Birth of a shop - The Final Trimester

[Marty Walsh]

Marty,

I no longer feel like I've read 3/4 of a great book and did not get to finish it, please post you progress daily. The shop progress looks great, is it just me or does the shop not look as large once the sidding was installed.

Ken,

Sorry for making you all go through withdrawals. Although, not having to post daily updates did give me a few spare cycles to help get this new forum off the ground...

I'll be back to my daily feeds now. But don't expect to see great progess daily, since hanging those 16' Cypress boards takes a lot ouf of me!

Thanks for joining...

I want daily updates please. I just heard from the boss, I might have another day off (GA bound day) next weekend. That is if the snow don't fly and the river don't rise. IT is looking great and I am glad to see the thread being shared again as well as glad for the kindness you and Denise extend when I come down to play.

Marty...
What can I say...it's nice to see the saga continue.

Now...Olympic stain...around here...near the ocean...it's mostly used to make the end results...well...nicer?...equal?...eventually...no t immediately. But it seems the team of two got it down and man that's goin' be one SWEET place to work.

It's good to see "Birth of the Shop" back.

All along, I wasn't thrilled with the look of the piers sticking their ugly little selves out from under the shop. I love what they've allowed me to accomplish with my wooden floor, but they're...unsightly. I needed a way to make them disappear...and with a little creative input from tod, I have a way to "houdini" them. I built a set of roofs for them...

What a great idea! Thanks so much Marty and Tod. I am definately going to borrow it for the piers and my Sauna/Guest building at Pellow's camp. As you can see, my piers are just as ugly as yours used to be:



Getting ideas like this is one of the main reasons that I love woodworking forums.

Joe,

You KNOW I can use any assistance you care to give me. Give me a call when you know for sure, so I can make sure that the days events are properly orchestrated.

Frank,

I REALLY like the way mine came out. Let me know if you need better close-ups or anything. I even have a few shortcuts for making the roof members if you need/want them.

And thanks again tod for the idea!

I flipped hte disconnect, threw the main and circuit breakers and plugged in the floodlight. I now had PERMANENT 400 AMP SERVICE. What a great feeling that was...and still is!!!

Congratulations on a job well done!

Even though I only ran 100 amps to my shop, I felt the same way when it all worked.
