You don't do anything halfway, that is for sure! I can't wait to see the tent fully done, and am dying to know the plan for its use! It is most def a huge tent! Impressive, as you always are when you are building! You are an amazing builder!

I canīt take full credit here, Dad is definitely part of this project. But thanks embarrased.gif smile.gif

Here are some pics. Censorship has been added to protect the guilty innocent biggrin.gif

Canvas time
Going up
More than halfway there (Whoooa! Living on a prayer!)
Done
We used the trailer as ladder support
First shelves are up

It was a bit of a pain to put the canvas up. It was heavy and kept getting stuck on everything, it even got a small hole in one place. Itīs not a disaster though as the canvas is of no-rip design which means if a hole appears it wonīt get bigger or tear up the canvas.

The tent is meant as storage for all the bits and bobs from my childhood home, including everything that was in the cellar and garage. There was a ton of stuff and Iīm sure most of you can relate tongue.gif

A lot has been moved and the tent is already getting too small. We have to use our brainz and organize it, but thatīs actually the most fun part in this project. I love doing that smile.gif



You should be able to patch that hole, if you need what is inside protected from precipitation/moisture/the elements. Most tent "kits" come with a couple patches for just such an event, but I've never seen a tent quite so big or with such heavy tarp to it!

Yes, we will patch that hole at some point. There is a glue we can use and the hole is not bigger than the head on a three inch nail so it wonīt be much of a bother. The stuff needs protection but weīre not putting anything in thatīs actually sensitive to the elements that we must close that hole immediately smile.gif

In the US now they are laying a 6 millimeter plastic tarp as a moisture barrier on dirt floors of crawl spaces under houses; and you can use them in tents as well as long as they are not laying flat where water will run in on them. They have to be taped up on the sides so water runs under them and not onto them if it goes beneath the tent or crawlspace.

I am spraying a moisture/mold/germ killing spray under my house to kill any microbial germs/etc. down there and then laying the rolled plastic down - taping it up the cement block walls of the crawl space so no more moisture can get into my crawl space from now on, just have to finish pulling the old insulation out of there first. Then I'll put up all new insulation and the crawl space should be immaculate!

That sounds like a good idea, similar to what they use when building garages like the one we built for the tractor. We donīt have it though because Dad didnīt think it was necessary plus I think he wanted to save on time = money. We would have needed it though, but I guess we can live without it.

Yes, I like hearing about every one of your projects; and especially seeing the pictures. You have inspired some things I want to do around this house, just seeing how you did it at yours. Truth!

Rarely do I get to hear I have inspired anyone to do anything!

Anything good, I mean tongue.gif

Just a little pic from today. As I said, the tent quickly became too small tongue.gif


We are gonna start throwing stuff away now, though. We simply canīt keep all the scrap metal and broken chainsaws anymore.

What I'm finding it hard to figure out is where the stuff came from. Do you now have a bunch of empty buildings whose original content got moved? Or is there some humungous heap that never quite appears in any of the pictures?

SubRosa wins the internet today with that answer rollinglaugh.gif


The more boring answer is accumulation of things during at least three lifetimes. My grandpa, my grampa and my dad have all brought stuff home from their respective work places that "can prove useful someday". None of them ever threw anything away either and thus, the scrapyard weīre now digging through was born tongue.gif


And the moosehead goes to Acadian! biggrin.gif

Holy Cow, it is really getting filled up! Two things:

1. I really like the way you have set up that wood thing to hang tools on the left of the picture.

2. What good is that bench with all that stuff on it? get the junk off it and use it to sit on while you work! tongue.gif

Weīre just in the process of moving things from the barn to the tent. Weīre in no way finished yet tongue.gif

The Rocu cottage project



Today our electrician buddy came over and finally we have electricity in the shed!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif


We put regular sockets and fluorescent lights on the inside and a lamp on the outside, plus a special socket on the outside with which to run high-powered electrical things. Itīll be interesting to see the lights and lamp this evening, canīt wait smile.gif


Now all we have to do is fill the ditch which gives me a reason to play with the cavator laugh.gif
