WOW! We Are So Close Now. Building An Off Grid Post And Beam Building.
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 9 hodinami
We are so close to having our post and beam building all closed in now, just a few more sheets of O.S.B. to install and the front will be all closed in. Then we just have a couple to install on the back...then we are pretty much all closed in. We are looking forward to having this all closed in for the winter. With any luck we can start the concrete next summer.
Check This Out...Our Off Grid Homestead. We Almost Have It The Way We Dreamed It Would Be.

This is almost how we dreamed it would be, it took a lot of hard work and planning...but we are almost there.
WOW! Very Exciting. Can You Believe This? Our Post And Beam Building Is Almost All Framed In.
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 19 hodinami
This took a lot of work to get this far..but we almost have the outside shell of our huge post and beam building all framed in. Although we all know this would have went faster if we had just bought our lumber, but no...we built our own equipment to harvest mill and lift all of our logs and lumber into place, plus we built this huge scaffold to work from as well.
WOW..This Scaffold We're Building For Our Off Grid Post And Beam Building Is Going To Be Massive.

Building the second half of this massive homemade wood scaffold so we can work on the front of our off grid post and beam building. All of this lumber we milled for this scaffold will be all re-used for other construction of this build.

We needed more lumber to continue building our Off Grid Post and Beam Building. This is how we supply enough lumber to keep going. I'm sorry about the audio...our microphone batteries died making this video.

We Need Days Like This On Our Off Grid Homestead.

Today was just one of those days where you try to get to projects that have been waiting for a while...fortunately this weather has allowed us a few hours to get some of them done.
WOW! Today Was Not A Good Day For Roofing. Building Our Off Grid Post And Beam Building.
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 28 dny
Roofing in this weather was not a good idea, the weather went from rainy to windy then extremely hot and sunny all in one day. We just pushed through trying to get as much of this roof on as we could. Our Off Grid Post And Beam Building's Slowly coming along though.
WOW! What A Day....Building Our Off Grid Post And Beam Building.

Wow! This was a long day... we spent all day trying to get this one half of our gable end sheathed in on our off grid post and beam building. Part way through this day I almost fell 20 feet to the ground...luckily I did not. With any luck we can start milling more lumber very soon.
Today Was Another Busy Day On Our Off Grid Homestead.

This Really Hurt...I Had To Quit Early Today From Building Our Off Grid Post And Beam Building.

All I did was reach a little to far while twisting...and bam! I pulled something. Today It hurts pretty bad when I take a deep breath, it ended our day pretty quick so we didn't get much done on our Off Grid Post and Beam Building.
WOW! This Was Harder Than I Thought. Building An Off Grid Post And Beam Building..With Rough Lumber

Today Heather and I are framing in the upper section of the south wall of our Off Grid Post and Beam Building. Reaching out to nail these thick planks proved harder than I thought it would be..I should have built the scaffold closer to the building.
