Engine Piston Options

Hah! 85F is 0900 out here some days. I simply don't ride the kz when it's hot outside.

Back on topic, I greatly appreciate your pistonology thesis.

Keep it going!

How is the house renovation coming along, Kawboy?

Getting down to the short strokes now. Soffit Facia and eavestrough done.


Aluminum siding in the peak done. Non-vented soffit in the peak done. Ceiling fan hung but assembly still to finish. Just wanted to get the scaffold dismantled so I can return it tomorrow. Ceiling fan hung 16ft up so I needed a scaffold to finish the soffit and hang the fan. Now the motor on the ceiling fan is only 11ft off the floor. @!#!@#$
 

Building code required me to install an exterior light fixture where the steps will go so i had to cut out half a brick, then fish wire and install a box. Exterior light done now as well.
Windows ordered last Monday and will be 5 weeks out.
Gas line run under the deck to feed a fire table.
I'll start skirting the deck tomorrow while waiting for the windows.

Hard to believe i started with this.
 

And this was at the beginning of June putting up the LVL beam (28ft long and 16ft in the air)
 

Freaking good work KB!
 

Very impressive.  It will stand as another monument to your wide ranging abilities, Kawboy, there to be enjoyed after the long days you’re going to be spending on the creation of your special 1300.  Now that will be an exciting project, and one I’m looking forward to!

I still think it's an attached work-shop.  The question is:  "When do you tell the wife" ......or do you wait for her to go shopping and get all the bike stuff into it before she gets back

And that "ceiling light" ?   A very cleverly disguised winch for removing the engine?

LMAO. Good thing Pat doesn't read the posts on this site I've already told her that when our numbers come in on Lotto Max or 649, there's a brand new fully outfitted machine /welding /fabricating shop in the works and it will be attached to a brand new Net Zero built house. You think the 3 season room is worthy, wait to you see the Net Zero house we design build. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I did load test the ceiling fan receptacle box and i rated it for 250 lbs. ( I hung off of it)
