So I reached back out to the Codes guy and confirmed the setbacks are regulation in my Town. Nuts.... There is a variance process, which he gave me the paperwork to. Another 7 sheets of crap that has to go infront of the board for approval. Im going to propose 30-foot setback. Even with this...

Not sure I will have to ask. I know there was a house built and the garage jutted out to within some distance of the road, and they made the contractor tear it down and move it back. Im trying to get some info on it.

Yup, nothing like government dictating what you can do with your land. Road setback is 100-feet, 50-feet on the sides and back. So thats 2.13 ares of my 5.13 I cant do a thing on structurally. I guess its keeps us rural folks rural though.

Finally bit the bullet and got a full set of Weather Tech floor mats for the Yukon. My wife talked me into it, by ordering them herself. Had hoped to get a cheap set from the JY or on MarketPlace. Guess we are done waiting. These are way to nice for my Yukon. Gonna mock up some carpet that I...

Been raining now stop, of course causing pounding in my only low area. One new issue is that setback now requires 50-foot from the property line. Back when I planned and commenced the site work it was only 25-feet. This now puts me right up against my slope to the grass. We will need further...

Good to see some of the comments here to help with ideas. I am awaiting an updated quote from 1 of the contractors. The first updated quote is now $58K for what I want. He will include and install the 2 garage doors. The cheaper guy would sub that out, so no point. We got conditionally approved...

I will ask what is offered once I get the updated quotes. Still trying to get to the apples-to-apples point between them. Right now i think we are a apple to grapefruit. Main reason we are doing pole barn is the permitting is MUCH more laxed as its considered agricultural. No need for full blown...

They will be 6x6 pressure treated.

Thats one thing I need to ask about. I know they drill the hole, pour the concrete, once hardened place the pole onto the concrete pedestal. My understanding is placing the pole in the concrete would expedite rotting. Placing atop helps water run off if it gets in there. That being said i also...

You are correct, and in my hindsight I wish I went 12' as the camper measures 8' wide. Issue now is I didnt do enough site work to facilitate the extra width. Second, i would have to go back to the town for a permit revision. I will have the opportunity for "pull through" worst case but my...

Well its finally going to happen this year. I've been planning a pole barn build since 2021, but the COVID debacle, life, and everything else has gotten in the way. The initial plan was for us to build, but my work just takes too much time, family help has their own lives, and its tough on...

Wonder what the guy was thinking slapping that wheel on it.

This is the kinda truck I'm looking for after we don't need the 3rd row of the Yukon. Id pay max $1,500 if the underside and body is decently clean. I bet it wont sell for a long time, the non-original owner sounds to capitalize off of it.

It wont let me see, I tried to join but it asks a bunch of questions and requires approvals.

Made it back from the vacation on Saturday. Clocked another 1,900 miles on the Yukon with no fuss at all. Arriving back home I am just shy of 210K and need another oil change. The catch can was about 1/2 full per each leg down/back. Looks like a half oil, half water mixture. The drivers door...

That sucks to hear especially for the price of it. The rattles are so annoying to me.

So on the Dorman unit there was no clip per say. The bottom half actually has a pressed or punched area (see little blue mark in above pic) that rides in that groove. I tried prying them apart briefly, but the tolerance was actually so tight I couldnt get anything in there. My fear was mashing...

Good call Big T, they have a gmt800 full set for $53 plus bushings. I will purchase them when I revisit this. I even see oversize bushings too.

Ended up taking this 2-ish year old Dorman POS out. During body roll, flex, and stopping I can feel a weird binding in the column now with the very tight Wolff bearing. The slip joint in this intermediate shaft feels awful, damn near impossible to grease. Messed with it for a while, so will see...

Got them in, it is 10x better closing.
