Steel is up..

N..me new banjo slide..
Didn't quite get me measurements right..
Way too big...

So i'll just use it as a flue thimble... :0)

A

A mile stone fer sure.. :0)

Sometimes ah guy just lives ..right..
Was gonna make an ash box..
But found the perfect fit tray in stainless at Good'will store.. :0] $3.99....
Other than that..
Dooin ..fiberglass.. insalation on a hot humid day..
Not me favorite...

Got up all the rest of the wall insalation..spray foamed some winda cracks..

Now gotta do the ceiling..
Be glad when that is done..

I seem to have lost track.
What will be the end use of the building, once it's all put together?

Just to enjoy..

A cumphy quiet place where i can cook on wood fire n watch the sunsets..

Through the winters..

Something I've always wanted to learn but never quite got there 

BTW Al , sawmill lumber is referred to "rough cut"  in these parts --- something I always try to use if possible . And those special screws for nailing down a steel roof ---   like in my 40 x 40 pole barn , the the insulator washers deterorate away in time , so I put silicon over them & many of those did the same so I'd like to know what they put on steel roofs to hold them down w/o leaking ?

Sorry Bob..

I thought Owen made that sujestion..

But i did do that..as you have had an exspierance..that i do not want..

Thanks..fer the input.. :0)

Al , think I'm out of sync w/ progress --- what is the shiny stuff on the walls ?

Shiny stuff on the walls you ask!?!?

IF I was doing things over [and could convince my wife], I'd like to try one of these ^^.   BIG farmers generally don't use small bins, so there's a good supply available around the area.  Pick the studs so as to make the interior walls straight sections @ 4' , some foamed-in insulation and Bob's yer uncle??

Edit: Fwiw,  I'd probably upgrade (?)  the foundation ^^.

Me hands are sore now.. :0/

Al , this is a true story ,
A friend was putting a stove in his single story living room & was perplexed how to center the stack up thru roof .
After much thought , he got a rifle & a level , centered it over the stove & made an exact hole thru the roof w/ one shot !
The supreme do it your shellfer !
