Looking south45 viewsThis is my road that we have been building for the last 8 years. An interesting view from the peak of the pole barn.Rudi

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

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

New Framing for Doors are going in50 viewsLooked right, felt right but had to be redone. The shop has undergone some major upheavals and the corner isn't exactly square like it once was. At least now the rough opening is square and the wall insert is square... the fillers.. oh well.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

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

|
North Wall43 viewsThis is the coldest wall, and also the wall with the most moisture damage from snow buildup and rain shedding onto the bottom of the wall. That is all being addressed by the 45 mil and thicker rubber dams that I am placing around the building. This will be a standard procedure now on all of my exterior structures.Rudi

|
Oooopps.. forgot a Hole73 viewsThis is the last section of roof that needs to be built. The last 32 square feet that needs to be finished. You can see the truss extensions under the strapping. The sheathing is Douglas Fir 1/2" 4'x10' sign faces. I like recycling a lot.Rudi

|
Oooops!48 viewsYou can see the peak where the shingles were repaired a couple years ago. The winds get so bad, that it rips the shingles right off and they are all glued down with ashphalt based mastic. The last open section of ladder will be about 13 " wider than the primary ladders, which are standard 16" wide. This will be a bit easier to finish the roof, and a lot faster. With the use of support legs, it will be as strong as building a partial gable end wall.Rudi
