Squerly and friends build a house...

[Jim_S]

Watch out for FF parties...

Anyone know where the thread is where we had a party at MelensDads house when he wasn't there? I'm thinking that had to be 5 years ago.

I don't remember a lot of that night/weekend but it was one hell of a bash.

You mean this thread?

I don't know anything about it.

[squerly]

OK, put the party on hold for just a little while longer. First, we need to spray some insulation!

Spray Foam. The best way to seal and insulate.

 

[squerly]

Course, it doesn't always work out as planned...

Shep says "roof, roof..."

 

[FrancSevin]

Metal roof! Again, you have my applause.

It's almost as if you are building this house for yourself

 

[muleman]

Metal roofs are like a big tin foil hat...............

This is an eleven foil roof Mule, gives me a little extra protection during these dangerous times...

More roof, more rock, more insulation. Also, got the wood shed framed.

 

[squerly]

Finally get to start filling the woodshed this weekend. Actually kind of excited to get the chainsaw and splitter going, it's been awhile.

 

[squerly]

Starting to get the woodshed stocked up, sheet rock is moving along now, and Shep is confused.

 

[squerly]

Sheetrock in media room is just about complete.

• Picture 1 shows where the seats will go,
• Picture 2 shows where the bar will be installed, and
• Picture 3 shows where the hideaway flat screen will be.

The flat screen will emerge from a custom cabinet that serves as a built in piece of furniture. When the amp is turned on the cabinet top opens and the flat screen lifts into position.

Superbowl should be exceptional this year!

Coming together nicely. Should I plan on turkey day dinner at your place?

I would be truly honored! (You're bringing the bird, right???)

How big do you want it? Live or frozen?

 

[squerly]

Sheetrock is hung! Taping it next week.

I'll bring the bread, dinner rolls and dessert...and my appetite!

JEV,


Would you please stop posting such pictures. I am trying to loose weight.
Bread, especially yeast breads, are my weakness.

You're killin' me man.

 

[JEV]

I've lost 10# in the past 2 weeks by NOT eating my own bread. I feel your pain. I l o v e bread...all kinds. Gotta drop total 15# by 9-15 when I see the doc for my semi-annual checkup. 2/3 of the way there, then I can go back to bread.

 

[squerly]

Random photo's as we get ready for kickoff of the 2014 season. Sheetrock is completed and texture has been applied. Upstairs has been primed and is ready for paint. Roof is only a couple of pieces from being finished. We picked out the wood and stain for the interior and hopefully we are able to get that moving in a week or so. Taking tomorrow off and plan to fill the woodshed. Winter is only a couple of months away!

Go Denver!

 

[Daxman]

Holy shit, that house looks amazing, nice job Squerly.. I sent you a email earlier and tried to call but didn't get a answer so figured your busy. Give me a call tomorrow or this weekend if you get a chance.

 

[squerly]

Wood shed is just about finished. Still need to put a side on it so the interior isn't visible from the house but at least it's to the stage that I can start storing wood. Winter feels like it's just around the corner!

 

[Doc]

Just catching up on your work. Great progress. Looking good!!!!!

Looks like you have enough wood to last you a week or two. Good start for sure.

 

[muleman]

You have about as much in there as I have in mine. Need to get those Amish boys back to work on it. With 2 weddings in a row and today they are digging 60 post holes for their older sister they have not been around much.

Wood (Spruce) arrived for the walls. All this wood is stained and then delivered to the site, vs having to stain it after it is on the wall. I flipped over a couple of boards to show the color although it doesn't show up well in the pictures.

A couple of pics of the wood going up on the wall and the last one is me moving some firewood in its "pre-cut state"
