Well Oiled
For the last couple weeks I have been posting in" Where was your WIllys Today", about my trips to the portable lumber mill in Gold Run that several friends of mine have shares in. I have been Milling a Lumber Package for my Son's Garage/Modified Pole Barn structure. While I've been Milling, he's been grading and digging footings and spreading gravel. The first picture was Saturday evening when my Wife and I went to check out his progress.

The garage is only 20' by 24' due to the size of his lot, Septic Tank location and leach fields. It will have four 6x6 post with two 20 feet 6" x 12" beams across in the 8' and 16' locations where the deep pier holes are. The front and back wall will be framed in 2"x6"'s with 2"x6" roof rafters on 12" center to meet his 100 lbs snow load. Back wall will be 8' and front wall will be 12' with a Single pitch shed roof. With a single 12' wide by 10' high roll up door in the front, and one man door on the side.
This afternoon him and I spent 4 hours building and setting the form boards for the concrete. next weekend we will level them and tie the re-bar grid. He has friends from work that used to do concrete work that will come and help the day of the poor.
My Bride told me I'm not allowed at 70 to do concrete anymore. She says it a young mans sport.
