Handrail needs to be brought up to code.

Oh Well lol

Handrail needs to be brought up to code.

Tough crowd, tough crowd!

Is that something you can do or does it need to be an engineer? Cause I know one if you need one.

Starter/generator off of a 1928 A model Ford.

Finally got the wild cherry stacked in my shed. It needs to season out before I use it, but I doubt that it will get completely dry there. From my experience woods tends to have the same moisture content as it's surroundings.

I am hoping to build a three mirror, adjustable full length mirror with it.

But now my wife wants a wild cherry dining table.

I think I could build the mirror, but the table seems like a major project.

The steps, railing and floor trim throughout the house is all cherry from the farm the house is on. The floors are oak from the farm also. All the bedrooms and bathroom closets are lined with cedar from the farm too.

Got the scaffolds up and the posts sawed off.

 

[MWR]

And got them notched as per the blueprints.

And after a long and difficult struggle, got the 24 foot 2x10 in place, (still green and probably weighing as much as two seasoned 2x10s).

It's 1/4" low on the left side. I think I can live with that.

Minor project that had been nagging me - I ran new electrical line to code and replaced a flood light fixture with an updated one having a sensor. Replaced the fixture at my back door with a new one having a sensor. Put locks on my back gates. Now, if anyone cuts through my yard from the McMansions built on the property behind mine, they’ll have to climb over the fence and their way will be lit. If they’re going to commit petty acts of vandalism, at least they’ll be better able to see what their doing.

As I call my security light, “burglar courtesy light.”

Ours went on and off all night, triggered by things like rain, and a breeze blowing leaves around. And since it was probably disturbing lightning bugs and pollinators, I decided to hell with it during the growing season.

We’ll see what happens. I needed to respond to assuage my wife’s ire and anxiety.

I hope it works out for you guys. It’s creepy having people in your yard at dark-forty, even if they’re just on their way home from the pub and need to take a whizz.

Meanwhile, back at the shed. I got the posts notched for bracing and the braces cut.

You know it's on when you drag out the old Black and Decker 8 1/4" Super Sawcat.

 

[MWR]

Got the beam together and it came out pretty close to level. Still needs a lot of nails added to it.

 

[MWR]

And I got few rafters up. These are being used to calibrate the cuts on the rafters.

Haven’t been real thrilled with the versatube frame for the roof so we put the runners closer together leaving a wider gap in the middle of each side of the roof and added a 2x6 front to back on both sides really locked the frame up tight

I was too scared to let the wife on the roof. No way I’d attempt it

Not to worry. The twisted metal framing and splintering 2x6 will cushion your fall.

You mean my wife’s I don’t do heights

@Orangeslice13 any experience installing fencing? If so, what is the average rate per linear foot to install 6 ft vinyl privacy fencing these days? Materials & labor.
