I'm gonna strangle my daughter. Haha

I changed my email and couldn't get validated. So I had her helping me trying to get validated and I bet she changed my avitar.

We were reading through the neyland thread and she saw all the women in there and she jokingly said I should put a shirtless selfie to lure one in. Hahahaha

Little **** changed it behind my back.

I'm gonna kill her!!!

Gotta get her back for this.

That's funny

Also did a matching backhand new sink in the kitchen.

Louders parents are Bama people so there’s a orange “go Vols “ painted on the wall under the tile in the shower.

Sadly I forgot the picture before tile happened

[Orangeslice13]

[vol_in_ar]

don't give in and go help

 

[buckfama]

Guys, sorry for lapse in reports.

I'll get one in here tomorrow.

Been busier than a one armed, wall paper hanger and just neglected to get pics or give updates.

Great work as always slice.

How much will you clear on a building like that?

From the red tractor repair shoo I ended up making $11,000.

From the one in taking down now it will be between $13 to $15,000.

Edit, I'm really liking my new customers and the prices. Lol

It would be if I could get some help.

I have hired 3 different guys and none will work, won't even show up. They even stopped and asked me for work.

One worked 3 hours and won't come back, says his hands hurt lol. All we did when he was there was move 1 stack of 2x6 and I helped him.

Another one would work but wants $20 An hour to pull nails. Not gonna pay that, not worth it.

Finding good help is next to impossible

Sadly, people are lazy nowadays.

Ok.. since my last update I have taken a load of about 3200 board feet to Florida. It was 2x6, 2x8, and beams. It brought $5800. I have at least 2 more loads that size out of this barn.

So far I have removed all the roof system, the beams and supports from upstairs, the upstairs floor (which sucked lol), all the 2x8 from the flooring system, and the 1x material from the sides.

Today I took down, denailed, and loaded all the 12 foot 6x8 beams from downstairs. This is the part where I wish I had help. Oak weighs 4 to 5 lbs a board foot. These beams have around 60 board feet in them. So at 4 pounds a board foot that's 240 pounds roughly. These are soaked and frozen from last week's rain so I'm betting it's more than that. Had to pick them up, put them on my shoulder and carry them about 75 feet to the trailer. It sucks but I don't have a choice. Got all 8 loaded today.

There are 18, 6x8 smaller beams that are 5 1/2 feet long. I got half of them pulled and denailed today and I'll finish the rest tomorrow. There are 4, 6x8 beams that are 8 feet long. I'll get them loaded tomorrow as well.

I have maybe 10, 2x8 left to denail and trim, and then there are about 100 2x6x12' left. What stinks about these are they notched them right in the middle to rest the 2x8 floor joists in. So that means I have to remove this notch for my buyers. Just takes more time. I'll lose about 4 inches out of each one and have twice as many boards to handle.

And that's where I'm at.

I have the 2x6 wall joists left, the 2x4 shed frames on the sides of the barn, and the material between the stalls. It's pretty much whipped.

I do have a lot of 1x material to denail, maybe 800 board feet. I wish I could find 1 person to denail and let me do other things. I spend as much time denailing and trimming as I do deconstructing.

 

[buckfama]

Here are a few things I had to deal with today.

First the stalls had doors on them and were hung from the shorter beams. They drilled and screwed in gate supports that were 6" long. Had to take a pipe wrench and screw them out. There were about 40 of these little jewels and everyone fought me to the bitter end lol.

Also when I said the beams were frozen I wasn't kidding. The material that washed off the upstairs floor during last week's rain was now frozen on top of the beams, in some places 3" thick. I had to take a hammer and a a flat bar and chip this off before I could load it.

 

[buckfama]

Since the last time I posted, i have finished removing the shorter beams, the last of the 2x8, and have been working on the oak 2x6 wall studs. There are close to 100 of them and I have about half out, trimmed, sorted, and denailed.

Will try to finish the other half tomorrow and that will leave the end 2x4 frames and that's it.

After that it's finish denailing and start making deliveries to customers.

I'm beat phyaically. This has been a long job with very few days off.

After this one is in the rear view mirror I'm taking a couple weeks off and being very selective on my next barn. I'm lucky that I have several to pick from.

Enjoy the break!
