someone else with a John Deer tractor! Oh man............... Nice place. you look secluded there. My kind of place.
I like the overhangs. They come in handy for a lot of things. The small overhang we have in the living space is just a great place to look out into the woods in the morning with a cup of coffee. Also a great place during a thunderstorm or just raining. Enough on this and back to your project. Mark
Yes, two stories. This is the downstairs and the table between the two windows is where I'm thinking of putting he stove this fall.
Wow. Very nice Fanatical1. You have to show us more pictures of that table and bench! Did you make that or buy that?
I found the top slab and had an amish furniture maker finish it. I will take some pictures one of these days and start a new thread if you want to know the details. Also did a walnut slab bed.
We built a 40 x 80 years ago. Telephone poles set 3 ft deep, wrapped with rough cut 2x4's, tin siding. Tops of poles notched for 2x10's (might be 2x12's, I can't recall, bolted through the poles). Had a company/crane set the trusses, (40 footers) then ran the 2x4 purlins and tin on top. This is a farm/warehouse building with 10 ft clearance, one end used for a hangar.....yep, two hinged doors on the end,a nd 4 center doors on tracks so the whole one end opens up to swallow a cessna. All lumber came from a local saw mill, rough cut stuff, heavy duty. Worse part was the concrete, big job, did it in halves, little experience. First half part of it is a little rough on top, set up too fast for we young and inexperienced, the second half pour came out much better. I'm guessing the building was put up in the mid 70's, it's still standing, hasn't budged
haha, you guys are funny, guess i'll have to drag my sorry butt out there after work today and take a shot of the thing.........
You're just now getting this? Cool, more pics! I love building stuff, and looking at how others have done things too.
Good thing I went out and took these pics, a gutter was partially down and I likely wouldn't have seen it otherwise. With the snow melt, and this particular gutter, there'd a been some water enter a small building, and that's now been avoided Anwyay, the pole barn is up against a bank barn, I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I took pics of both, and I was runnin' my mouth about a cessna, and so I took care of that while I was at it, and then I thought HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, these guys probably don't believe it's a REAL BARN, so I took a couple pics of the interior, just for fun The farmhouse is where my dad lives, where I grew up as a kid. The last pic is a pic of our home, which is right near the farmhouse, you can see the barn and pole barn in the background there. We're sittin' here on 10 acres.
Alright! That is what I'm talking about ansehnlich1! Now. Let's see here. What do you owe me for saving you from water damage in that other building? By enforcing the firewoodhoardersclub rule #1 Pics, or your making that chit up!
I imagine the least I could do would be mail you a couple splits of boxelder for helpin' me out Let this serve as a lesson to all woodburners eh? POST PICS! To be honest though, I'd like to say that putting up a pole building really ain't that tough, depending on what use a person has in mind for it. Now, if you're gonna live in it, like the Taj Mahal pictured above, that might be a different story.
Did most of my training in a 150 and finished getting my private in a Cherokee 140. Always wanted to fly in a 172 and a taildragger but never got the chance. Gary
