The ceiling is 12ft and the lift is technically 145" but it lands right between the trusses. When we tin the ceiling I'll have to have a little bump up to clear the posts. This concrete is 12" of 4kpsi concrete under it, bendpak recommends 6" of 4kpsi. Went a little overkill because it didnt add much to the cost to thicken up that area. |

It’s not as picture worthy or awesome as what y’all are doing, but this is for my math classroom.
I’m making a football field to put on my wall to show as a number line and that distance cannot be negative. ETA- I just put down two coats of latex paint in 2” stripes for the sidelines and back of the end zone. Attached File |

My offensive line can beat your defensive line.

I wanted a small band saw that had a swivel head for miter cuts. My space is limited so everything has to be on casters.
The stand that the saw comes with is too low, so I bought a Harbor Freight end chest and made a sub frame for the casters. I made the caster mount outrigger style to lower the center of gravity and give it a wider stance. I made a drip tray out of some 3/16 and made a frame that fits onto the top. I secured that with rivets. The best part is seven additional drawers. Attached File Attached File Attached File I didn’t paint the caster mounts yet because I want to add some feed tables that attach to it. |

Installed the ceiling in the loft of our off-grid property this weekend. It’s been unfinished since the early 80’s and I added insulation in ‘07. Now that the kids are getting old enough to use the space we wanted to make it less “icky” for them.
It’s only 240sqft but the rafters are a 12/12 and it has a gable which needed to be trimmed. Angles are a doozey Attached File Attached File |

Today I finished my first woodworking project. Espresso mantle from poplar. It's not perfect and many lessons were learned. I also made a panel from scraps for the gas turn off valve that was put in an awkward spot. They originally had a scrap piece of paneling that used to be in here there before. Ignore the foam. That's going to be covered with trim as soon as I get baseboard in.
