Still working on this . . . but had a little bit of a "distraction" . . . in the process . . .
Had to take care of a
"bucket List" item . . .
But still making progress on the shop . . .
Needed to make a trip to Ohio to pick up some lumber - Thanks
@747mopar - Devin got me hooked up ! !
First . . . needed brakes to make sure that the 6500 pounds of lumber got home safely . . .
Once that was done . . . the trip was ON ! ! !
Took my truck ( it has 370,000 miles on it ) up to Ohio to pick up this load . . .
Had one little incident on the trip back - the top bundle started shifting to the right on my . . . that top bundle might be about 1500 pounds (or more) . . . so what was I to do on the way home . . . Used the ratchet straps to pull them back to the center (worked great) THEN wrapped the straps around the bundle to help keep it centered for the remainder of the trip (should have done that in the first place)
Glad it didn't fall off . . . THAT would have been a real mess ! ! !
Got some really neat colorations in a few of the boards ( Devin said they'd all just turn brown . . . oh well . . . )
Got home at 8:30, had the lumber unloaded and mostly stacked by 10:30 . . .
Well, half of it, got the rest done the next day . . .
Got the framing done for the footings, even got the rebar cemented in the proper location, just need the concrete pour.
Hope to get it done next week ( or the week after ) if I can get good weather and get on the schedule . . .
Little at a time . . . but we're still making progress . . .
. I've used that on everything and usually don't have much fudging to do when I'm done.
