"The bad guys leave us alone." - Beach boys song
I guess that's what bad guys do, they don't leave you alone, lol. And that's what I keep telling them, LEAVE ME ALONE! lol. I didn't realize it was a futile request, lol.
So I decided to fit the platform to width. That being 8 feet.
Now the question is fitting it to length. Do I want it exactly 12 feet for ease of the plywood (CUtting 2x4s is a cinch), though the internal stud to stud length will be 11 feet 6 inches?
I'm looking at this RV and I'm thinking I could pretty easily pull off 12 feet. If I wanted to add more length, it should be trivial.
Which means I'd need to scrap all the 10 footers I got...
Welll.... I could still construct the floor frame as a 10x12, but only get enough plywood for an 8x12 and leave one side open. That should work.
I think I'll keep the two spare 2x6x8 footers for future projects. And the spare 10 footer.
So, the length will be sized to length. Stud shortening is in order. The goal is to shorten the length and width studs, avoiding cutting the plywood(sheathing/flooring).
Another craigslist girl hitting on me, they don't stop. lol. Wrote a rememanbrance piece in ode to the HEB chick. Didn't think craigslist was a venue for picking up chicks, lol. This was a wife emailing me because she probably felt like her kind was being affronted by my observations to what's happpened to these 50-60 year olds I know who've been thru divorces. They seem designed to financially and tenancy screw the guys over, more often than not, not sure if that's a fair trade? Maybe it is, just don't think that's happening in places like Saudia Arabia and Russia with true patriarchies. Anyway, screwing the horny wife (She didn't start off horny, it seemed like I was making her horny.), that was a characeristic experience. The HEB chick was still another dimension in terms of experiences, but still good overall. I think the characteristic part was the "emotional connection", because there was definitely that strong sense of yearning coming to the front and persisting.
"crude goodbyes and barbecues I like, but I like sweet more" she wrote.
Yep, not in my vocabulary. "Crude goodbyes" but it seemed illustrative, as in not heart-felt, sort of forced as if by custom.
I kind of wonder about the HEB chick. Maybe she wasn't really that horny to begin with, I was making her horny. But she seemed to be pretty horny compared to many girls right from the start... so, lol. I guess I made a horny girl hornier, lol.
