Bski ever time you whine about being broke a new structure pops up. What gives?

I feel your pain, I think all of us that have property away from town and have built something have experienced the O CRAP I forgot that weve got to go back to town. It got so bad when I was building our house that I started buying 2 of everything just in case I didn't count right or missed one. The extras are still in the shop.

Actually, we are operating hand-to-mouth. We haven't taken a vacation in some 5 years, but we count our blessings to be able to do this kinda stuff as our reward.

Just tell the youngsters that this year you are going to give them a gift that will enable them to feed themselves for their entire lifetime. Then set up a training day at your pond in which you teach them to fish. \:D

Eric, it can't be me. It's snowing there.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Well, the exterior of the new shed is complete...finally. The first pics of the slab pour are on the previous page of this thread, near the bottom. Hopefully, this will be our last project that relies on my middle-aged memory to remember each and every tool I'm gonna need to pack for that day-trip to work on it. This should give me a base to start from and gimme a place to store some stuff.

Next step is to wire it for power and pipe it for LPG. Then insulation and drywall. We already coated the floor with Epoxy paint.

Looks real nice, Bski. As we have come to expect from you, based on previous performance.

Be sure and get the bidet in before Bruce comes to visit.

That is a nice building B'ski. Very well done. This winter when it snows get a pic with a candle in the window . What about the inside? Shelving , tool peg boards or other storage systems?

Bruce is welcome to use the porta-bidet with manual pump. For those really tuff jobs, he can use the same 5 acre bidet that I have been using all summer. Watch out for Gigantor, the curious crayfish.

This tiny cabin is planned for both tool and human habitation. I hope to be able to use it (on occassion) for over-nighters. I have to be very careful in planning the most efficient use of every cubic foot. More importantly, I have to work in some creative installation of human comforts to woo my hard-workin' wifey into staying also.

Another typical outstanding project from B'ski. Thanks for the construction detail link. I am curious as to the type/brand of siding and roofing material. I have been disappointed while looking at the local big box stores, HD and Lowes.
Please tell where you ordered the factory cut roofing and details of the vinyl siding.

Thanks again for the prop's, guys.
Burger,
I don't know what kind of exposure Menards has in your 'hood, but they are my home improvement store of choice. Yeah, we have Homey and Lowes, but Menards almost always has the price and their service blows the rest of 'em away.
I don't know the exact history (and not going to google it), but I believe John Menard started making metal buildings out of Eau Claire WI. Then he started expanding to the point that their larger mega home-centers have appliances and a food section (?!?) I think they also own a green treating plant for their treated lumber.
Their metal roofing and trusses that I use get shipped to the store from Midwest Manufacturing. WRT vinyl siding, I think that choosing that stuff ranks right up there with picking out the right bed mattress. The stuff I used is branded Timber Ridge . It's .046" thick and has a heavier hem at the nailing point. I like it; not too flimsy. They also have some strking premium colors; a few choices above the standard variations of tan, clay, gray, and white. All the soffit stuff is generic; not sure the name or brand (might be Abtco...?).

No Menards' down south. It they were, they would run the others out of biz. Sad business models, they are.

Brettski, you have drive & determination far, far beyond that of mere mortal man!

I look forward to your first posting of an overnighter at your sanctuary.

rt, Brettski has told me why he does not do the overnight gigs at his sanctuary.

It has something to do with a real bad chipmunk experience that he is hesitant to talk about. You know...brings up too many bad memories.
