    Well…this sucked. After cutting reliefs, bending, screwing…board split at the last bend. :bang: Next attempt will be using plywood 3 layers, glued and screwed.

    Edit…yeah, learned something new! Would’ve been easy if I knew! Maybe I need to study and take the contractor exam.

    Plan to buy some scaffolding and a safety harness tomorrow. Also will get OSB for roof sheathing in hopes of getting it installed before the rain…depends on how late I stay up watching the NCSU game tonight.

    Plywood up on the front wall and windows cutout! Got my rafter template done, one cut and up. Will get the others cut and up tomorrow with hopefully time Friday morning for sheathing and roof paper before the rain comes. I’ve decided to add a 2’ish cantilevered roof on the front for looks...

    Walls are up, top plate nailed and side wall windows cutout. Hope to have time tomorrow evening to get plywood installed on the front wall and start cutting rafters. It is going to suck getting the roof sheathing installed.

    Got the other two walls mostly framed. Need to add plywood to the short wall, stand it up and then finish the front wall. I ran out of room to build the front wall…hindsight, so I’ll add the last two studs once it’s in place. Would’ve had all this done but ran out of steam and decided to quit...

    Wifi for sure! Wife says no TV but there will be one. For power I’m thinking a couple power strips that I can run an extension cord to from my shop when needed. I’ve got an outdoor plug on the back corner of the shop so it’s super close.

    TTT -- The Tool Thread

    Bought this baby circular saw recently. Weighs 5lbs and has some guts. Great for cutting 2x or thinner material. Nice to use for ripping plywood too.

    Today’s cut list and drawn ‘plans’ for the house. I do better thinking it and drawing vs following off the shelf plans. One wall done, three more to go! Nailing plywood before raising the wall is way easier vs trying to nail it from a ladder.

    Deck boards (aside from the curved front) nailed down and ends cut (left a 1” overhang). Turned out nice. Going to check out some windows tomorrow and hopefully will be framing the house later this week.

    Fresh cut wood from the backwoods of Goldston, nc. Got the chance to test out the four wheel drive on my new truck…worked great!

    Spring compressor around RDU?

    I have that tool and you’re welcome to use it. I might actually use it in a few years.

    Was hoping to get more done this afternoon but work got in the way. I did get maybe 2/3 of the decking nailed down. Went quick since I left the boards long and will come back, snap chalk line then cut with skill saw. My rough cut board and batten pieces are ready and I hope to pick them up on...

    Yeah pretty much that. Only downside is the appearance of ply versus milled. I’m gonna try the relief cut approach first and see how it goes.
