  • I finally bought a new place, but this one has nothing to do with cars. It's a couple buildings on the lake that we're going to turn into paradise. The abandoned mini resort.

      NOT right, if you had been watching from the very beginning, you would realize the deal between JR and Eric. Eric is keeping up his end of the bargain and so is JR.

    Having Eric as a friend would have to be one of the greatest blessings anyone could have. He is a dynamo. His reserved demeanor and encyclopedic list of skills and abilities would make him the perfect resource for any project. Plus under all that I would bet there is a keen wit so that things never get boring. This is going to be a cool project.

    To me that shack says New Orleans Voodoo Lounge more than Tiki bar.
    You might want to make your "window" just another rustic corrugated metal panel to stick with a rustic theme instead of going for the polished wood Tiki theme.
    That seems cheaper and easier to me...

    Insane how much junk was just left to sit there. Wish you showed more of what was under the front deck and dismantling the inside of the shed. You should also leave the shed as a shed. Way more useful to store lake and house maintenance stuff. Then make the outside under the overhang into a covered seating area with a porch swing and bistro patio table. Easier and more useful for a small rental like that.

  • @Engineering_Improvisation

    Hey JR - just a heads up on the M12 stuff. The larger amp hour batteries do add power to the tools. On the M12 die grinders - they get stuck very easily with the small batteries, but if I use a 4 or 6AH battery it works much better. It's possible that may help your hack-zall. I haven't tried the newer HO 2.5 yet to see how that fares.
