Looks Easy Right?47 viewsNope, not so easy.. This is something that takes a lot of getting used to. Especially when you prefer an IH/Dresser TD-7/8 and are using a Cat D2C. Completely different animal.Rudi

No Snow Makes it Easier45 viewsThe wx has been weird. Last weekend we had a foot of snow by end of Sunday. Tuesday we had warmer weather. Wednesday we had another Nor'easter -- 100 mm's of rain... Yesterday when this pic was taken it was -7C or so with a wind chill as well.Rudi

All 16 Trusses On the Roof45 viewsAll of them are now nailed into place. On the West Gable, I just have to build the gable end box, gable end wall and ladders. Then, once that is sheathed in and the roof done, we should be weathertight pretty much.Rudi

|
All The Trusses Are Up!45 viewsA bit of snow, it was a little warmer today, but now at about 1700 hrs or 5pm, the temp has dropped again from around 0 to -4C. Hopefully tomorrow more strapping will be up and we will have made the ladders and put up a few sheets on the roof..Rudi

New Pine Clad Doors44 viewsNew doors, 1-1/2" rigid foam insulation in a 2" x 2" frame. 27" x 27" thermopane was supposed to go in, but all 3 recycled windows cracked. New 1/8" glass will have to do. $50.00 for 2 panes.. ouch!Rudi

Don't Hit the Shop Dummy!44 viewsI have to get as close as I can to the shop without digging up the rubber barrier or hitting the building. I was able to get within a couple inches on a couple passes. This one was close enough grading. I did get closer the day before when compacting.Rudi

New Doors on the Shop43 viewsNow that the snow is gone a bit, we took the tarp off to finish sheathing around the doors. This is just before we put the tarp back on. The doors need to be stained or finished clear.Rudi
