I don't know what he is doing yet.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe...

He's going to build a flying fox over the swimming pool so you guys can take target shots at a moving furby while he flies past, and see who can knock him into the pool! 

What do you think?

Oh, and, if that's NOT what it is, maybe that's what it should be!

Well, let's see.  Given Jeff's penchant for artsy endeavor, I would say it is going to be a roadside, self-service point of sale device for his artwork.  Built high, as to solicit only the most serious patrons most apt to honor the self-pay system.    ;D

You might be right.  He deals only in elevated ware and surrounds himself with the highest of the upper crust.

Maybe those poles will be put up to hang up the long winded members at the piggy roast just so there's enough of a breeze flowing through the area. :D :D

that puffball puff dust is used in fireworks, when my brain gets over the heat I might even remember what it is called.

Be careful Tammy.....I got into all sorts of trouble using someone elses name ;)

My guess is it is a .....what the hell is a puff ball???? :P

farmerdoug

I think that if that 36" puff ball is ripe and you stomp on it you will think you are in hell too. :D :D :D  It is a fungus fruit/mushroom that grows in a ball form.  When ripe they go puff with their spores when you step on them.

If Jeff were a Hoosier I would know that he is building a b-ball court.  But seein as he is now a weekend Yooper I'm thinkin those are poles to mark the cabin-to-be doors so he will know where to start diggin when he comes for his weekend getaway in January.  :D

Jeff.
That invention should not be posted on a public forum before you have the sales organisation ready and the supply organized. We here in Europe are much closer to the market so we can outcompete you before you have gotten started. and before you have gotten the first unit sold. If you pay me the prize of a sawmill, I will keep the secret, and otherwise i will contact accuintances in the wooden element export business on monday morning. They will surely pay me for "my" idea.

For those of you who did not understand, it is the foundation of a one family house for the English market. The platform is obviously the floor and the poles are there to keep the floor above water level. They will come in two versions with 4 and 8 m poles respectively. ;D




Timburr

TW, we're having a drought now; it hasn't rained for 1½ days. ;D
Sense is not common

Mooseherder


TW

Aye. Oswestry suffers from drought and is consequently a four metre pole area.



By the way. I feel really sorry for your flooding trouble but I am too far away to be of any help.

Timburr

Such dry repartee on a subject saturated with an excess of wetness! :D

Oswestry is quite relieved. We are on the foothills of the Welsh mountains, so we don't suffer from flooding, but I have great sympathy for those who do.  Why, oh why do our government boffins allow planning permission to build on flood plains?  A distinct lack of  common sense!

The only poles we have in our 'family homes' speak polish  ;D
Sense is not common

Furby

Well, it's not what I had thought he was building, but it still is a Furby stand and with some rails added, it would make a great place to camp out. ;)
Might have to give it a try sometime! :)

Jeff

Try it next week Furb.  You could set a tent up on it. The tent can be your rails.  You just gotta share it with the local cougar if she decides to stash his kills up there.  :)


Just caught a ride home and got lots to do. I'll post some photos later, but for now I'm burning daylight.

Take a look at the quad tracks though and you can tell they've done it before.

Tammy and I worked again this past weekend on the "project"  :)

Here is a more complete pictorial of what we have been doing.

Great Nephew Aaron and I skid cedar poles out to create the legs for our platform stand

THese are called "elevators"  Tammy got them for me for my birthday. Makes for creating an easy elevated stand. Designed for 4by4s but I used 12 ft cedar poles that I squared the ends with a chainsaw.


I Built the basic platform and secured the elevators to it in the cabin yard.


Hauling the materials to our property along with a couple bags of corn for the feeder. This was a heavy load and I got stuck crossing through the ditch onto the powerline. Had to unload it all and then load it back on.


Sticking the legs in and securing some temporary cross supports that I'll replace with longer stronger cedar poles. Pete and I tipped it up after that. It wasn't lite, but it was very doable.


20 minutes after getting on site, we had a standing platform and I began decking the top.


This is how we left the platform the first day.


Tammy and I building the stairs/ladder hybred.  I like to build them this way as it has the benefits of the wide step, yet you can still use the sides to hang on.


Beginning to build the blind with materials we sawed out of the "Furby log"


Hauling the walls to the stand.


I'll tell ya what, I was sore after pushing those walls up the stairs.

Tammy and I taking a break


The stand as we left it this past weekend.  Ready for some more sheeting a roof and windows. We had the windows all framed in and ready for the windows we found at the resale shop in pickford for $1 each. Each window disassembled into two horizontally sliding panes. The blind will have 7 windows, two on each side other then one on the door side which faces the steps costing a total of $4.  :)  We still need to install some more bracing to replace the temporary 1by4 braces. The roof will be steel. We have enough scrap leftovers from the cabin to lay together to make the roof.

Looks like the guest cabin is coming right along! ;D

Gonna have a problem with the steel roof scaring the deer from the noise when it rains and such?

Jeff

They eat grass along the outside of outhouse so I doubt it.  Most rain noise is in a building or structure, not around it.  You step outside and it sounds like everything else that gets rained on.

Actually Furby, it's probably bigger then many tents at 6ft square and a guy could stay in there. Good place to stay a a step or two above these critters I caught on the trail cam last week.  The bears have heard it is safe to come home as Jeff does not have a permit this year. ;D








These guys are still around too. They might want to join ya on the platform though.

You guys have been busy.  ;D

Looking down the line from the stand, is that toward the main road? Is the stand out of view of road traffic?  ;) Glass, hmmmm.....something to break.  pull_smiley


Nice looking ........ ........ bear. The coons reminded me of one dark morning I drove up the road to work. I seen several sets of eyes in a chokecherry bush as I approached with the car. Just as I got up close, a family of coons scampered across the road.  ;D

That picture is looking down the powerline.  The road is the other direction. The stand is set back off the line enough that very very little can bee seen of it from the road. Just the edges can be seen past the spruce and mostly because the wood is so white right now.  Its about 600 feet back to the road.

Looking good there,Jeff.Nice pictures you have.Is the town going to tax you on that house?  :D  Windows and all.No heat? I don't mind people walking on my land,but boy when people drive or even park on my land.....Last year my stepson thought I was going to get into a fight and came  out of the house to help me when the guy drove up to my house to say he was sorry after I told him to get out of my field with his truck at 600 feet away.  >:( And come to find out I knew him too,but still don't matter.I'm very fussy with my land.Park beside the road.It's a dead end dirt road here.I don't drive over it unless I'm working on it.Going to TRY to keep people out of the field this year.It's a struggle every year.Going to put my some ribbon frencing from the horses. At least I will know who has drove through it by the frencing in thier grill.

Its a moultrie and it came from walmart.  $99  It takes pretty good photos but is a battery hog. the rechargable 6 volt only lasts about 36 photos.  I see in Dunham Sporting goods they have a camera that takes 4 c-cells or an external 12 volt. Its about 20 dollars more.
