Workin' Down @ The Lake


Recommended Posts

 

Looks awesome bud! Will there be more and larger windows facing the lake?

 

Those 2 little windows in the front are just temporary.

There will be 4 5'X8' windows across the front. :D

 

Where ever you see bare wood is a window. ;)

Got my front wall beam finished, also got the scaffolding done. It works great!! :good: :good:

Also got my gable end ridge braces in place and have mostly completed assembly of the ridge board. It's going to be interesting trying to get the 41' long piece of 2X12 eighteen feet up in the air!!!! :w00t:

Well it took most of the day but I got the ridge board in place and secured!!! :thumbsup_anim: :thumbsup_anim:

Took about 2 1/2 hours to rig the crane and about 3 1/2 to raise the ridge and secure it.

I figure the board weighs in at about 250#.

 

Think I'll do light work the rest of the day and start rafters tomorrow.

Only my mutt is here and he's no help really.

Except he lets me know when Yogi is in the hood!!! ;)

 

Cleaned up all my construction debris and whipped up a set of temporary stairs for gettin' in and out of the crib!!!

No more climbing the ladder to get in and out. :thumbsup_anim:

Got my 4 gable rafters up and in position.

Took longer than expected as I had to work to get my master rafter fitting properly.

Lots of up and down the scaffolding with a 16' 2X10 testing and marking.....................

The good news is the rafters all fit perfectly.

Time for dinner and then see how many I can get done after dinner.
