Awesome post that seems really efficient 90% of the job besides when you stated.

Also cool to see that truck hope it’s been a good purchase for your buddy.

It has been so far. He really seems to like it, however I think he is starting to feel some growing pains. He now has this crane and the 50t and cannot run both at the same time. It's hard to have a payment on a truck and to let it sit idle at the shop while running the other one.

Are you wearing a helmet??

It’s hard to be good…

Good?

I simply use my 4.5 + decades of experience in the saddle to decide when and where to employ what I feel is the proper PPE for a given scenario. Let those who ride decide!

Too good at what you do to truly retire. The helmet question was unrelated. I dig the helmet choice.

Today I passed my CA exam! I was a little worried when I looked up and had 141 minutes left on the clock, but they give you your results instantly, and I was satisfied with my 93% overall. They emailed me my credentials in like an hour too, which was unexpected. TRAQ next!

Congratulations, that’s a great score!

You really get around! Looks really nice. I assume that’s assembled from wood you milled?

Yea. I have been a bit of a nomad recently, and I personally love it. This is lumber I milled from some decent second growth and was it always intended to be used for projects like this (decks, fences, gates, and such). The HO's will give it a light sanding (no stain/sealer) and let the sea air work its magic and the lumber will grey out perfectly. I can't think of another species that when left untreated holds up to the coastal wet/dry cycles like redwood. Patina of the gawds...

Looks fantastic! You’re a lumberjack of all trades. What kind of fasteners did you use?

Hex screws all the way. More expensive and slower than using a nail gun, but I find I get far superior and stronger finished product. Redwood grain is so linear that it is very prone to splitting, so pre-drilling is a must. Pre-drilling when using a nail gun? Nope. Another reason I use screws...
