***Here is an update on this garage***** Well, thought everything was going well with the roof, since Bryan has let it sit because of working so much and vacation to Fla, the beams in the roof are starting to sag.
-
Yeah, you gotta get that wood covered up and out of the elements.
-
he should be using truss type rafters, they normally won't sag,
I'm no expert, but thats the best type for strength.
yes, I know, its always MORE MONEY!
-
he should be using
-
They won't if they don't get wet!
-
Ouch. Sorry to hear that Donna.
-
Thanks, kind of depressed about it. Makes me sick looking at it. Now it is suppose to rain for the next few days again. All that time and $$ and sweat Bryan and my father put into it. It just SUCKS. Maybe Bryan will post the last pictures took a few weeks back.
-
I do not think it is that bad, hard to explain but it should be ok. We will find out when the rain stops and I can put some more time in it. Yes, it is stick built and not trusses. It is a hip roof, if this does not work out it will become a truss built gable in a hurry. At least I will have some firewood for a year or so.
-
You could leave the roof rafters in place and just 'sister' some new lumber along side the old lumber. Might be the same expense (more or less) but should save some time.
AND THEN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, COVER IT AND ROOF IT!
-
I think that is what he is planning, guess I will be freaking climbing a damn ladder again. :rolleyes;
-
Fuuuuuuck, I'm gonna learn French faster than you bastards finish that thing. When will it be Le Fin?
I suurender. Please rub anus, I am overdue for intellectual stimulation. Anything but cheese frightens me. (You idiots don't have a CLUE what I'm saying)
-

As soon as I am done ramming my foot up your Le'Ass!

For the love of god, just hire some Mexicans and be done with it!

I want to hire someone, but that is was one of the problems when we started it, we had contracters out here to give us a quote, but they would leave after looking over our land and how big it was and they would never call back. (We dont think a garage is not that big)
-

Never underestimate the MexiCANs. Those bastards know that beer is waiting when the job is done!
-
I am guessing with the economy the way it is, you should have hundreds of contractors pounding on your door looking to do the job now (and for a cheaper price than before).

You would think, but we live in a new area where they are still building houses, and they are still building houses, I have asked a few of the guys that worked on our house and they said that they dont even have any time because they are working 6 days. I really wonder how bad this economy is because they are building with people waiting for new houses in my area. :smt017

Not many mexicans around here, only at the two mexican restaurants.

Those aren't real Mexicans anyway.

VERY NICE :supz:
-
Thank you Jim. I think he is doing a great job. It is finally looking like a garage.
-
Looks like a garage to me. :supz:
-
Holy shit, that's a shop, not a garage. Excellent work!

Sheathing is all done. Barring any rain, we should start the shingles tomorrow. :D

Whoo Hoo!! Wait, that means tomorrow I get to go on the roof, oh god... :bigeyes;

Dude, install a urinal. Or even better, a through. You know damn well you and your friends will be throwing back beers in there, away from the wife. And nobody likes stumbling into someone else's house to take a leak. Install something.
Now the only thing you need to worry about is Robert inspecting your package like he works for UPS or something. So make barriers.

There are some variations of the Mennonites nowadays...the newer Mennonites don't dress like or live like their colonists just coming to the new world. But there are still small groups of Old World Mennonites.
If you wanna see some old world beat downs...put some Amish and some Old World Mennonites in a room together..."LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!"
When I lived in WY there was a Hutterite colony nearby and they would sell some of the largest Turkey's for Thanksgiving I have ever seen...they had to of been drugging them. And supposedly they would pay blonde haired blue eyed males stud fees to keep their congregation growing...but that was probably just an urban myth.
When I lived in MT, there was a another group of Anabaptists that would drive up to the K-Mart I worked in once a month. They would come in about a dozen large vans...the men would go to the tools and hardware section while the women would go to the fabrics and household goods section. The teenage girls would go the bathroom, put on make-up, change clothes, and leave out through the garden center and go god knows where. They would spend all day, from opening to closing...they would literally wait until we're announcing closing over the loudspeakers. And they paid in change...drove us nuts because they would be making purchases in the $Ks range. They tried to use rolls of quarters with quarter at the ends and pipe in the middle...so after that we had to count the change, all of it.

Whoo Hoo! Shingles are 1/2 on. The roof with shingles should be done by the end of the week!
Also, I think my fear of heights is coming to end also since I have been helping putting up shingles. I think Bryan is getting high blood pressure for all the yelling he is doing at me because he thinks I am going to fall with the way I walk on the roof and go up and down on the ladder. lol

'bout time you helped out!!!

Trials and tribulations are experiences that are best when shared....
