Popular Post curlyoak Posted February 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 2 months to get to this point. Dealing with architect and county. Rules here are very tough in Florida. Due to past hurricanes. So good rules keep home owners ins cost down. But they get carried away. Like what is the historic water flow on the property. But that time and money for nothing part is over. It gets inspected tomorrow and poured next week. The elevation wall in the pic is 12' and the other wall is 15'. One back door at the far end of the 15'. Lumber and plywood storage behind the garage door. Yard tools in the back door. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The yard stuff is in the yard. The garage is my shop. My shop has too much lumber and plywood and not enough space. And I have some lumber warehoused that wants to come home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking you needed to store your yard stuff inside for the winter but I just now noticed you live in Florida. Id be interested in seeing more pictures of your storage shed build as it comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankstick Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Didn't notice that you lived in Florida. I live in SE TN, still deal with humidity. 2018 set a record for rainfall. Anticipate a dry summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am glad someone explained about the printing. Technically they are not trees. They are palmettos. Natural to here and all the way up the coat to the Carolina's. I like tropical things. This is strange. Believe it or not it is an orchid. dendrobium spectable. A natural species. From the Solomon Islands. Looks like an alien...Growing in my collection. I will pressure clean that wall.The printing will be done all at once at the end of the work. Unless I use the drum sander... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend years ago who could name just about any Orchid by its Latin name. There are some really intricate plants in those families. Had no idea they could be that big a plant!

So the number of hybrids is infinite. There are orchids on 6 of the 7 continents. Most are air plants. Some grow in the ground. There are orchids with much bigger flowers than posted here. This flower is about 3 inches across. And there are tiny ones that need a magnifying glass to see the details. And many of them love to grow on "strange trees" like palmettos.

Popular Post curlyoak Posted February 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 In my younger days I would have done all the work. With a helper. Now a lot less. Concrete slabs I can't even help. Working on the ground or on a ladder is very limited nowadays. On the slab all I can do is watch. On the carpentry I am delegated to the second helper. I will do whatever needs done at bench level. And sweep and clean. And get and cut materials. I do remember long ago working for people my current age. I thought then someday I will do the easy part. The someday came too fast. So I am waiting on my carpenter friend to get free and move this shed along. He is worth waiting for. He also installs cabinets I build. He makes my work look better. So I will wait... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 And the next step. Materials delivered. They acted like a bad cable guy. Their office said between 1 and 2. Got here 3:30. Driver said this morning he knew when he would be here. Liars, inconsiderate and dumb. But got good materials. And Monday morning the carpentry begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is 2x6 construction code for your area or did you just want this built extra sturdy? The opening for the man door looks large what size did you go there? Also regional differences entertain me. My first though was. Wow there isn't going to be much slope on that roof. Snow loads might be problematic..... It's hard for me to remember that not everyone usually gets 48" of snow annually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
