organizing lumber

[redbeard]

Been busy organizing my drying shed. My time consuming problem has always been retrieving long boards 14' and longer. So I made use of some 8x12x 20+ length beams. This is one of those developing ideas where it was just going to be a quick temporary rack. Well I had some home made racks that weren't being used and needed to be. So I added those to the sides  which then needed to be covered with a roof. Nothing is level and whole thing is on a grade. Thank goodness we don't have snow load to worry about. (Hopefully). Wind is more of a enemy. I did hurricane clip the joists and teco nailed $60 worth of beam straps. Anyway the long bench is my metal roof cutting table. I have almost finished cutting a huge pile of 24"x 36' long rusty galvanized roofing into dimensions from 28' all the way down to 3' lengths.

Nice job Jeff, I thought you got some snow there, must be not a lot at one shot and little accumulation.

You run a neat operation Jeff.  I wish that our upcoming trip had carried us a bit further West.  :-\  I would love to make a visit.
