Beer 'n Lathing: Original porch decking
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2014/05/original-porch-decking.html
Just not at the same time. Friday, May 2, 2014. Expecting the worse, we pulled up the 2-inch strip flooring to reveal the original porch decking. The 3-inch tongue and groove deck boards were in great condition although 20% of them had been removed entirely when the area was close in and turned into a bathroom in the 20s. Let me know what you think! Comments and suggestions are always welcome! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The new stoop review. Water supply pipes a go-go.

Beer 'n Lathing: May 2014

Just not at the same time. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. The new stoop review. The Dancy house received a new door stoop, door jamb, and exterior casing due to the water splashing up from the brick porch. The sill under the stoop was carved out with a couple of saw cuts and a chisel. I used pressure treated deck board as an affordable alternative to overpriced 5/4 yellow pine. I will have to let it dry out a little prior to painting. Links to this post. Sunday, May 18, 2014. Links to this post. IYou never know ...

Beer 'n Lathing: Hindsight is board and board
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2014/05/hindsight-is-board-and-board.html
Just not at the same time. Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Hindsight is board and board. With the weather drying out a bit and the spring semester finally over, I've had a chance to do a little more work on the workshop. A couple days ago I notched in a couple more nailers across the studs in order to prepare for the vertical siding. These are spaced two feet and were pretty fast to put up even with all the notch cutting I had to do. Yesterday I finally started putting up the siding! Labels: JB Laine Homeplace.

Beer 'n Lathing: February 2013
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Just not at the same time. Friday, February 22, 2013. I had been recently informed by someone much smarter than myself that our new peepers needed a perch for to perch upon. So as she drove off to work, I headed to the work shop. (Actually, I headed out to prime the window frame, but it was much too cold so I opted to do this instead.). The peepers are far from full grown and are still in their big box so I wanted to come up with a self supporting gang plank type set up for them. Oh well, I cut backwards...

Beer 'n Lathing: April 2013

Just not at the same time. Thursday, April 18, 2013. My wife and I finally came to an agreement as to what to do with the chicken tractor. Our 15 birds are pretty big and the feeling was that the tractor wasn't big enough for them all. I really didn't want to split them up so we decided they will all stay in the dog pen coop. For the tractor we decided to get three bantam pullets from a local breeder. These full grown pullets are tiny! Links to this post. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. The "clamp" was thin eno...

Beer 'n Lathing: June 2013
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Just not at the same time. Sunday, June 23, 2013. Time for a quick update to all things going on before everyone, human and animal, wake up to start the day. The big news this week is that my best friend who lives all the way on the opposite side of the United States has come for a visit and will help us get our first batch of home brew started. Known as "the beer man," Mark used to deliver and now brews his own. I greatly enjoy his continuing friendship (and beers! Links to this post. Ready, set, egg!

Just not at the same time. Thursday, May 30, 2013. Graduation has come and gone. I believed that I would have a little bit more time to myself after my studies were completely done but I'm happy to say that I am currently busier than ever. I did not always agree with the subjects being taught, or even the instructors at times, but the bottom line is that I did learn, more than I could have ever anticipated. And the learning continues. Does the fact that I graduated mean that I have stopped learning?

Beer 'n Lathing: Water supply pipes a go-go
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2014/05/water-supply-pipes-go-go.html
Just not at the same time. Thursday, May 15, 2014. Water supply pipes a go-go. We pulled the water supply pipes out of the old barroom today. That required a little soldering, a little cutting, a little more soldering, and then finally a trip down town to get a cap for the PVC a little further down the line because I had to cut the copper line too close to the coupling with the CPVC and may have melted it. Oi vey. Let me know what you think! Comments and suggestions are always welcome! A window for horse.

Beer 'n Lathing: Job bid and siding update
http://beernlathing.blogspot.com/2014/05/job-bid-and-siding-update.html
Just not at the same time. Saturday, May 10, 2014. Job bid and siding update. We have gotten a couple more roofing bids out there. All wooden shingle and about the same size 1700 -1800 square feet. The latest one is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is just a teaser and I'll talk more about it if we get the contract. I'm slowly making my way around the workshop with the siding. I only get about 3 or 4 hours in the afternoon to work on it, but every little bit counts.

Beer 'n Lathing: December 2012

Just not at the same time. Monday, December 31, 2012. The Wood Workers Bible review. I finally finished reading my copy of "The Wood Worker's Bible: A Complete Guide to Woodworking" by Percy W. Blandford. Originally written in 1976 an republished by Popular Woodworking, this book claims to offer all the knowledge needed to get started in woodworking. There were drawn illustrations to explain the text. More of these would have been nice, and many of them were confusing. This was an ok book. I did lear...
