Rising Up

The guys have been busy with the new shed project. After Dave and Karl laid out the site, Bob, Dave and I cut and hauled locust trees for posts (these trees are super hard and have great longevity). Then John helped Dave drill holes and put up the posts.


The top of the poles were cut for proper length with Bob's help once again. Then the girders/rafters were set in place. The New Holland tractor has been instrumental in this whole project.

That meant it was time for Dave and I to go and purchase 66, 2x8x10 stringers that the metal roof will be attached to. They all had to be carefully notched with a chainsaw to fit between the rafters.

John and Dave put the perimeter pieces up and then Greg came over to help slide the inside boards into place. 


Voila! Done and ready for the metal roof that has been ordered.

A few hours later the new 'skeleton' building became a roost for this hawk. I have a feeling that he thinks we made it just for him!
