Mill Shed Finally Done

[tgalbraith]

Well, I finally got my mill out of the weather. I will try to give you a blow by blow report. (just goofed the last one up)



 
Got my posts set, 6x6 pressure treated, set below frost line.


 
Here is the detail of the beam extension I made, to clear my log deck. The main headers are "engineered" floor joists.


 
Here, the rafters and bracing are  installed.

The finished product.  I still would like to run electric to it. 8) 8)

Happy for you!  looks great!

NICE!! Looks good. How long of a span is that? I started my sawshed a few months back. Got some red dirt, got it all spread, and that's as far as I got. I need to figure something for a 20' span for the log deck.
I would say absolutely run electric out there.
     Good job.

Having shelter is a nice thing.

  Nicely done. A little improvising can go a long way.

Good job mate, a mill worth owning is a mill worth a roof. Does old Ollie have the moxie in hardwood.?? Frank C.

I think it will take anything the mill will handle. Have,nt hit anything yet that kicks the governor in.

My whole shed roof is only 24' and the normal spans are 12'. I extended the length at my log deck by 3' so that is 15'. My mill will only cut 12 footers, maybe could squeeze on a 14, but I would be producing sawdust before I got it dogged.
