Jds63 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Awesome stuff !!!! Looking forward to seeing your progress !
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 Well, didn't get much done today. Mother nature threw a flag on the play and drenched out most of the day. Finished the framing between the piers and did a little blocking but not nearly as much as I wanted to.
SirCranksalot Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Hop on the next flight. I'll pick you up @ the airport!!! Can I come too?? I've got a hammer and saw!!
manitoubass2 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Ill come too Im an excellent foreman???? Your a skilled man drifter?
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 Finally got all of the blocking done, in between showers today. Glad that part of the job is over as it's a real pain in the butt.
Sinker Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 I would have suggested doing that different, but that will work. Takes a lot of time though. Im seriously considering flying there. How long you figure until your done? Is all the material there up to the roof? It wouldnt take long at all to frame that up. A few good days and the roof would be going on. Looking good. I look forward to following this. Very cool stuff! S.
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 Hey Sinker, I'm on vacation until the 9th of August. Everything is on site to get it closed in. Here's a couple of materials pics.
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 Went back out after dinner and got a few floor joists installed.
Steelheadphycho Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 DANG! The pace your moving at is absolutly incredible for one man! With my ADD, I'd still be working on the chillax shack........ LOOK A SQUIRREL!

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) No work for me today. Went into town to resupply and bring more stuff out to the site. Needed another box of screws and a couple of cases of PL400 for the floor. Also brought out another 11 giant garbage bags of repurposed fiberglass insulation for the floor. Pretty sure I still have about 8 or 10 bags to go. Got near 20 out here now. The most important thing I needed was ice cubes for de rum drinks. Still had life left in my ice blocks frozen in milk jugs but my cubes ran out last night. According to the weather guy, tomorrow might be another down day. I guess I could catch up on my rest. Or drink more rum and watch moovees on my 'puter. Edited July 8, 2015 by DRIFTER_016
