LMAO......Funny stuff
I guess that if Baghdad Bob is a witness to the accuracy of events, that does it for me. The prosecution recommends dismissal of all changes and extends it's most sincere regrets to both the defendant and the Court. I extend my thanks to ATH, Solicitor Supreme.

My new height gage at:
Also answers several questions including:
blade elevation per turn? Its .0833" per turn, very accurate.
How much error can you get by not measuring blade height with a tooth at the very top? You can easily get as good as within .002" (about 1/512th of an inch for those into fractions) if you just eyeball the tip to the center of the arbor wrench slot. Surprisingly, if you pay no attention at all to where the tip is, the error this causes is no worse than plus zero to minus 0.019" (just a hair over a 1/64th"}.
These and others discussed in detail at the link above.

Making a shop from a carport.
This summer I converted our carport into an enclosed shed.
Before:
And after:
Now the only issue is that there are too many large openings to hold any heat inside. Just finished closing up the ridge (a 3" wide opening the length of the building), and hope to get the eaves closed up later today.
Once that's done I can put in some sort of ceiling to close the entire roofline off and add some insulation to the walls and it should be fairly toasty this winter.
This gives me a 16' X 20' work area, with an 8' X 16' storage area, until the LOML decides it's time to get her car inside. [}

Looks good! Insulation will be a must for your neck of the woods. Are you sure you want to seal it up that tight? Down here attic ventilation is an important thing. My metal pole barn has a ridge vent and vents on the soffit area.Jim in Texas and Sicko Ryobi Cult Member ©Comment

Well, I'm assuming there will be plenty of ventilation through the 'holes' left from the ridges in the roofing tin. (They are all open along with about an 8" gap between the sidewalls and the roof).
I'm starting to learn more towards a good ceiling with insulation.Comment

NICE looking. I have similar ventilation in the roof of my home made shop, and I will probably leave it that way. We don't get as much snow here as you do, so insulation is not quite as necessary. IF it does get real cold, I will plug the holes.Hank Lee

Looks great Stan! What type of heating are you planning for it?Monte (another darksider)

Right now I have a propane space heater. After I get things sealed up a bit more I'll know whether that will heat it enough to keep things above freezing or not.
Just wish it didn't mak so much noise... sounds like a jet warming up for take-off.Comment

I'm starting to learn more towards a good ceiling with insulation. This summer when I was putting up the ceiling insulation I could feel the difference while I was putting it up. Definately a must do project to make a shop comfortable. You are going to love having a sheltered shop space

Looks good, Stan. Are there going to be any problems with the floor? From the picture it looks like asphalt.Don, aka Pappy,

The asphalt has been curing for almost 6 years now, so that should be no problem, other than -- there is no place in the shop that's level, can't roll anything with less than 10" wheels without vibrating the crud out of it, and sawdust has thousands of places to pack into.
But, it's a home for my BT...
