Finally! I had not scored and older vise in several years and as it always happens one falls in your lap when you are not specifically looking for one but I'm always down for a deal. This one was $20! I little drive but not too bad and as I was leaving the next guy was pulling up at this...

So busy at work and it is not letting up but was able to do more yesterday. Got the 1/2" sheathing on the roof with the synthetic roof underlayment. I would have liked to have painted first before the doors and windows but I guess I will just tape them up when I get to that part. Getting...

Next Tuesday Aug 3rd will be one month since I drove the first nail. Hopefully I will be dried in next week but busy work week for me.

More progress. I thought that the rafters were going to be the hardest part but hanging this 5/8 sheathing on the walls is by far the most taxing so far. Of course they are heavy and awkward and because there is a aesthetic aspect to this T1-11 you kinda/sorta have to make sure they are...

I fished in that pond a few weeks ago. It is private but I know a guy! They just brought the water back up at the end of last year because it had been down since 2015 after the 1000 year flood we had here in central SC. It was down 8-9 feet for all those years. I understand there was...

We are very close! I know those Ft Jackson guys and all the Camden guys. The front wall is built to standard for the most part according to the guy that built my house BUT he has not been here to see it in person yet. All he has seen is pics in no great detail. Hopefully this week he will...

Thanks for the tip. I will do it today. Do you see anything else that I looks suspect? I really appreciate the guidance!

Started the roof rafters Friday night and got them done Saturday afternoon. Did the entire thing by myself except for the box-ends on the overhangs. Had to have wifey help me get those 2 end boards into place after I built some temp supports to lay them on. What a chore, holy ****. I have a...

Make sure you can pull right in/out with the RV without much fuss. You'll thank yourself later.

I wish I could...Most of these are going to be stand alone rafters from front to back with rows of perlins in between every 48 inches. The span is 16' so that should be perfect for some overhang on each side. Not sure if I need to trim them yet or not. I've never done a lean-to roof this big...

The eagle has landed. Got my 2x8x18's this morning. Not sure what the cost is in your area but these were $22.99 each, pine #2. Seems pricey but the cost of doing business now, I guess and I was told that price has come down a lot the last few months? Anyway, I noticed that a few of these...

I am doing woodworking mostly and a shop for my RC Heli's/Jets/etc. I know its small but this is the biggest we could do on our lot without ruining the view of the lake and that's not happening. I moved here for the view, not the garage so I'm lucky to have something at all. You can't build...

My mother went there when it was all girls back in the 60's. It was Winthrop college then, of course Winthrop U now.

Dude, I grew up on Lake Wylie. I was born and raised in Rock Hill and went to Winthrop. Small world...I am in the Camden SC area now so not too far away. I'm ordering the lumber this week and we see how it goes. I'll keep posting progress. I just fell ***-backwards into a ton of kitchen...

So we finally got our new house built and moved right at the beginning of February. At the same time I had my builder pour me a 20x16 pad for shop on our property. Over the long weekend of the 4th I decided I was going to go ahead and build it myself and save some money. Anyway here is my...

Not sure where you are located but if it were me I would go to Craigs and save an ***-load of money. Since this is home use (like me), this will be used for projects, one offs, here and there, etc. I have a nice Delta I bought new a few years ago. Biggest projects being 2 or 3 decks over the...

I think we have a winner....Holy **** Dude :lol:....Look at all those mosquitoes on the wall :scared: That looks like a freakin horror movie!

You are always going to have folks that can't follow the rules. That is just life. At least if you allow replies (that don't bump the thread), it will enhance buying and selling (more communication is always better) and keep idiots from bumping their ads. It is never going to be perfect but...

This is another gem that should be repeated. The guys do a great job but when you have folks that don't know the rules or just don't give a sheet, then it looks like the mods just don't care which isn't true. Nobody can watch this stuff 24/7 and like you said, they shouldn't have to. Tom

Best thing I read all day! :rocker: Play on player!
