Looks Like You've Got Your Work Cut Out For You, Jeff!

GL!

kelmac07 · 07-15-2010, 08:11 PM

Plenty of hard work ahead.

G G · 07-15-2010, 08:13 PM

Ah heck, you can do it.

Just look at it as a GIANT Lincoln Log set. Put tab A into slot B.

Good luck with the building stitch. I did framing work building houses for a couple of years but seriously doubt I know as much as RGD about it. I look forward to progress pics, especially the photo of the end of your first day of work in the new shop when you kick back on the porch with a cigar and a cold one.

Semper Fi brother.

Maybe you should send RGD a plane ticket.
He could use a vacation.

TripleF · 07-15-2010, 08:53 PM

That's exciting. All the best bro!!

JaKaacH · 07-15-2010, 09:15 PM

Measure twice, cut once...

And wear your safety glasses.

Good luck, its no hill for a stepper like you.

No pictures today ... Spent most of the day opperating a 16 pound digging stick and shovel digging footings in this rocky hard packed clay we call Ground up here ... Monsoon rains moved in ... I'm done.

stitch · 07-21-2010, 08:33 PM

Wifey and I have hand dug nine footings, and are now stacking blocks and waiting for inspection ... our footing piers are squre, level and our corner to corner measurment is RIGHT ON! .... How the hell did we manage that ????
The rains have been Hard and every day .... Updated pictures soon.
I'm tired, Sore ... And I'm gonna sit on the portch with whiskey and smoke and watch the thunder storms for a while.

If you don't already have a nail gun and compressor... I would suggest one of these http://www.paslode.com/ . No cords, hoses, batteries to charge.... Or if you want to pay the shipping I can UPS you mine to borrow for awhile
