I have a Dream 2

Looks like a fun place for a dirt bike.

I went to  start the ERV up for the first time. Since I'm living here and it's  winter. It's a panasonic intelli-balance cold climate ERV. Very kool unit.  Is infinitely adjustable. For  negative or positive  pressure. Has an 8 merv. Filter. Can run merv 13 filters. Is self adjusting.  So if the  filter is  slowing the flow, or any restriction. It will ramp itself up. To maintain the  turnover.
So  plug it in. Turned it on. Nothing.  Checked everything again. Nothing. Looked in the manual. Tried everything.  Still nothing. Searched online  couldn't find anything. I guess it's defective. I mounted it in the  spare bedroom closet up by the  ceiling. Super tight  installation.  Not going to be  easy to take out.  Decided to look one last time to try and find something on the web. I finally found where they were  discussing their units were dead on arrival. One owner said their HVAC guy tore it out and sent it back.  Turns out in the owners/installation manual. There's a  sentence that  says you can  hook up  an optional  external switch to tun it on and off manually. Shows the  terminals to hook the optional  switch to and that's it. Well tuns out if you don't hook up the  optional on off  switch.  You have to  put a jumper wire across the  terminal. No mention about that anywhere. Of  course to the put the  jumper wire in there. You have to  take an access panel off on the side of the unit. So  instead of. Removing the whole thing. I decided to  cut through the  drywall on the front of the closet.  And put the jumper wire in.  Started right up and works great.  Installing it in the closet was a pain. Had to put intake and exhaust through the ceiling inside the closet. No room. So I ended up  ordering silicone turbo tube 90s for the  hook ups.

Lol my neighbor asked if he could climb it with his ATV he  didn't get too far  decided it wasn't going to make it.

I had to put a  fire door at the top of the stairs. To separate the  garage/shop from the house. Has  seals, self closing hinges, and 20 min. Fire rating. My walls are  2×6 with 1 inch foam on the outside. Plus 5/8" fire rated drywall. Ordered the widest jam I could get with out going to Custom jam. (Very expensive, and longer wait time). Not  wide enough so had to  fill in with  metal trim.  Used 2"×3" aluminum angle.  Was going to paint it black.  But  think I'll I'll just clean it up.  And leave it  aluminum.

Phone must be getting tired again.  Turned one of the photos side ways again

I forgot about the elephant in the room.

The shop bathroom door were it says  Waudena millwork. I'm going to take that off and put McCoy's Custom Cycles. Just have to come up with a kool design for McCoy's Custom Cycles. Somehow Custom and Cycles come off of the 2 Cs in McCoy. I'm not good at  graphics. Just metal work. Have to get someone to come up with something.

So it will  say. Made in America. McCoy's Custom Cycles.  Innovation in design.  coming soon...

Here's my rough idea for a starter for your design Dan  

[Millietant]

Any similarity to the Teutul's OCC logo is purely co-incidental  

Do you have any Hatfields in the family Dan ?.............that could make for a really catchy logo !!

Dan, I like the sound of "American Made Muscle" and with a name like yours, I'd just have to incorporate "The Real McCoy".

Lol thanks for posting that. Now that is serious thinking outside the box.  I am. Doing something different with a  sled transplant. I'm  putting a sled motor  Yamaha rx1 in my  smart car.  Can slap a  turbo  on it and get upwards of 300hp on pump gas. Car will only weigh about 1500lbs with the  sled motor. Saw one that a guy stuck a stock skidoo turbo motor in it. I think 176 hp. Was running like shit. And  he turned a 10 second 1/4.
There's a  guy about 25 miles from me that gets 630hp outa the rx1 motor. Although the  new sidewinder  turbo. Is smaller lighter 3 cylinder. 200hp stock.  Different exhaust.  And a flash  300hp. May have to go that way. 300hp in a smart. Would be like 700 hp in a vette. Only  way quicker with the cvt.

This is what the  outside is going to look like from here on out. Pretty much done with the outside. Other than a shit load of concrete. As soon as the  price comes back down to normal.

Have some floating 10" stainless steel  house  numbers ordered. Going to  back light them. And mount them on the front of the balcony.

That looks great Dan.

That looks great Dan.

Thanks. I'm about caught up to where I am on the house. I have a few more things to post.

I'm about to switch out of working on the house every single day no matter what. To working on  some of the  fun stuff once in a while. Turbo bike  sled engine smart car. Might even  go ice riding on the Raptor.

All work and no play makes Dan a dull boy.  This one has really aged me. It's about to be worth it. You all are invited to come see my insanity in person.
