[Teri]

Looks like the girls are doing a fine job to me!!   8) 8) 8)

[Jeff]

Teri, thats because there aint no roof and you live in Florida and are used to that look.  ;)


Just kiddng. If it weren't for them, there wouldn't even be a floor yet.

 :D :D :D :D


Actually I remember doing that kind of stuff  many moons ago.   ;D

I've  helped build a couple of our houses and 3 barns.

I'll put Teri up against most home DIY'ers. Just don't ask for small measurements on the ruler.  : :

[Jeff]

Whats a matter harold, dont you know what two little marks past the half mark is?

[Teri]

We are not even going there!!!!   

[junkyard]

One of them little marks scant. Or two of the big marks fat.

A homeowner took a friend of mine aside, " I don't know if the new guy is going to work out, I don't think he can read a tape  "  "Why?" he asks. "They were fitting a piece of casing and he asked for 36 and three quarts less a blond short to short" 

My friend allowed that he thought the new guy might catch on fast and work out just fine  .

Its looking good guys. Time to put a lid on that box  ;D.

If outside to outside of osb is 16' rafter length is 105-3/8" plumb to plumb.
If outside to outside of osb is 16'1" rafter length is 105-15/16" plumb to plumb.

[Jeff]

Well, this is the way I did it, and its solid. I'll put it up against 6 foot of snow. I still have some framingto do for the back gable window, but almost ready to finish sheeting.  The center beam runs out the front and supports the canteleverd roof and loft.

[Teri]

Lookin' Good!!!!  ;D

[SAW MILLER]

Nice job Jeff.Don't know how you got it done with all them cipherin recomendations!! :D :D :D

[Jeff]

Here are the kids sheeting.

Well, I appreciatte all the cyphering, but honestly, I just did it my way. I put to braces up to hold the ridge board, held up two rafters and marked them, then used them for patterns for each side.

[Teri]

I think you need a couple pieces of tin on the roof for when it rains.             That way when your out there, you can get a good nap in!!  :D :D :D

[Jeff]

If tin were cheaper then shingles, I would consider it.  I guess I'll have to hire it shingled. I aint able to do that. Furby, ya need a job?

[Teri]

How much is the pay?  ;D

                                                                                                                         Just had a refresher course on shingling this past winter on our roof!

[Jeff]

It pays enough to get you gas money that MIGHT, maybe, get you half way here.  :D

[Teri]

In other words...I would have to "thumb" the rest of the way up there and back!  :D :D :D

[Jeff]

Yea, but we'd feed ya and letcha sleep in da shed! 8)

[maple flats]

Always say, "putty and paint, putty and paint makes a carpenter what he ain't." Looken good there boss and girls. You did just fine. My take on steel is that it IS cheaper, over your lifetime.  8) 8) 8)

[Teri]

8) 8) 8) 8)

You got grits??????   :D :D :D

[Minnesota_boy]

You bring that building and the shingles over here and I'll shingle it for free.  ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)

[Jeff]

I would like to proudly add, that all of the lumber there, other then of course the OSB, and two treated two by tens, was sawn by Tammy and I out of logs we hauled home from a couple different locations.  8)   It is COOL TO HAVE YER OWN MILL!

[Furby]

DON'T EVEN MENTION SHINGLES!
Started the tear off at my Grandma's today, yup CK, I'm stupid all right!!!
