I finally got one done that has been a long time coming.
Backyard Zip Line
It's about 145 feet long and moves
Used 13 - 15ft utility poles
1/2" cable
Robertson mini sr-71 (recommended by Mike from Harlan)
Several cable clamps
Heavy duty mobile home tie down stakes (auger ends)
Home made seat - 2x8 wood, cable, plastic sleeving
Wheel barrow tires
Pool noodle
Used the winch for two major parts of the project-helped pull a heavy ass pole up the hill and into up to go into the hole.
Cemented the poles about 4ft in the ground
Tied down with cable to the auger stakes
Tires drilled and used with the pool noodle for stopping
Used the winch again to get the line up and attached
Kids love it!!

Oh yeah! It's over built a good bit. I rode it a few times before I let the kids get on.

Was a jeep used to pull that cable up?
Yup. Pulled the pole up the hill and used for pulling the cable tight.

I didn't put in enough fill before I put in the pea gravel, so the gravel base ended up being too deep (about 4" when I was planning for 2"). Took 2 tons of gravel to fill in.

Jared, upon further review, I have some concerns and praise: 1) Mixing bean types in the storage container...not good; 2) Books are supposed to be vertical (on the side damages the binding); 3) as I've told you many times, I am a fan of the selection your nuts provide so keep up the good work.
I am familiar with the type of client Jared was working with. I have done work for a very similar client, many many times. I can tell you that you have no control over how the product is used after completion...that is not a decision for the lowly contractor.
I made this mistake a looooong time ago; first home project requested by client. Client said she would hire an "outside" contractor, me(inside contractor) said no "i'll do it" and proceeded to do a killer job. Now the Client thinks anything she can think of or read about in a magazine or TV show can me magically constructed by said inside contractor. Big mistake. Should have F'd up the first project and had a lot more time for fixing my jeep and wheeling
@jc79 very nice work and I like your style. Put out a quality project but it took a number of months...that may or may not be enough to keep you from other projects.

So I have no time for those projects anymore so we hire a pro with the right tools rather than buying all of them for one use usually and he does it right the first time, instead of me wasting materials and ending up costing about the same. I probably have every tool in the basement. So I come home and its all done and she is happy to see me.
Post by: jc79 on January 19, 2016, 10:32:10 AM
Said projects always cause stress between client and amatuer contractor, and client may stop all ancillary communication and maintenance agreement payments until project is complete with 100% satisfaction. This time period can be agonizing and last much longer than anticipated.

Never a problem with us. She gets exactly what she wants without a stranger in the house. I get time to enjoy a hobby and can fund some tool purchases. Win win!

I can tell you what I did.
We got a steal on the doors off of CL. They were from a Brooklyn Brownstone. We were going to sand and stain, but the holes from the hardware were too tough to cover. We had a company that did some furniture for us paint and stain them. Used artisan hardware for the sliding hardware. (Probably a cheaper alternative to build some from tractor supply, but I didn't mind since we did so well on everything else). The handles were from Van Dyke...?
Tony helped me hang them.

So I had been meaning to make slide out drawers for awhile. Finally got them done. The only real cost was the slides off amazon and wood fronts and backs. The drawer bottoms I had some left over 1/4 plywood from my sister's kitchen renovation. I also had enough stain leftover front a previous furniture refinish job that was a close enough match.

Our house does not have a real pantry, only an extra deep cabinet on the end. It is adequate for space but you can never reach the stuff at the back or it gets put back there and since you can't see it we forget about it.

I can’t get the buggy done because I seem to have to many other projects in the way. We have a basement room that is going to be a craft room for Katie. It was already partially finished so I thought 3-4 days work, no problem.
Almost two weeks later I am wrapping it up. It had hideous wall paper that we took down...which of course damaged the drywall paper. So, sealing, skim coat, removing the nasty drop ceiling, moving the ductwork back to the wall, adding drywall up to the new ceiling height, and then sanding and painting everything. It’s only a 12 x 13 ft room but I’m exhausted. I need to stick to metal fabrication!
Here are some before pics:

What model, Scott? I’ve had an L2501 for four years now and its great. Can’t calculate how much rock, dirt and snow it’s moved in that time.

