it needs some bamboo...


Bamboo is clearly visable in the pics bro!

Nice progress Ken! I'm envious...

Was given a FREE 18' x 25' freestanding "carport" that just has to be dismantled and hauled home. It looks like the lower uncovered 4' and the ends can be enclosed relatively easy, so we'll see. Unfortunately, where it needs to go in the yard will require some grading/stump removal/massaging prior to digging some footings/anchor points = no money for that at the moment :rolleyes:
 
Thanks.. this project has been a long time coming..

it will a while before it is 100% done.. but atleast it is started now :)
 
inside of block is now full of concrete and lag bolts are in

well got some more done today..

NO pics.. Got dark to quick tonight :)

Got the bottom Frame drilled and mounted to concrete with lag bolts every 4' on center.

Next step is to start putting up frame and then start the outside skin.
 
Well I got a pic...

this is what happens when your freind drops a 36 foot piece of steel on your foot

THe orthopedic shoe you have to wear for 6 weeks is REAL stylish too !
 
Well Today was a GREAT DAY..

had about 12 guys shop up at different times during the day.
Had Hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks for lunch.
and Got the enitre building up in 8 hrs

We worked until it got DARK..

we used my generator to run power all day.. lasted all day and never ran out of gas.. not bad.

I still need to add some flashing and some extra stuff but for the most part it is up

Lots of pics..
