I can think of way worse addictions than the ones you just listed. Wood and tools seem to be my weakness for the moment.Steelart99 said:davidgiul said:Your pictures are just fine.

It turns out that not only am I now addicted to, and collecting wood, I've done the same with tools, fossils, meteorites, metals, stones ... sigh ... fortunately my wife is a saint ... and I make her lots of cool stuff so she wont dump me.

Dave, no plans, I designed it myself and drew it up on AutoCad. I wanted to use what is called Socket Systems, the black steel angles at the beam interfaces. That way, I could build it on the ground and raise the beams as a single unit. No crane required. 8x8 Doug fir beams cut to length, bolted together and raised with a winch attached to my jeep. A bit hairy at times. I just used 2' dia x 4' deep concrete pillars under the beams. No other foundation required but I added a concrete pad too. The entire downstairs interior is blue pine T&G which was actually cheaper than anything else. I have 8 wooded acres and great views. You should build one yourself. I'll help ... from here.:i_dunno:
