Ranchfest Roof Pics
10/15/07 - 2nd Day - After Breakfast. Ok, here are some of one of our Ranchfest projects. I have not yet taken pictures of Josie's cabin, so these are just of the office roof cover project. This first pic is from day one as we were starting to sink the 4x6 poles for the frame. Basically we are building a big shed roof over the camper...
This next pic shows Elder David as he digs holes with his fancy space-age post hole digging device. It is so fancy, that most of us do not know how to use it, so David demonstrates the proper use of modern hole digging technology...
Here we have the corner posts in. Bill is waiting for further instructions...
At the end of day one we had all 11 of the upright 16 foot posts up and in concrete. This pic is at the end of day two when we have most of the structure squared and ready for rafters... someday...
This next pic is taken from the creek bed which runs to the south of the camper.
This pic is from day three. We have now put on the bottom supports which will keep the structure from torquing in the winds, and which will one day (Lord Willing) serve to support the floor if I decide to make this structure into a cabin. We also have the 2x10 rafter supports up. You can also see the door opening where there will be a door when we get this structure screened in...
We received about 1/2 inch of rain so far this morning, so I haven't gone over to Josie's to take pictures of her cabin roof. I hope to do so today sometime. We are about $700 short of being able to have the roof on this office project, and about $1000 shy of having it screened in and enclosed. Hopefully we will be able to finish this soon.
The temps here have remained warm, and have only been a slight bit cooler today because of the rain. David and I got the two sows loaded up in the trailer to go to the butcher early tomorrow morning. The piglets are doing alright so far without momma. Yesterday, for fellowship, we had a ham from the Ante's pig which was butchered a week or so ago. It was very, very delicious. We also drank some of the watermelon wine from this summer's watermelon crop. Also delicious.
I hope to work on the other promised posts this week.
