Great project.

Justanoldguy · Jan 20, 2015

Impressive work.
I've laid 10's of thousands of yards of concrete floors etc in my time.
But I am still excited to see it going down.
Looking good.
I'll keep an eye on the rest of the build.
Love the outlook too.

Tomco · Jan 20, 2015

Looking great, can't wait to see more progress. Looks pretty similar to the one I'm building right now.

ADSR · Jan 20, 2015

Great project! You have some beautiful land!

BUGTHUG · Jan 20, 2015

those garage door dips, can be a pain sometimes. Yours are a little different than mine, mine sometimes gets dirt and water sitting in it. And if its winter time I've had the rubber seal on my door freeze in the dip, then rips when the garage door opens it :wtf:

Yours looks like it is even with the front entrance pad, so it should be easier to keep clean.
You putting windows on the side facing the river?

We have a pretty mild climate so hopefully (fingers crossed) I don't have the freezing issue happen! I will definitely have to be mindful of that for sure.

Yeah, we have two 4/0 windows at eye level and then I have 6 2 x 8 windows about 12' up from the ground all the way around except for the side where the doors are.

Framing starts today so I should have some more pics up soon!

I'll certainly be watching this one. My parents live right on the snake too, about 250 miles upstream.

kyinwa · Jan 20, 2015

The wood has arrived!

Got the 1st wall built just as the fog rolled in.

Up it goes!

I knew I wanted 16 foot walls, but once it was up I got pretty giddy!

kyinwa · Jan 24, 2015

Got 3 walls up!

And 4!

akcooper9 · Jan 25, 2015

Looks GREAT

188slo50 · Jan 25, 2015

Nice build and love the view!

2011laramie · Jan 25, 2015

that blocking on the top plate, is that for the trusses?

jeepinerdeep · Jan 25, 2015

This is glorious.

It is indeed, which should be getting slung up on Tuesday!

2011laramie · Jan 25, 2015

thats awesome. can i request that you take lots of pictures of the truss setting and squaring process. Ill be starting my 44x64 here in a few months so im trying to do as much prep work and research as possible.

Justanoldguy · Jan 25, 2015

Can I ask why you didn't just run a double top plate all around instead of blocking for the trusses?

BUGTHUG · Jan 25, 2015

looks like you live close to a church?

We are swinging them into place tomorrow so I will do my best!

I am editing this after getting some clarification. We did do a double top plate AND we did the blocking to make the truss setting go much quicker.

Yeah, there is one on the adjoining lot. To be honest, we spend most Sunday's on the river boating as a family & our boat is actually named Church for that reason!

kyinwa · Jan 29, 2015

Flying trusses!

And we are dried in for the most part. Windows, doors, roofing & siding coming in next week!

1/2 Cup · Jan 29, 2015

Looking fantastic, you have got to love it when a plan comes together.

2011laramie · Jan 29, 2015

looks awesome. building doesn't look that big against the landscape until you see a picture with one of the workers standing along the wall.

MacTexas · Jan 29, 2015

What is the name of the product you used on the roof instead of tar paper?

kyinwa · Jan 29, 2015

Its called Titanium UDL30. Very similar to tyvek almost but its nice for walking around on as its very grippy even when wet & we can have it on until its warm enough to shingle.

I was thinking the same thing. Great progress.

Aaron P. · Jan 30, 2015

love it, this is the size i would like to build, from what i see so far i doubt you will have much change from 40k, what sort of toys are you putting in there?

jessejames7112 · Jan 30, 2015

That had to cost more than 40

BUGTHUG · Jan 30, 2015

Concrete was probably over 10k??, everything's expensive, even dirt and drinking water cost money. Whats this world coming too...?

The boat, snowmobiles & other assorted toys will live there. Don't know much about turning wrenches, but I have never had a place to do so. But now I will!

kyinwa · Feb 5, 2015

Got the doors & windows in

Most of the window & door trim is on & we got one of the gable ends sided today. I am soooo tired

kyinwa · Feb 6, 2015

Got the back and most of the other gable done today plus got my meter base set.

My uncle even did my wifes special trim request around the meter base. I don't think my guys are too happy with her not going with square trim.

Modern Jess · Feb 6, 2015

Wow, this project is really moving. Impressive work, impressive size, impressive location!

ADSR · Feb 6, 2015

That's a good looking shack!

kyinwa · Feb 27, 2015

Finished up the gabled end & added some stick work per the wifes request

My buddy showing off his guns while framing up the bathroom

French door & wall for mezzanine to sit atop

ryanp77 · Feb 27, 2015

Looks amazing so far

Mpower5266 · Feb 27, 2015

I love threads like this. I cant wait to see how it turns out.

mheimer1 · Feb 27, 2015

Im curious about the concrete. Here in the Treasure Valley I have been quoted $150 to $180 per yard. Mind if I ask what you paid per yard?
Thanks

WideOpenThrottle1 · Feb 27, 2015

I trust you have one of those bays reserved for a jetboat! Looking Good!

For a 6 sack mix it was $110 and then depending on our needs for the day for accelerator or hot water it was a little more up to maybe $118/yd
