 foot apart --- its been my experience that you need a ratcheting tie down to pull a hammock tight enough. We might find a tree (by the fire pit) to tie off too so you can get some stars ? |

Title: Re: Car Port Post by KennyG on 06/02/16 at 14:24:24 M M, I want to know how many steaks you can fit on the grill. I lean more towards T-bone & Porterhouse Steaks. A little on the rare side would be good... Kenny G :-/ |
