Oh, that wood is in amazing shape! There is a LOT of wood salvaging done in my area; they have barns that are over a hundred years old that people salvage the wood from and make wood flooring with that is spectacular! Tell Father Mirocu that I said "Good find on that wood for his shed!"

Hopefully, anyway


Yeah, it's good he wanted to salvage it. It's the second garage for him actually

I think it is amazing how you and your Dad have revamped these properties!! I will never forget the image of that first driveway, that was Awesome with the red color! (before crushing, lol).

Thoust meaneth this?

Yes!

Garage project update:


Four more support beams added to the roof and we got half the roof up. And I kid you not; the second we were done with the fourth roof piece it started to rain/hail.

Starting a new LP series. I'm playing the PC port of Ys Seven.

Wish I could follow it in the mornings like I did with the RE LP. We'll see what happens from my end.

Episode 1. Had this on my Vita so its not quite a blind LP. Still its the just the appitizer till I get Ys 8 and play that and I might do the other Ys games eventually.

Roof finished.


We even filled in old holes, again; just before it started to rain. Now we can focus on boarding it up. I don't think we have enough material ourselves for that but we can take some from my dad's cousin. Especially if we don't say anything

Garage is looking fabulous and is coming along fast and well!

I've said it before, but you really ought to consider going into construction self business! Move other peoples' rocks and build sheds and gravel driveways for others.

WOO HOO, it is looking good!

Noice .

Nice work! Me, I've no aptitude for this sort of thing whatsoever. My next door neighbor does, which comes in handy at times. (He doesn't provide his services for free, sad to say.)

As for myself, I'm put most everything involving the least amount of physical labor on hold until my "Tennis Elbow" goes away, assuming it does. As a followup to earlier posts, I'll mention that our recent excursion to TN for my uncle's burial went well. In fact, discounting the reason we went, I found the trip surprisingly pleasurable. Saw and talked with many relatives I'd not see in ages and ages. I tried to remain on my best behavior, so reckon I put my foot in my mouth only six or so times at most, give or take.

Thanks for your comments, guys! Yes, it is coming along quite fast now. Much of that thanks to the walls already having been built. And all we needed help with was raising them. Now when that is done we can finish it up ourselves and then it usually goes pretty fast

Hit a bit of a snag today when boarding up the back of the garage.

The sides are not perfectly straight which we did not think about when we started boarding up. Had to remove everything, put two extra pieces at the bottom and one in the middle (to make the wall vertical and not leaning inwards) and then put the boards back up. When we do the long side we'll have to tinker some more but I think we can make it look good in the end. At least I know what to do.

Sigh.

Part 2.

Pfft who needs tutorials.

Removed outer front end today in order to chainsaw the long bottom piece a bit. Right front end leaned outwards quite a bit so adjustment was necessary. It actually is perfectly straight now as we checked with a level. Not too shabby considering I used a friggin chainsaw and didn't measure anything

Glad it is fixed, don't want it falling in on you and the dear little yellow 'Cavator!

You said the back leaned in, and the front leaned out. This is making me wonder if the wall wasn't originally intentionally slightly racked so that with the front/back ends vertical, there would be a slight slope on the top (roof). With the diagonal braces, it shouldn't have shifted. You might get enough slope for water not to pool (snow would still collect). That would have made the bottom need to be sloped, too, of course, and you'd have levelled that before moving it in.
