    Last weekend Jim and a couple of other local men got together and repaired the damages to the local church after our last wind storm. The only thing not touched were the three window panes which broke.

    Milling Lumber for the Kiln Shed Trusses

    March 7, 2018 /

    When we built the walls for the 10 x 20 foot kiln shed, we milled the 2 x 4 lumber and built a wall. Then repeat, repeat, repeat until the four walls were up. Now we are on to the roof trusses and decided to mill all of the lumber first.

    Creating Air Flow in the Shipping Container

    March 5, 2018 /

    Ever since we got the shipping container we have had a problem with condensation on the inside, especially dripping from the ceiling. Makes storing anything inside sketchy.  We picked up a new, second hand roof turbine to help get the air flowing.
