Yup, that be home!54 viewsLooking at the house from the top of the barn. Interesting perspective.Rudi

What Implements are there?49 viewsKind of interesting view out of the west window. Which implements are visible?Rudi

What am I missing ???60 viewsRoger is trying to figure out what is happening I guess.... notice that all the tops of the poles have been cut? Bruce is my sivilculturist -- in other words, he cuts all the trees on my land that I can't do. He has years of experience in the bush.. but his trade is as a machinist.Rudi

West Wall57 viewsThe West Wall is almost finished sheathing, just the peak of the gable left to sheath. These are the recycled 4'-0" x 10'-0" sheets of Douglas Fir that are from billboard sign faces. Already, the shop is about 10% warmer. The left over paper etc., will probably peel off over the winter.. and I will just have a bit of waste to pick up.Rudi

Trusses Almost Done62 viewsAll 16 of the trusses are almost done. This is the first 24 foot section of the trusses for the pole barn and new shop roof. You can see the end that will sit on the exterior wall (by the green tarp), with knee wall frame section that will be sitting on the beam and the loose tails sitting on the roof. The loose tails will have another 8 feet gusseted into them with an end plate and foot plate to anchor to the existing roof. Rudi

The Stripping Crew58 viewsMike "Glassman" Bourgeois and my eldest daughter Sabrina "Bri". I could not do any of the projects around her without my girls. Bri has been involved in every major project for the last 20 years.. Right from when she was 3 and helping Dad build the house!Rudi

Starting to look like a barn52 viewsThat is one big roof... 960 square feet of sheathing.. 31 feet x 32 feet .. it takes a lot of sheathing, strapping, trusses and extensions.Rudi

|
South Wall51 viewsThis will be the warmest wall of them all. With an almost directly southern exposure, this area is warm even on the coldest days. With 80 square feet of thermopane, this should help keep the pole barn warm and almost warm enough to work without extra heat. You can see the pad I build with the Cat D2C the other day for storing my implements that do not fit inside the pole barn.
