Re: biv box

One week to 28th, last day of employment because apparently the silly suits in government think i am a lab rat and they will only let lab rats earn wages and pay them tax. How is it legal or logical? Other factories' staff are excluded from mandate altogether. The bivbox build will have to be more q...

Re: biv box

Yes, supplies of many things that were in plentiful supply before Wuhan effects are getting problematic and -prediction- the situation will get worse. First things to have gone in short supply are basic Human Rights and common sense government. The problem here is that for the time being there is on...

Re: biv box

I tested the legs out to their max lift. What i discovered is that the shelter ceiling is too low. I will use the spot to cut, rout, glue, screw and paint the build. After its built I will have to roll the bivbox out from under the ceiling to lift it up and fit it in the Landy. To be able to roll it...

Re: biv box

It definitely has something going on. The rear barn doors... hmmm. The panel supplier sent a pic of the shipment. There are double or more than what one bivbox would need.. but at the current way things are going with inflation i'd rather have them up here. I may end up making a box out of a trailer...

Re: biv box

Well, the bad news is that it has taken a few weeks for this Samsung tablet to be repaired. In a lockdown aka lockup... ...but the good news is that the password cookie is surprisingly alive and well and i can post. I have collected more hardware for the build. A carton of adhesive sealant, Tereson....

Re: biv box

Well, the exoskeleton is here at home now for paint and prepping before the flashing set up. Yesterday it was another afternoon of "final touches" at the welder yard ....with threatening weather and pretty cool winter air the whole time. Not having cab windows as yet (parts lost in transit?) i had v...

Re: biv box

Lets talk electrolysis corosion between aluminium and steel. The exoskeleton is steel, the 90degree 50mm flashing is raw aluminium (. It has to be scuffed up before installation too. I could use steel rivets to fix the flashing to the steel, and in that method i could thickly paint the steel to put ...

Re: biv box

No new work done. The welders are on 2 priority pay-me-more-money callouts: a broken steam pipe thingy at the hospital laundry contractor and a big item vital to a local quarry. But.. Steven, coming up on 26 yrs in 8 weeks, has cut into his house savings to buy a welding kit and do some after hours ...
