Earthdog is at home as we speak building our new "mini-garage" for the Hog. I sure hope the fence is still standing when I get home! I'm glad I'm here at work and not at home at this moment. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like my dad and my brother and my husband just can't build or fix anything unless they are cussing and calling it names! ;D I know I will probably be assisting him later on, so I better get myself prepared!

*L* Sorry all you sensitive gals but that's just how us guys roll. Every guy knows tools work so much better when constantly cussed at and swear words help synchronize our muscles to keep the hammer straight on the nails *L* It's that whole reptile brain thingee. That's why, if you ask a guy to weigh a 200 pound rock on a twenty pound scale across the room, the guy cusses and carries the 200 pound rock over to the scale. The gal smiles sweetly and carries the 20 pound scale across the room to the rock ( And then of course has to listen to the man swear as she has him lift the rock onto the scale. No real man would admit it was wiser to bring the scale to the rock either. Again, not the way we roll! *L*...mel

Sabre, thats what I have been telling her for a while now. Women just don't get it. Tools, and things just work better when they are called names and cussed at. I once had a younger friend help me change a transmission in a hot rod I had, the guy told me when we were under the car, that he didn't know you could put so many cuss words together to make a complete sentence.. It's gonna be a 10x14 shed for my bike and for my 16' slabsaw, since I'm running out of room in the basement. If I had it my way, the Harley would be in the living room for the winter. Here is the base that I built so far. I didn't notice, that I look pretty stoned in the picture.. I'm not though. ![](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g152/earthdog3/DSC05964.jpg) ![](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g152/earthdog3/DSC05966.jpg) ![](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g152/earthdog3/DSC05969.jpg)

But...the question is...does he hammer in the morning? does he hammer in the evening...all over this land? does he hammer out the love between the brothers and the sisters?
These are the burning questions of our time.
nice hog barn btw.

I didn't know you were getting a 16 foot saw? I don't think it's gonna fit!
Hermatite, once I posted the thread, I had that darn song stuck in my head for a good part of the day!
Earthdog HAD to use the hammer because our rechargeable drill died! He borrowed my brother's last night, so now the thread subject needs to be changed to......................
Earthdog has a hammer power tool!

Edog: You don't look stoned, just a little exhausted from the effort of stringing together all them swearwords *L*. I learned mine in the army where they kind of built us up to the long creative chains of filthy talk *L*. Looks like a good start on that shed but if you love your hog like some of my buddies love theirs ( I swear I've seen them, hug, pet, and talk to their bikes so much it makes their wimmen jealous!) you're not gonna want it rooming in the same shed with a rock saw. It seems no matter how tight the box, those darn saws get oil mist all over and into everything. My saw got me run out of the garage and I had to get a separate workshop. Maybe your saw has a tighter fitting lid but if not, that pretty bike of yours is gonna get all oily and dusty looking in no time as that mist seems to sneak in everywhere. I did notice Randy has his saw in with his pretty vehicles though so maybe the new saws are tighter *S* Thought I'd mention this problem with mine just in case....mel

Yeah, I'm not much of a "leg woman" but when he wears his shorts with his work boots in the summertime, it's not too bad to look at!

ahh, yes....men and percussive tools, how sweet the sound. reminescent of the smell of two-stroke engine fumes in the misty morning.
and that is not a stoned look, that is an honest-to-goodness carpenter face. masons have a similar face, on;y they usually have a trowel or a brick in hand.
i do have a question, though. are there any kind of footings or foundations under that blue (presumably waterproof) plastic??
i'll be interested in the progress photos....

No footings, I shimmed it up with wood pieces and a level when I was done.. I'm also going to put a cot in there so sometimes I can sleep with my baby. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

That's for the bike? Looks big enough to fit three or four of them!
