• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

DRAW-BRIDGE IN THE CELLAR ? ? ?

BLUEKNIGHT911

Sadly Passed Oct 2024 - RIP
Yes Yes Yes, I obviously have way to much time on my hands, because I just finished up my last project....Since I acquired another Spyder and wanted to do more " MODS " on both this winter, and only having room for one in the cellar/basement.....I did the following....When I had my home constructed I wanted large scale access to the cellar. So I had a 16 ft. long x 8 ft.wide ramp built into the rear of the house so I could drive toys down and store/work on them etc. Well then I finished 2/3 of the basement as a rec room and only have a small space left as a work room, only room for one Spyder...So I bought 7- 12'x 2"X6" and 3 sheets of plywood and I built a platform for Spyder #2......Now in the Spring I plan to hang the end of the platform on 2"x 10"x 1/4" thick "L" brackets bolted to the house end joists....the other end I will pull up with a come-along........This is my Draw-bridge in the cellar.....:hun:....:agree:...:gaah:.....Mike....:thumbup:
 
KOOL ??????

:agree:
But the entire idea is just Too cool for school! :2thumbs:

Now I'm putting two 4 ft. ramp extensions on it so my girl-friend can park her Spyder behind mine.....I have to learn how to post pictures DARN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! :agree: :gaah:......Mike

A BIG DOORWAY

mike, just cut a new ( big ) doorway into the rec room. park new spyder in there. call it an art object.:rolleyes: much easier and cheaper.

Actually COZ, I did just that when I built the rec room, and the RSS is half-way thru the 4 ft. wide wall section that is hinged on one side to open....I needed room to build the platform so the Spyder had to go in there. :yikes: I'm not kidding:ohyea:.......and as far as cheaper....the project only cost me $ 90 and for three Spyder's in warm, dry winter storage....I think that's a bargain.....:yes::yes::yes:.....Mike
 
Draw bridge? Does the garage look like this?

REC ROOM

And if the girlfriend likes it like that; MARRY HER!

Bob, like I told Coz. It's not a "doorway", the wall actually moves on hinges....kind of like a " secret " hidden door kind of thing......Spooky Huh......And the RSS has already been moved out of the rec room, now that the " Platform" has been finished............The picture is posted below your " POST " by asp125 :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:......Mike :yikes: :thumbup:
