I'll have to find it. I've got them both printed out somewhere. I've got stacks upon stacks of drawings and blueprints in the garage just waiting for me to get the money and motivation to build them.

here's the tv system in work




as for the tunnel grating, if done correctly... shouldnt be an issue. it would be the same as driving off a drive on lift. (unless you are going to a point style lift with adjustable arms instead of a full drive on ramp.

PICTURE UPDATE

here are a batch of pics from October.

we had the roof sheeted and shingled by some local contractors... too high up for us... glad we just had to write the check on this one. haha.


also some pics from the peak... view of my aunts house, my parents house accross the street, my dads barn... which he says looks like a pup tent now.

and a few pics of the lake.

that was pretty much what I had to deal with.

Nick came over with a case of Buds at 11am... so by the time the concrete was cured... so were they. haha

You need to move this ladder to the inside or you'll have to walk outside in the cold wet winter weather to get upstairs...

Just don't drive like this inside the garage area when you install the stairwell...
