Thank you soo much for the wishes....

 

so I took some water to them over my lunch....and ironically they were having lunch....so the timing was perfect....the smile on their faces was just priceless....

I asked them if they drank beer and am thinking will take a 18pack'er' for them on Friday evening-ish....

anyway some updates:

Day 14 - 08/14/12 - Basement floor and Garage - Concrete-'d'
So its been 2 weeks since they started building the house....It was barren land just 2 weeks back....and this is how she sits right now





wifey got a little paranoid so I blocked off the street intersection details LOL....i hope none of your browsers cache

 

So which room will mine be?

 

^^^ your pick Morgi

and dont pick the master bedroom

the next National meet, you guys dont need to book a hotel

 

 

Came in here expecting to see pics of giant fish

 

ghar = house in Hindi

Hindi = Indian for the ignorant....hhahaha

I hate it when people tell me "so how do you say it in Indian"....umm well there is no language called Indian

 

PARTY HOUUUUUSSEEEEEE!

Can't wait dude! Also Morgan I already have dibs on the basement.

 

Thanks Ty....

 

Day 15 - 08/15/12 - Framing Begins

Here are some pix from yesterday. Went to the house at around 7PM and snapped some pix....

here you can see the front of the house....we have the entrance which is right in the middle....on the right is the formal dining room....on the left is the wall of the garage....


here is the side....you can see the garage in here on the right....on the left is the wall for the office/downstairs bedroom


zoomed in pic of the garage


zoomed in pix of the front door


those guys a hauling ass....

 

Dude...I can't believe how fast it's going up!
To be honest...was thinking Alligator Gar too...then thought, it must be INDIAN for something related to house.

 

btw Ty you know right the basement is unfinished? That and a lift in the garage will be my first 2 projects

PS: i hope the wifey agrees on the lift

haha I didnt think about Alligator Gar at all i think the pronunciation is completely different and hence didnt think about it LOL....

and yeah they are like on steroids or some like that hahah....i hope they dont make us close on the house early LOL

 

Wait, you're brown?

 

yezzir....

infact got the same name as Sly Rascal and another mod

- Anil

 

Hi Anil nice progress so far


-Akash

 

Thanks "AAAAAAkaaaasshhhhh" (Dil Chahta Hai)

 

oh god i have a female friend that says that to me all the time. so annoying


Glad to see some Indians around here though. "I thought I was the only one!"

 

Anil!!! These guys are on 'roids. So much progress already!

Um... Idw to be left out... black guy here. -David

Technically im brown too!

 

There may not be as many now as there were before (people moving on to other cars, etc.) but there are still a lot on AZ, myself included.

-Amar

 

WTF...you're putting a lift?!!??

if I wasn't jealous before...OMG...that's awesome!

 

hahah....I thought the same until I started going by Anil and then found out there are millions of us

hey dont judge me, we love multiplying

hahah....yezzir you are....your just a little more tanned

hey Amar

Steven Bell is to be blamed on this one he send me a youtube video of "how to DIY a lift"....I have been thinking....

I am actually thinking between these 2 lifts....the first one will eat all my garage space....am actually digging the second one but its tooo expensive...:

will post some more pix from yesterday' progress in a little bit

 

I like #2. And in the grand scheme of life, it's not that much, especially if you actually use it.

 

You can get cheaper scissor lifts...

 

i like #1 for the versatality but #2 is awesome if you dont have much space....I dont wanna sacrifice my 2 car spots for the #1 lift....

we have a side entry 3 car garage and am looking at the floor plan details to see
if #1 will fit fine....

hahah yeah thought about that Morgan....but the problem with those is getting under the car and working on something is a PITA...see


http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/At...e-Midrise-Lift

 

If you want full access to everything, youll need a 2 post lift.

But the scissor jack gives you plenty of room to work on everything you really need to. Paul has one just like the one pictured and even uses it when building exhausts.

Plus, you can lift it up all the way and put a board or something on it and have a big table to work on. You could also cut out an appropriately sized hole in the garage floor and since the lift into it, so it wont get in the way when not in use.

 

How about this one?

anyway this is all on the list of "wants"

not sure if I will be able to get this or when I will be able to get this....so please dont keep your hopes that high....I am thinking of becoming a part time mechanic....if that goes well then yes this will all be in the near future....if not then just for my car + wifeys car am not gonna buy a lift LOL....

EDIT: Morgan, how does Paul work on an exhaust with that scissor lift? damn, man got skills....

 

That lift scares me for some reason.

 

^^^ hahah yeah it did scare me too....thats why I didnt "short list" it LOL....but if you have minimum space, it seems like its a good deal....

Lets see which way i swing....

 

Lookin great! They sure are building your house with the quickness.

 

Thank you sir...

we had a very hot summer and I think these guys are making the most of the good weather spree we got going here....

 

x3

 

x5.

 

So they don't put OSB on the outside, then tyvek the exterior?

 

Fixed. That's how you actually spell his name.














jk buddy

 

^

I know where you live Anil

Looks awesome, it's gonna be fun watching it be built. You may regret making that Nat'l meet offer, though. What will your neighbors think when 50+ Acuras pull up to your house?

Some people say I have a brown name.

 

How do you pronounce your name, anyways?? Like "Amon", or "A-man"?? I've always thought the latter...hope I'm not wrong

 

yeah i walked thro my garage and doesnt seem like i have enough space for the lift...i wish Steven would have put that in my head a little bit earlier

haha gald you took it in a sporting manner David....my neighbor tells me the same things...he is like "dude am a tad bit more tanned than you are"

say what? what is OSB? and Tyvek?



ahah am cool with people knowing where i live (i know am gonna regret that LOL)

about the offer for the meet, dude i dont give a flying f*uck to what the neighbors think....imma have my peeps over during the meet....we gonna party

If i think am pronouncing it right its, "um-man"

 

My family calls me Ah-MAN my friends call me uh-MON.

 

Aziners call you :aman:

 

Definitely! We have year-round tans, so we're automatically cooler.

PARTY @ ANIL'S! Man your wife is going to kill you!



I always thought it was Ah-Mahn (uh-mon). That's how I read it. Still a cool name. You have a brown name dude.
