Summer Fun in Wyoming

[cnelk]

Been at my Wyoming place for a couple weeks enjoying summer

I decided I needed a garage so the materials arrived a week ago and I’ve been building that.

Lots of work by myself. Had a buddy help me set the trusses and my son came up and helped me put the roof metal on Saturday.
Other than that it’s been every day, all day by myself.

I would’ve been done today but it got too windy to finish up.
I’ll finish tomorrow.

Nice work man!

Looks great! Not jealous (of the address) at all…

Heck yeah @cnelk looks great! Tractor definitely needs a house! You putting a hoist and gambrel in there?

 

[survivalistd]

Great job on the build.

 

[ianpadron]

Not much more rewarding than a solo construction project. Looks great sir

Maybe!

I built a boom for the tractor so that would work too

 

[Hnthrdr]

That is great! Goodness those small tractors can do a lot of work… gonna move from a want to a need here in the near future

Nice!

@cnelk - no slab? Any concerns with keeping critters out? Burrowing underneath.

 

[cnelk]

^^^^
Prob not.
I had J Base brought in and that stuff packs like concrete.

Damn Brad. That’s impressive. Is it a kit that’s cut to size and you have to assemble like a manly puzzle?

Great work, sir. I’m impressed

I ordered the material package from Menards out of Gillette.

Nothing is cut to size (other than the trusses) but I will say I’m impressed with the lumber.
All the long 2x4s & 2x6s (16’ & 18’) are good and straight

Backing up a little, a month ago I leveled the building pad.

And a couple days before the building arrived I rented a skid steer and drilled the holes for the poles.

One step closer to the mailbox.... Looks good Brad....

 

[jayhawk]

Looks like you need some help up there…I can make it up this week

Wish we had a Menards down here, it’s a cool shop!

You won’t kill a thing this year because you used up all your luck right there.

That is incredibly nice. And if you can do that on your own, you'd probably be able to pick up a sweet retirement gig as a carpenter for other people.

That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 6 years.

In the month of May doing handyman stuff, I more than paid for the garage