Jared- it’s an L2501. I ended up going with the HST. What did transmission do you have?
The non two stage clutch or non live PTO was the deal breaker for the gear drive for me. I would prefer the gear drive for everything else but bush hogging.
I grabbed a 5 foot rotary cutter, a tiller for the wife’s garden, and a set of pallet forks. Having the skid Steelers quick attach bucket is awesome!

Very nice! I have a Brush Master, and paid about the same as the discounted price a few years ago, but it can't handle limbs that big. The engine has been tops, and besides the blades needing to be changed/sharpened frequently, it hasn't needed any special attention.

as long at it can do smaller sub 2-3" inch limbs, that will be great. its really just trying to keep the acre or so cleaned up and not rent a larger chipper for couple days at close to what I paid for this chipper.Yeah, mine is for 3" round, and it'll do every bit of 3". Bigger than 2.5" I usually set aside for camping firewood. Since yours can do 5x3" you will have no problem, and thta size will save you from having to buck the limbs as much as I have to...such a PITA.

hoping it will do the little bit larger sizes as well. I do need to put it together, it came in a big box. hoping to get it put together some time in the next few days. I have a big pile of stuff just waiting on my patio ready to be put through the machine. that and a hillside to start tackling.

I can do that as well, they just need to be a certain size. I really just wanted a chipper/shredder to reduct the number of bags needed for the smaller stuff. The larger chipper was just a price performer.

chipper works great, basically just mulching the flower beds with the debris. Bagging the material would be an extra step. The exhaust/mulch just blows the bag away. I do need a bigger gas can, it does suck up the fuel. Now to get through the 25x25 debris pile and start a new one. that and 500 other projects

Is there an engineering rationale behind having 6x6 posts but only using 2 2x width on them?You serious cork?

Wrapped up a pretty big project today. Cabinets and granite were outsourced. I did the plumbing, flooring, trim, and electrical.

That’s a lot of money for a basic structure!

Final build cost for lean-to #1 is in, $1,960!! Works out to $3.77/sq ft of usable dry storage area (520 sq ft).
That’s a lot of money for a basic structure!
The real question is how much less and how much faster could someone else have done it for?

You didn’t miss them. I haven’t posted yet. Still have some metal roof panels to put on and I need to paint the posts. Since I have everything purchased i just had to know the final $$s

Here are the completed pics. I will be repairing/painting the shop in the summer/fall time frame. When I do, I plan to add an overhang over the garage door and paint the trim black to have it all match.

Ok so you I ran out of screws for the metal panels, so after buying more the total build cost comes in at $2,020.
Here are the completed pics. I will be repairing/painting the shop in the summer/fall time frame. When I do, I plan to add an overhang over the garage door and paint the trim black to have it all match.
So, it'll be done in fall/winter 2022...gotcha :)
I'd love to have that setup...nicely done.

Yes it was. I actually only painted the fronts of the rafters...you know, curb appeal and all.

Nice Larry! Did you have to add the third function valve on your tractor or was it already on there?I added a diverter valve to the front.

Very nice! What product did you use? Did you do an etching (or acid clean) before laying down the stuff?

The rustoleum epoxy Kit. I did it at our previous house and the garage floor still looked brand new when we moved (and made it easy to clean leaking fluids, etc). The concrete had a lot of old paint stains, oil stains, etc so I did a degreaser first and used an HD broom from harbor freight with steel bristles to work the stains, then pressure washed it off. Then etched it and pressure washed again. Prep took about 2 days, but from the reviews I read the longevity is all in the prep.Finally got around to painting the garage floor. 2/3 done!

Garage floor coatings just give it that much more clean and finished look! I would like to do this to ours as well.After doing it a second time, couple of things I have learned:
- For the flakes, I took an old food container (think like cottage cheese, or an old tupperware container) and drilled about 10 3/8" holes in the lid and used it like a salt shaker for the chips. It kept them a little more "random" instead of tossing them
- I bought the "grit" this time so that it wouldn't be so slick when its wet, but it was basically overpriced fine sand. If I did it again I would make another "shaker" and just use some regular sand. This stuff was so fine it didn't go down very uniformly
