|  looking for a 1:1 project
Okay, this is the story. My wife and I are building a house. She wanted an open floor plan, main floor laundry and master suite, kids rooms upstairs, 2 sided fireplace, big kitchen (even though she doesn't cook), etc... Me on the other hand only had a couple of things. 1. Had to be able to park my truck in the garage. It doesn't fit at our house now. 2. At least 3 car garage. I ended up with a 3 1/2. The third car bay is deep. 3. The garage had to be on the other end of the house compared to the master bedroom. So I can make noise lat at night and not wake her up. Well, we both got what we wanted, now I am thinking of getting a 1:1 project going after we move in. I am looking for something fairly easy to work on (have not wrenched on a 1:1 in 11 years) and isn't going to break the bank. Any ideas would be great. Here is a link to the house. If you look at the garage add a third car on the right side that goes from the roof line of the covered porch, to about half way into the kitchen. http://www.rogersnewhomes.com/floorp...d=35&sqft=1877 To show you some scale, here is a pic I took today. That is my 3/4 ton Dodge sitting in the third car bay. The front bumper is 1 foot from the front door and the rear bumber is 8 feet from the door on the back of the garage.  I am open to any input. Thanks Last edited by RD400; 10-19-2005 at 10:53 PM. |

( if ya didn't know or was just sarcastic )get an 85+ toyota truck or 4runner....you can build a toyota for cheap and it take you anywhere you want to go... if you take the family wheeling, then go for the 4runner... or build an old muscle car- camaro, GTO, roadrunner,charger,etc.etc BTW(off topic)- on your back fence,is there a certain type of name for that kind of fence? That is the kind i want, but all the privacy fences around here are the basic " Stockade" type or the ones that have a piece on each side that criss cross... then i have seen them where they are like a U instead of how yours is opposite... | |

Twisted...that's a convex solid design. The "U" shape you're talking about is called a concave solid. |
