Making big pieces out of small ones
Comments (1) Sitting out another shower in the Registration Office.
Been working on another small building for Tim to use as a sales stand. This one is built out of scraps and more scraps.
Floor is plywood and osb scraps screwed to 4 foot long 2x6s set on 16 inch centers supported on two outer ends by 10 foot long osmose 6×6’s and in the center by a osmose 2×6 on edge. sections are joined by pieces of plywood screwed to to the sides where the 2×6’s join on the 2×6 upright.
Walls are 1×4 shipping frames put together in a lego fashion with a 4 inch overlap between them. Harder to discribe than to do. Again screwed together.
Front side posts are osmose 4×4’s 8 feet long. Or one of them is. The other is made of two pieces cut so they could be overlapped a foot and then screwed together.
Takes longer to build out of pieces and scraps but the only expense to date on this is fuel to get the materials, and cost of the screws.
Wall covering and possibally roof covering will be the plastic the other buildings are coated with. A bit of caulk and the roof seams should be quite tight.
Will be interesting to see how much can be done without additional funds being spent.
Still sprinkling a bit. So glad to see this rain. It’s started to settle the worst of the dust. Just need a few inches more of slow stuff over a month long period to bring some of the plants back.
