What did you build this week?

She has half a can of clear on her. Ate brekky off it this morning in the sun.

I have three more excellent square pieces of tempered glass. And a few gearboxes for spares. I think a few with some gears as a centre cluster under the glass would be good sellers locally for that industrial look. Some summer cash.
 
Me and the wife painted the whole damn house in two days... took 2 cases of beer, $300 in paint and $80 in raw oysters, steak and loaded taters :

Had to re side the front widow area to match the garage

R5C motor, going into the DS7 soon.
 
Fabbed up an angle iron base so I can put two wheel chocks I'm the back of the s10 and move them wherever I want. Plus tie down anchors in the center

First try at building steps that are not inside out forms for concrete... Poured thousands of steps, but never this.

With warm temps coming boilers that have started failing in older buildings can be shut down and replaced...this is one that me and another guy replaced last year. Building is from around 1920 and was a movie theater but now is a church and also has 11 small apartments. Boiler room is down in the basement. There was a makeshift floor covering the old coal bin that fed a boiler back in the day. Space was 7ft x 7ft x 20in deep...gut, fill, new slab with sump pit.

Old boiler weighed about 1500 pounds but you can break it down into 6 sections. 4in cast iron piping on much of it...24in and 36in monkey wrenches to spin pipe, sawzaw if shit didn't spin.

Thanks Tune. Most definitely not catholic...It's in the Highlands neighborhood on the west side of Denver. Very trendy, hipster, liberal area of town.
 
Great work on the boiler! what a beast of a boiler and nice clean work on the piping
 
Still quite a bit of piping added after that last pic and is not my area of expertise. We had to have it inspected by the state and then by Denver, but if the state signs off Denver is pretty much automatic.
