The rewarding thing is that all this lumber was sawn out on the Logosol this past summer. When its completed, he'll have a cooking room, and a bottling room. The smaller bottling room will have a shed roof, and there will be a 6' cupola added with vent flaps on the ridge to let the steam vapors release
Oh boy! This is fun...gimmie some more!! Got plenty of room (on the otherside of the bank, for more)!
Boy do I hate a cluttered workbench! What a mess
Just took this today Mar 6, standing in front of my saw mill with a log on the bed waiting for this snow depth to melt down a tad
The melt down has finally begun! Yahooooo now I can get started on projects I've been aching to do before I get involved in the shop building. First item is a new dedicated hen house. Instead of a handful of chickens, the wife now wants a variety and maybe 2 dozen. A new hen house will also keep the goats in their own barn and with one pregnant and due in April, we'll need the extra room for the arrival. I had some Hemlock stuck that I sawed up just before the winter set in. Still isn't dry enough yet, but it will do. I also picked up a French door insert I found at the dump. It will make an excellent window and allow allot of that southern light in the winter months. The boards were pretty wide, ranging 10" to 13" so it ought to go up pretty fast. Its only 5' by 8' with a shed roof and the building will face southwest, catching all that low sun. I bought me a small portable Grizzly planer for a couple hundred and a scissor adjustable outfeed roller. Man, I should have got one when I first got here. I can't believe how many times I've used this so far. Its not the thousand dollar planer, but for the money anyone can plane lumber and with this one, just a small cut at a time and it does a fine job! I sawed everything at 1", and I want to rabbet the joints on the boards to have a shiplap joint like I did on the Goat barn. This way, if there is any shrinkage, the 1/2 rabbet should stil seal out draft like it did on the other barn. First, I'll run the stock through to get a good flat surface and uniform thickness so I have good joints. I planeed everything down to 7/8"
