40x48x16 Build..Backwoods NC/Weekender

[Jordanp252]

Wood is a little warped but making the best out of it.

 

[Jordanp252]

Got it figured out. Hope to finish both side walls tomorrow.

 

[Jordanp252]

Great view

 

[Jordanp252]

Getting her...Stopped to work on my deer stand behind it

 

[Jordanp252]

Been slow. Most of roof done and both side walls.

 

[Jordanp252]

Working on her. Been a weekend project so going slow. Truck inside shows its size.

HOLY COW !! Why do you need 16' walls ?

 

[Jordanp252]

HOLY COW !! Why do you need 16' walls ?

Because I had the room to do it; was only a couple hundred more, 8ft ceiling in lower room, 8 foot(ish) ceiling in loft. Oh and 14ft doors with plenty of room. Tell you what. Don't want to climb them anymore.

 

[Jordanp252]

Man it makes the F-150 look like a ranger.

I like the thought process.
Show us your deer stand. When is the gun deer season. Ours in Wisconsin is the week of Thanksgiving. Nov 22 -30th.

Thanks. Gun comes in Saturday-1 Jan. This is behind my shop.

If you look out in the opening on tree line I just cleaned a streak out in the woods.

The top 3ft won't have any. It doesn't get too bad here in Eastern NC.

I'm just used to "stick built" where you build them 1 floor at a time !

Yeah this was a pole barn kit. Metal was somewhat cut to length. Trusses were pre built. Etc. Still a hell of a project.

 

[Jordanp252]

Getting her. One Weekend at a time.

 

[Notgrownup]

Sure has been nice and dry....that's a plus , I have been sick as a dog so I haven't touched mine much.... Looking good there Jordan.

Thanks! I've been all of the US for work and on stand-by this weekend so I can't go and work on it. Ready to finish it up. That's for sure.

 

[Jordanp252]

All I got done last two days. Been working on my ranger.

 

[Jordanp252]

I did pay my friend to bring me a couple loads of sand with his M20/modified dump.

 

[power wagon]

If I haven't mentioned it before I am a pretty big gun collector/builder. They make great trade items. Traded a couple guns at the cost to me of $1100 for this set-up. Old Deutz 40-06 and a trailer. Also got a bush hog not to long ago with a $40 gun I got from a gun show ha ha

She might not look good but I have been running it hard every weekend I can and it does work well.

well i think she is beutiful, i would love to own an old deutz, keep up the good work

 

[Madhatter10-6]

Nice work so far....love the location

 

[Jordanp252]

Thanks

 

[Jordanp252]

Put a couple hours on it today.

 

[Jordanp252]

Haven't had much time to work on it. Due to travel, weather, and hunting. Did get about 10 stumps dug out this week.

 

[Jordanp252]

She wet out here though. Rained 24 hours straight the other day.

 

[Notgrownup]

Damn we've had a crapload of rain and fixing to hit us again...my damn drains are gurgling it's so wet.

 

[Jordanp252]

Yeah its crazy. More than the last hurricane that came. I finally got a ditch dug across my land. But will have to clean it out here shortly.

 

[BuickFarmer]

Wow, just finding this,man you've had a hard time with all the wet weather so far, hope it gets better for you! You are to be commended for your perseverance, oorah!!! Been a wet winter down this way so far. Just wondering why you're using so much sand instead of a #4 stone? Economics and availability I presume....
Subscribing now

Thank your sir. Sand is readily available around here on the coastal towns. Cheaper than stone and my buddy happens to have a sand pit. Although I didn't start getting a lot or sand from him until recently due to them being busy. I do plan on putting rock on my driveway once I build it up a little more.

 

[Jordanp252]

Rain...rain...rain... Bringing in a load at a time. Going to order Janus 1000 doors. I know not the best but if they last me 10 years I'm happy with that.

I was just wondering how you were coming along with all this water we've been getting...

*****... I can only work on the weekends and it seems every weekend is wet. Going to get it ready for the dry spell. So when that time comes. I can get a concrete truck in there.

August around our place is when we think it will get dry...

It's getting to be a pain in the ***...
