Pretty much decided to build a house, one of those energy efficient jobs. But man, it's going to be stick built but there's a lot of concrete flat work, basement and brick, that shii is expensive. I'm going to have to sell this one first and acquire camper to live out of for awhile on site to cover costs. Like to at least cash out what I can. Iduno, -looking at property fronting state land, secluded. Figure I better do it now, -getting too old for this crap lol. Retire in 2 years, hoping to finish by then.
Textured walls is the "in thing" around here lately. So, I took to that myself to see how I could do. Also used my other (smaller) Wagner spray gun last night. WOW. How in hells name did I paint anything without this before?
Also, you asked previously about overspray on the Wagner guns, Brew. I did this to show you. There is about a 3/8" gap between the sheetrock and door frame. But yeah, very little overspray.

May as well get what you want while you can. I'm inching closer and closer to putting mine up for sale. I'm nearing completion of my basement project.

Thanks. Had plenty of fixer uppers and built one in the past early on. Just a spec home that I made mods to along the way. One that I'm going to incorporate into this one is 2x6 exterior walls, insulated the hell out of it. It was cheap to heat and cool, really made a big difference. The garage was the same way. To bad the Ex got that one...dangit! Haven't done a new build since. Just fixers. Acquired a ton of experience since then though, might as well put it to use.
Looking at some pull behinds. The 150 can pull a decent size camper I guess, just to move it here and there won't be a big deal. Probably should get a 250 or 1 ton for supplies during construction. Iduno, lumber companies will drop for you as well.

I got the companies to drop the lumber at my door, or where the door is now, just to save some time.
