They finished the structure part by 9am on Wednesday morning. The had a double crew to set trusses on Tuesday so he said that’s what helped move it along so fast.
Going to try and get the water line and some conduit in this weekend to get ready for the concrete guy to come do the grade. Then I...
Never expected to move from where I had been for the last 15-17 years. But an unfortunate event of a family friend passing made way for an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.
Where I was sat on 1.5 acres and was basically cut out of bank so the 26x28 workshop I added on was all the room I had...

while looking for some pics that a guy wanted i came across a project me and some buddies did about 5 or 6 years back and thought i would share it on here. We made it for a trip to a major tractor pull we was going to every year at the time. anyway thought maybe someone would enjoy it on here or...

never tried this but used a propane torch and scorched the wood first to darken the grain of it....then after applying the stain i set...
yes its red oak that im using on this one. The wheels outside would be a different look havent seen any like that before... sounds interesting for sure!
I am all about trying to keep things original but this was way to far gone... the picture makes it look good. all the side boards were broken...
Thanks majority vote gets it... i will go with gaps. Also i am going to make a top for it with glass and maybe a metal support or stand of some sort to hold the glass. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliments on the other projects!, im kind of stuck on a project i am doing now. I am not sure if i should put gaps in the top wood or run them all together? opinions anyone??

Floor prep was just hosing it down, didnt use any soap and scrubbed with a push broom and squeegeed off and left dry for two days.
The floor had been down for about a little over a month, which looking back I wish I would have sealed it before doing any of the construction inside due to the...
Thanks for the compliments everyone! :beer:
here is how we did the trim around the doors. put a 2x4 flat to trim around all the doors to build it out so it would be close to flush to the J channel. after that there is a local guy that does aluminum siding and has a 10ft tin brake to do fascia...
Thanks! and thanks for the great customer service!!
