My New Show Room

[Magicman]

He has fenced da Goat out !!   :D

[Nomad]

     I'm with FishPharmer on this one.  Poston is being modest (believe it or not!)  He's doing a great job on that conversion.  Top quality workmanship, too.

[Magicman]

We also have had the pleasure of viewing his operation.  There is always much kidding here on the FF but the fact is, he has a top notch setup, but don't tell him that I said so.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

David,

  You did not mention how you were going to display the mantels. 

Don't put the cart before the horse. ( old saying ).
I'm just now trying to get the front done.  :D
But I will show you later.  ;D

[YellowHammer]

That does look real nice.  Good job.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Everyone of you know this.....it is so hard to get something done for your self if you have a sawmill.
This is a holiday weekend and the folks was coming in pretty steady off and on to pick up lumber or order Pine siding.

I did manage to get a little something done on my showroom but not much.

I thought about my gable vent all morning. On the inside will be screen to keep birds from building in the place.
On the outside, I built a 1 piece vent out of Cedar and to spruce it up a little and I did a Cedar weave. It really stands out......zoom in for better look.
Got the right side trimmed out in Cedar too.



 

 

And last I put....what I call wind brackets so when my doors are opened or closed a burst of high wind won't blow the bottom of the doors away from the building. Could save some repairs.



 

 

Now....waiting on Monday. Y'all have a good holiday! 

[John S]

Beautiful Job!  It must be nice to live in a state where you are free to do things on your own property.  

[WDH]

Once you get it all closed in, put in a couple of large room dehumidifiers to help keep your inventory dry.

My residence is in a subdivision.....can't do things there.
But across the road is our farm. As long as we are classified as a farm we can build about anything. ( barns and sheds ).
If we need power....then we need a permit and inspection.

Danny I really never thought of that. Thats why I like you....My ace in the Hole.
I will do it!

David,

   You just ain't being no fun at all >:( >:(

    Don't you remember the old prayer "Lord give me patience. Give it to me now." 

[Crossroads]

Wow, you really made that tin box look sharp! The cedar weave is a nice touch. Well done sir 

[Joey Grimes]

Very nice I like the weaving on the ridge vent.

[thecfarm]

Like the weave.
Like the wide boards too. 8) 
WM here in Chesterville,ME has a couple buildings done with,I think, 2 foot wide boards. Looks good and goes up quick.

[Bruno of NH]

This weave you all speak of is this the goats hair?
It looks like he has a lot of it  :D

[Larry]

A very attractive vent.

[Percy]

I needed a cleaner place for displaying Mantels, finished slabs, unique pieces of wood, birdhouses, benches, tables, etc.

So I took my carport which was just a catch all for stickers, junk, my trailer and anything else and me and Kirk cleaned it out.

The size is 20 x 20 floor.

Right down the middle I have Pine boards that are 2 x 22 inches wide. So far thats the first thing that makes people drool.  :D

This will be our new show room.
We are no where near being finished but I will post updates along the way.

I'm trying to heal my shins from walking between the 2 x 10's putting the floor down. (see pic).

I'm letting the siding air dry before adding baton. Yes the floor will have cracks after drying but thats the country way.

Hope you like it. each pic is sorta self explanatory but I'll answer anything.
Its nice to own a Sawmill.  



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will be starting on the sides soon. Putting in lots of hours trying to keep up with sawing and building but Kirk puts in hours of work on his days off from the State. Couldn't do it with out him.
My plans are to build a fake fireplace in side to display Mantels for customers.
More to come.  

That is awesome. Love the cedar sliding doors...and your attention to detail is "goatworthy"(new word I think). The way the knot pattern is parellel to the roof line on the siding on both sides of the door is really cool. Might take a while for your customers to get inside the showroom 

[barbender]

"Goatworthy"😂😂😂

[Southside]

Any thought to charging an admission fee?  Tell them it's worth a SGU to step inside if they like what they see on the outside.   ;D

[WDH]

He is the spike knot King.

It is really hard trying to work on this project with all the rain we are having.
The amount of rain we have had in the last week is unheard of and more is coming.

But I got a few hours in today and was soaked to the bone when I went home.

I got the front Cedar trim completed. Those round corners drove me crazy.


 

But thank goodness I turned the corner and have started down the side. The windows I'm installing are freebies from a contractor friends pile of used windows.



 

The cedar trim is really RED from the rain. When it dries I will oil it real good.  ;D



 

 

More rain coming tomorrow. 

[Southside]

Those round corners drove me crazy

Must have been a short trip...:D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Almost forgot.....this guy came pretty low over the mill today on his way home from the NASCAR Race in Charlotte, N.C.



 

[Hilltop366]

The amount of rain we have had in the last week is unheard of.

Naw, that was a few years ago in the fall, I remember cuz I was at Myrtle Beach for a week and it rained all week, when we went across the street to the beach the water was half way to my knees in the street.

The first time we saw the sun all week is when the airplane went above the clouds the day we left. ;D

[Skipper11A]

Poston, I really like your woven vents, that's thinking outside of the box!  But, sadly, I'm concerned that your siding might fall off due to a lack of nails. 





For those without a sense of humor, this is called a "joke".  If I may, a "goat joke".
