Finding a flat suitable surface so as not to grovel on the floor for assembly is the hard part of constructing them. If you can set up a miter saw with length stops you can blow right through the cutting pieces to proper angles and lengths. Tell Rock you have a project for him. He likes working with wood.
Yeah, I hear you. If you can't get help lifting them and don't have equipment, building in place is all you can do.
You can build a jig on the floor. Place blocks around the first one for locating and tack them down with screws or long trim nails.
I didn’t use adhesive, just 16 nails at each and 2 screws, there is a gusset made from
I'm sure it will be fine. Looks nice.
It is 91 with a heat index of 99 at my house now, and it was 97% humidity at 4:30 this morning. Be careful out there!
I’m inside drying off now. I’ve. Drank a plenty and I go sit in the A/C very often. I’m diabetic so I also have to account for that. Pacing myself is key. I m very careful. I’ve have a heat episode one time. It felt bad.
Yes and no. I cut all the pieces at the same time the I cut all the angles and set aside the pieces then started to build them. I laid them on the floor. Screwed them together so I could see the joined part, then I nailed the gussets on each side.
I do similar. No particular health issues other than controlled asthma and being 78. Last winter I took a break from running the snow thrower. Wife heard no engine noise and came to check on me. 'I am fine, I am just on break. I am NOT going to be one of those old guys who dies working on snow.' When I was about 20 I hung around at a tiny car dealer a lot because they sold MGs and Renaults. One early summer I stopped by and found that the old owner had died. He had been installing a window AC unit by himself. It was mounted high enough he needed a short step ladder. They found him and the AC on the floor. I have never forgotten that.
Looking good!
I have some strong ties from Lowe’s. Same ones I used to secure the joists to the 3 skids under the building
I was rushing to install before the rains and it was a deluge. Not complaining as we are in a drought . I will get back in this side and repair. The other side is way flatter
Precut metal and no ridge vents, I’m gonna put 2 gable vents
Yes I saw this as well.
I’m the whole crew.
You have made good progress, especially working in this oven since you started. Ddawg16 from Los Angeles came to visit at my shop about 12 years ago when temps were like this and I was cutting the grass. He made the comment that it gets pretty hot where he lived, but it didn’t get THIS damn hot feeling.
