A Break in the Clouds


It's now March, and these photos detail some of the work that's been done since the New Year.  The Dek Block has been set and leveled for the floor joists.  Mike Compton of Compton's Sawmill in Macon County gave me some great poplar floor joists--2x6 size ten feet long and then two twelve foot 2x6s for the end caps on the joist structure.

Also, the photos reveal that an ersatz shed has been put up some 30 feet behind the house site where the lawn tractor can be out from under direct rain/wetness now.  I have four posts up (buried at 18") and cross pieces, but the tin roofing you see here is only sitting there for now.  I have several more 'gleaned' pieces of metal roofing on site that I will cut to size and attach to the purlins.  By the way, all wood seen here has been gleaned from curb alerts, dumpsters, or Craigslist.

More and soon.
