Change in situation = Construction questions
I’m a DIY type of guy. I have the skills and ability to do every part of a home build. from plumbing & Electrical, to insulation, framing, and concrete. I can even do metal work. Not that I’d be doing all of these myself, but I know enough people in the trades to be either get them to help, or hire them out for the job.
And that brings me to the actual question. I’m trying to figure out if I want to build a stand alone house, and the build a shop later, or build a shop that is large enough that I can build a 1600 sq ft home in the second story. I have shop plans that had 800 sf rec room, and 800 sf of unfinished storage in the plans. I could easily convert that into living space. But want I want to know is would that be more expensive than just building the house on its own? The cost of the metal shop structure without electrical & plumbing was about $35k. and I figured it would cost me another $40k for concrete, framing, plumbing, electrical, doors, etc. to finish out the build for the rec room & storage. I’m hoping to do a 3 bedroom home in the second floor now if I’m going to get the cost savings I’d need to be able to pull it off. I know a lot of that will come down the the materials I use in the home construction. What I’m asking is if anyone thinks it could be possible to do the entire build for under $150k?

What do you guys keep in your ATV rack bag
I just bought a rear pack for my Rancher and wondered what you kept in there or what stays in there for sure for every ride. I will be using mine for hunting but I do need ideas of what general things I should have in there? I am thinking plugs in case of flat tires, small socket set, tp, compass, I don’t have an 12volt outlet yet but I was thinking a mini air compressor. what else do you guys keep in there?

07 700 problems
Ok here my problem i got an 07 700 grizz went rode about 2 weeks ago castle nut came off and tore up da bearin. It sat on trailer for about 2 weeks waitin to get da bearin in. Finally got and replaced. Went to take bike off trailer and battery was dead. This is da first time da battery has ever gone dead or even gotten low on bike. So pushed it to shed put charger on it charged up fine. Only to find that when i turned da key on my pod screen only da back lights lit up wit no numbers or anything else also my hmf fuel optimizer wasnt comin on tried to start it and the bike will turn over but will not start disconnected optimizer and plugged back up factory way and still wont start dont hear the fuel pump kickin on either. Checked all fuses all were good but changed them all anyways. Fuel pump relay is clickin when key is turned on. Sprayed throttle body cleaner in and it will start and run for a couple seconds.
I am guessin dat there is a connection wit da screen not workin and da fuel pump not workin but i cant figure it out any and all help is greatly appreciated

The rifles I normally hunt with are short. Ruger Carbine 308 or 708 with 16.5 in barrel. I have a gun holder deal if I want to take a longer one. I think the 2 rugers are 35 inches long.
Also wondering if anyone replaced the low beams with LED’s and which ones.
