Getting really good Dee. Very creative - you've got me looking forward to each new installment. I feel honored to be working beside you on this. You want me to bring in another load of sticks? I guess I better hose 'em down real good first every time I pick up a bundle they go up in flames. We'll never get done at this rate . . . . .

Thanks boss...just gettin warmed up. "We'll never get done at this rate"? Does that mean the fun will just go on and on? That wood be cool. I don't really have a time-line, as far as the TP structure goes. It takes a lot of patience, but I'm a pretty tenacious guy....so IT will get done someday. And this forum...ah boss, it's very cool, and you do a great job with it...considering all the (pardon my french) crap out there. The real world isn't always a nice place.

Be careful Mr. Johnturner, with an avatar like that you just might find yourself carrying tooth picks around on my job-site one of these days. I'm always looking for good visitors and help.
Peace, Dee

Well well what do we have here now...it looks like RipJacks little R2D2 guy just rolled up. Correction-was RipJacks little R2D2. He's mine now. Awwww, don't worry RJ, I'll take good care of him. Lots of room for him to roam around, he will like it here. No worries. BTW, what's he eat?

How can this get any better. You might need some help from a monkey that calls himself and ape - make sure to assign menial tasks to the monkey - he is a smart ass and should have already been banned by now anyway . . . . . . .

This thread is not in anyway meant to offend, harm, or otherwise hurt anyone in any way. If you ever feel so, please don't hesitate to let me or the moderators know. My intention was (is) to bring something new and bright to this forum in a fun way, and so this is what I came up with. I wood sincerely feel bad if I offend anyone.
Peace, Dee :cool2:

Dee, I looked in my black book and Ann's number seems to have been smudged by some tear drops from the last time I called her. :irate:

I'm not gone even 2 days and guess what...yep you got it. The guys thought the job site wood make a great place to conduct their war games. I guess it's ok-but when this is over there's a lot of work to catch up on not to mention the clean up. Anyway you decide the outcome...this is the way I saw it...

Image 1: The over all battlefield, then zoom down. Image 2: The opponent is about to put a cap in R-13. Image 3: Bigfoot pops up from behind a barrier to create a distraction so R-13 can slip off to safety. I wood imagine he's yelling out something to the effect, "hey! you can't hit me, I'm the gingerbread man". Good ole bigfoot, always clowning around. If you look closely at image 1 you can see Minnie Me flanking the opponent ranks on what appears to be an Abrams tank. I've no doubt he was the deciding factor in our win. Chalk up another one for the home team!
Peace, Dee :cool2:

Alrighty then, now that the site is cleaned up, R-13 and Bigfoot (hands still in the air) wanted to show you they did actually get some work done while I was away. And I'm pretty impressed. Most doors these days come to a work site pre-hung in the jamb, and that's fine, but the guys wanted to build the jamb on-site. As you all know the arch in engineering is one of the, if not the strongest load bearing structures that can be built (gravity considered). Ancient builders realized this long ago, and you see their arch work throughout many parts of the world. That being said, I will let the guys show you what they came up with.

Oh, and by the way. One little girl saw the picture of Bigfoot in the "Woodbarters flip chart story book", and asked, "why does Bigfoot have his hands up all the time"? I relpied, "he likes to do jumping jacks". It was the best answer I could come up with in a hurry. I would like to have put up pics of the reactions to the story book, but due to medico- legal issues it would be ethically inappropriate on my part.
Peace, Dee :cool2:
The arch top doorway and walls now under construction will be part of the first building, and will connect to the "K-deck" via upper walkway bridge. Once the walls and doors are in place, the guys will move on to ceiling joists and rafters. Then the roof.
