I used to roll my box outside on the porch. It saved me several steps. I had a ramp that fit from the deck, up to the door sill. Well, I stopped doing that when I heard the door sill crack. The damm thing is made from plastic.
I have a small room that's attached to my basement but doesn't have the house over it. It has a 18" or so "man-hole" that I can throw wood down. It holds about 1/2 cord of tossed wood. After the wood is in that room I have a wheeled cart that holds about 3 days of wood that I wheel over into the room, load it, and wheel it back 3' from the stove.
Hey Griz... I just woke up 3 days later and thought I remembered you saying something about what you had done to make your basement look like a log cabin... duh... found it... "If you were blind folded before you come in you would think it was a 1800 log cabin". So, we're REALLY gonna need pics of that bro. I burn in the basement so any ideas I could get to make it look like something other than a basement would be awesome...
Ok I will work on getting pictures on here today, but I will tell yall how I done it know. When we bought the house the basement was as plain as the day it was built. I devided it up into 3 parts 1 small work shop 2 wash room and then the griz cave. 3 of the walls ended up being osb and 2 block. I drilled the block and put up osb board and painted all the walls a dull primer like grey and ripped old boards into 5 inch strips and used a air stapler and spacer blocks to put them up. This is fast and don't cost that much. I had 5 people and done almost all of it in one night. 1 on the chop saw and 2 on the rip saw and me and me and another boy putting them up. I am far far from being a carpenter and this was a since and it looks so real people cant't believe it. I have know finished the ceiling with osb and furn strips. I got to looking at rustic bars on the computer and got some good ideas. It again was simple and I built it my self from some wormy chesnut a buddy give me. I got less than a 100 dollars in the 6 x 6 treated base and hardware. The same bar was priced at 4000 on the computer. The trick it all is tools
Very nicely done! I like it as well as some of our house. The first picture is when we were making the addition. The second is my work desk where I do leathercrafting and a few other things.
