I'm the one
Evening All,
A couple of days ago I started doing another scratch built building. Right now, it is going to be two story home with rooms and an attached two car garage. Exactly what it will consist of is as mysterious to me as it is to you guys.
This is what has been thus far:
The basic framing has been completed for 3 of the 5 sides of the structure as well as the rafters for the garage, some of which need to be slightly aligned. The flooring has been laid in, using flooring from North Eastern Lumber, and given its first coat of poly urethane to seal it.
The rafters for the garage have been cut to a 45 degree angle for roof height. An "attic" may appear in there some where.
You may notice the actual framing is sitting on top of the flooring instead of sitting directly on the sub frame. This was done to ensure the structure would be square upon completion.
All lumber has been cut using either a Micro Mark Cut off saw or a hand saw and trimmed (where needed) using a plain exacto knife. The joints where then lightly sanded with 220 grit paper. At the moment, the roofing joists have not been trimmed or sanded.
Titebond 3 wood glue is being used to keep the frame work in place and clamped to ensure a tight strong join. Clamping time is the equivalent of two games of Spider Solitaire
One other thing, the structures base measures about 8" X 5" at its widest and deepest points.
I think this is about all I can tell you at this point, so stay tuned for updates on progress - unless you don't want to
