My Model Shop WiP

how hot & cold does it get in the summer & winter? flat ceiling or cathederal ceiling? insulated & if so, where or non-insulated?

Very nice Drifter; looking forward to seeing how you fit it out. I need the Internet in my room back of the ex boat shed, I'm still messing about with boosters.

P.S. Joe, I googled your location...It is absolutely beautiful where you live. The countryside and then have the ocean right there. Just breath taking sir.

oh my!!! Starting from a clean sheet of paper. Unfortunately that’s about all I have, a clean sheet of paper. Jeaulous? You bet. Have fun and careful on that ladder.

Thank you Raulduke

Yeah, I have a thought; when can I move in?  It looks like heaven to me. You lucky dog.

Well Bakster anytime...It's just the wife and I now lol. Our daughters are grown and have their own homes. 

Where will you put the still? Love it.

SHHHHHHHHH.....that's something you don't even tell the other half, ever....Had a good friend who had two set up, as far as I know they are still out there waiting to be found after he passed away.   His wife knew he had them (and was ok with it), but not the locations.

Nice project, looking forward to how the inside is fitted out when you get ready to start sanding and painting plastic again.

Seriously though, as an architect I have to think of these things. Looks like it has only one door, understandable with the hill and all. 400 sq. ft. is kind of pushing it for something with only one door.

You should think about what it would take to get out fast if there's a fire and it blocks your way out. Like an easy open window which you can jump out of.

I'm pretty impressed that you built it yourself. I can remodel a room, but a freestanding structure, I'd probably order one online.

Thank you castelnuovo. My man Stikpusher had to remind me that it could also be used as a "Dog House" LOL

Meaning you keep a cot in there for those times when you are "in the dog house".

[/quote] That is correct Bill, but I will not need one. I haven't been in the dog house for a very very long time.

I have built a good amount of freestanding structures over the years. I really enjoy doing it. The hardest part with this build was getting the post stinglined straight. After I got all the post set in 3 foot holes with concrete I measured everything and was off by an 1/8th of an inch. I'll take that all day long with the slope of the grade, and 9 post total lol.

Nice work. Add an axe and I think you've got it covered. That R19 oughta muffle the loud Rush playing in there.

Dang Rev'nooers! It's funny what Goldhammer said too.

 

 

Sadly, like most areas of this country pills have taken center stage to moon shining in my area. 

A couple of the guys I used to work with know a place where you can still drive down a long dirt road, stop and leave a $20 bill in the large staple in the top of the fence post, continue down the road till you come to an open area, turn around and come back to the post and you will find a large mason jar of the "Good stuff" on top of the post.

One of the guys has quite a collection of those jars.

I really like it!

And, wow! What beautiful land!

The gentleman mentioned above was particular who he offered up his creations to....we were duck hunting in southern Oregon on a day that you almost had to break the ice to open the actions on our guns.  We got so cold and wet that we called it a day before the rest of the guys, and on the boat back in he took pity on me (I guess) and offered me the flask.  Was some kind of plum creation.....went down nice and easy with no bite, at least till it hit bottom, then it was like a Mk-82 went off.  Never had any offers in the years after either.

Got hold of some in SC when I was at Shaw AFB....was easy to do a brain inspection since the top of your head opened right up.
