Shed did not get done. We ran into some issues with the frame kit I bought. The frame was bigger than I expected. It would fit, but 1) There wouldn't be much room to work around and 2) It would run over the rear setback for the yard and possibly the property line.

We redesigned and decided to do a custom 8x14 instead of 10x12. Instead of a typical gable design, the roof is going to slant to one side. Unforunately, the side effect is that the doorway will be shorter than I would have hoped.

We got the floor frame built and leveled. I'm hoping to get some more stuff done this week.

Well you should be able to see if there is soot around the clamps but I bet just moving the tip out will male a difference. It did with mine anyway.

I don't understand the whole point of this thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ilk-shake.html

If I got antifreeze mixed in my oil I would run a couple batches of cheap oil through to flush everything, change to good oil, then go on my way without a concern in the world that everything did not come out the pan in "separate" batches. Why do people have to over analyze the most basic things in life/ Do they think it makes them look smarter?
