Friday June 19th 2020-What's on Your Weekend Agenda?
Larry Buskirk posted a topic in General Woodworking
A little late, but happy Friday! And a Happy Juneteenth Day to all of you! As for me here in S.E. Wisconsin I'm still working on the Greenhouse Shed I mentioned in the Monday topic. I've made some pretty good progress after taking a couple of steps back due to these plastic sheds requiring just about a perfectly level surface for them to rest upon. I went the extra step of making an adjustable skid to keep this thing as level as I can. We get some pretty serious frost heave in this area. It's almost like mowing a different yard every year due to it. So I made some heavy duty elevator bolts so I can adjust the level as necessary. I'm late today due to trying to beat the sun from crispy frying me to a crackly crunch. I just can't take cooking in the sun like I used to. So below are some photos of the progress so far. The first photo shows yesterdays progress of getting a skid built under the main section. I couldn't get pictures of the work in progress due to building the skid under the Greenhouse/Shed. These are the elevator bolts I made up from 5/8" threaded rod. They fit into holes drilled into the 3 4 x 6 x 12's. There are also 2 2 x 6 x 12's ran between the 4 x 6's, they are hung in joist brackets. This photo shows the skid frame that goes under the greenhouse section. There will not be as much weight on this section so it is all made from 2 x 6's, with the exception of the 4 x 4 blocks used for the elevator bolts. This photo shows the elevator bolts in the 4 x 4 blocks. The main section bolts go into the 4 x 6 x 12's. I'm now back to where I was before having to get a better surface for this project to rest upon. Still have to do a bit of tweaking, and build a ramp for the zero turn. So I'll be working around the sun/weather. You know what I'll be doing. So what have you all got planned for the weekend?
