It would be a long trip, but you may be able to go to Tulsa ok and see one of our LJ's who has a mill. Send him a pm and see if he could do the logs. http://lumberjocks.com/gfadvm
looks great randy, those little trusses are heavier then they look huh….yea i still remember doing mine, when i built my shop i had my 2 sons to help me, it was a great time….glad you got it done, get it sheeted now and the decking on with some tar paper and you will be dried in….
its looking great randy, before you know it you will be done and will be getting your shop back together and making sawdust…im sure you have had fun with this, lots of things to learn, and you had plenty of help along the way, no one giving you any slack on how to do it….LOL…but that is how we learn…thanks for bringing us along…its fun watching you add on….
make sure your careful with this electricity stuff, you dont want any shock surprises…lol…when i use to work doing maintenance, i worked with a nice guy , but, whenever i was doing something with wiring he would sneak up behind me and zing me…he always thought it was funny…i didnt care for it that much…lol….im glad all is going well…thanks for the blog randy….
your doing good….glad the rain let up for you, thanks for the blog here…..once this part is done then i think your putting up your sheet goods…..OSB if i remember right…or is that just on one wall for ease of hanging things…..well carry on sir, your doing a great job….now if your planning on working tomorrow, i do think your entitled to double time…per union rules…..
Nice job! I know what it sounds like when the insulation first gets put into the wall. Quiet and muffled. LOL! Around here I have to use staple ties and line up my work, so it will pass electrical inspection. I did notice the nail plates. Good!
I'm sure you know this but never put a junction box where you cannot get to the wiring.
Got some more spalted maple today, and I almost screwed up my new 5/8ths blade with a nail in the walnut log. fortunately I was moving slowly.
LOOKS GREAT, TIME TO NOW GET YOUR CABINETS MADE, opppss caps…looks great randy, yep i knew you would have the bracing outside, i was thinking of the actual bottom plate in your wall, since those units tend to be so heavy i was saying to have a double 2×4 on the bottom…but im sure its good, i always tend to overbuild…rather be over then under….have a great night….
