That's a great showroom.  I'm not sure how the county would feel about me doing that with a carport.  I have a 18x41 carport that we park our camper under.  If we ever get rid of the camper it will definitely become my store room/showroom.

I don't know, Danny, seems like according to some of the stories I've heard about him, that Poston is rather tender (hearted)...

Thanks for the birthday wishes ya'll. I really appreciate it and appreciate each one of you.
Don't listen to WDH....the Georgia heat and humidity are getting to him.  :D :D :D :D

In fact the weather has slowed me down on my garage barn.
The more walls that go up it is slowly becoming a Microwave....tin roof and no air flow.

I may have to put a gable fan in the back gable just to pull air through.

Sorry I missed your birthday, ol' goat. Happy birthday! WDH, my wife got thus new pressure cooker/magic cooker gizmo, I bet it could soften up old goat. I'll try something a little easier first though, like a rutting mule deer buck😂

If you attach some of the foil backed insulation made specifically for metal buildings to the tin roof, it will help a lot.

Also, painting the roof with Cool White mobile home roofing paint will also help.  

Fans are a good idea.

An air conditioner would be nice.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

I am figuring on insulation now for the ceiling and definitely a fan system.

Happy Birthday and wish you many more,  and great looking building.  I found a fan like you are talking about on FB.  only gave 75.00 for it!
If you are enjoying what you are doing,  is it still work?

True words.  We have had people go into various stages of heat related distress in the summer heat, with one hitting the ground, me telling others they needed to get into their cars and start up the air conditioners, one guy that I made sit down on the spot because he really looked bad, etc.  
Although we and you and others are used to the heat, lots of folks aren't and can't take it during the mean days of summer.  We started putting our big floor fans out last week in the showroom for the customers to stand in front of, and now have a mini fridge with ice cold bottled water, free to any customer who wants it.  They use it too, because we went through a case of it just this last weekend.  I am now CPR and first aid certified.
From both a marketing and safety standpoint, the more comfortable the showroom, the more comfortable the customers.  We don't have air-conditioning in our place because of the big open doors, but many a day I've seen folks gravitate to the big floor fans and stand in the air flow in single file like a Conga Line.

It sounds like you are doing all the right things Yellow Hammer.
Thats why I bought my new fridge this year.
Thats all you can do is your best.....and keep an eye on them.

Its HOT......sawing jobs have slowed a little due to the heat.....but I keep telling myself
"one more board".

I finally got the inside wall done at the entrance.
The bottom part is nothing more that the first cut off of the logs I sawed the board and baton from for the top. I sanded just the dirt and crude off them and kept the darker look.
A cedar gable vent at the top and I was done.

The outside lumber on the walls are now done to 13% MC. Next week it looks like
baton will be going up.
