My helpers get distracted easily. Theyd rather be huntin. (Thats one of many dead rats my dogs have been getting since I tore down the shop)

Finished the flooring and put some posts up. I ran out of lumber so I had to go cut some more. Got a gnarly pine. First one Ive cut like it. Although I havent been cutting for very long.

I bet you had some sap on your blade from that log. ;)

WDH · December 01, 2011, 08:38:37 PM

And in your hair, eyes, nose, ears, clothes, feet, hands.................... :D.

That popped up in a hurry. Looking good.
Thanks for the pic.

Not one piece of wood in this building has traveled more than 500yds from stump to building. All on about 10 gallons of diesel and a pint of ATF.

jueston · December 05, 2011, 08:51:42 PM

its really coming togather now, lookin' good.

Slingshot · December 05, 2011, 08:58:44 PM

Gotta say it's looking a right smart better than the ole dirt floor
barn. But you better stop up all them rat holes.

Your not the only one, I`m thinking he has a crew of guys he is hiding on us, or way more daylight than we have in the north here. I do know it is faster working when it`s
+20 versus -20... :D
Looking great though

More progress. The project is almost complete. Im building the doors this weekend. Two 36" doors in front and one in the back. After that its just small jobs. Ive used mostly green lumber right off the mill for this project. But some of the lumber was dry. One lesson stands out the most for me. Dry lumber is a lot lighter than green lumber. Especially if you have to hold it up level by yourself. You dont need spinach to have popeye forearms. Green lumber will give them to you also. Heres a current picture.

Are you in for a teat working out of that versus the drirt floor . 8)

That looks to be one fine building you have there.

I just read through this thread, what a great project. Very well done. The OP reminds me of myself, I start my new shop in the spring after I do some heavy milling all winter. Great work and I look forward to seeing the interior.
