Posed this in the Fiberglass and paint section originally, thought it might get more visibility here from the ones that know. Thanks! I'm about to tear into a restoration of a 73 Sanger flatbottom and I had a question on typical original construction. Were the floors laid in first and then...

I'm about to tear into a restoration of a 73 Sanger flatbottom and I had a question on typical original construction. Were the floors laid in first and then the stringers laid on top of the floors and the whole thing glassed, or were the stringers laid in first, glassed in, and then the floor...

Starting on the dyno room. I am frickin tired of working on the shop. I'd prefer to go back to drinking every night. BUT, that doesn't accomplish anything. So.... most rooms have the cold air (fresh air) come in right above the engine. I guess that makes sense.... if only running carb...

On our trip upriver today, we glanced over at the location of the former favorite boating destination, Topock Marina. They were working away on it, welding steel framework, had some concrete poured, and it was looking much better than I'd seen in a long time. There were at least two locations...

Driving home last night I noticed two new homes being built in our area of Vegas. It's the first residential construction I have noticed being built since 2007. Hope this is a continual sign of positive growth. Has anyone else noticed this in their neck of the woods?

I count 6 new homes being built on the south side in the last month or so ....That's more than i have seen since i moved here in 09. Could this be the beginning of the end of the crappy economy or is it limited to just this area. Even the refurbished dump across the street sold pretty quick, i...

I have a 3-car garage (2 doors) and need the 1-car portion opened up... Right now it's barely fitting a standard width trailer (1" on each side!) and I’d like all the height I can get now that I’m shopping for something bigger. I know I'm opening a can of worms with the load-bearing wall...

Went out to Ming today to see what it looks like. As you can see in the photos, it's not quite done, probably the better part of 2 months left to completion. I spoke with the framers doing the new bathrooms and looked at his plans. Next week or so they will build coffer dams across the small...
