These pages are about some hard wasted effort:
a nice project we built and had to tear out.
| To the right: portulent
Pye on the edge of the parking space. The brawny guy is an itinerant
architect who does carpentry when nobody needs his design talents.
|
 |
| Right: the joists are nearly done. They ride on 4 x 4s set in concrete. |
 |
| Right: nice side deck all done, screwed down
with stainless steel squaredrive screws from McFeely's. It don't get much
better than that! The firewood shed is still a bare skeleton. At far left is an electric hoist under a green tarp. |
 |
| Shed's done! On the right you see the electric hoist |
 |
Right: looking east at the woodshed from the main deck. The hoist is barely visible behind the black cooker. |
 |
| Soon after the deck and shed were done, we
decided we needed a second bedroom and the cute little deck disappeared. In
its place there yawned a rocky, muddy pit for the addition's foundation.
We hit three strata of rock separated by high-iron-content gluey red clay: sandstone, limestone and granite. To the right is a view to the West taken the morning of Thursday, January 1, 2004. |
