2 years of work so far.going to be a man cave shooting range.it is about 300 feet from my house by my shooting deck.
here's were i'm at as of today.Pictures are post from another site i'm on.
I rented this house for 35 years and the guy built all these crooked add ons and cut big holes in the kitchen walls
went from this to here as of today.back all cut off to original size.now the side and front to go.
still have all this to remove yet and build a new front porch with a metal roof too.
everything that guy built was crooked to big and had a flat roof that leaked. I have more to take off then to leave. cant wait to see it off. :? and 28 more pieces of tin to cut and put down on the back roof after some repairs on the wood. :?
Its getting smaller.
Been working a few hrs a day for 2 weeks and things are looking better. Had to get the electric inspected first cash out $80 . It passed and there coming this week to hook me back up. stripped the living room.got a window from the basement that was from the kitchen that went in the living room perfectly,they were the same at 1 time. and I took the other window from a room i took off. So now i have windows and doors. have to take out the sliding door and close in the wall on the side then i can put in the kitchen counters + cupboards i have been saving in my garage for years. the upstairs just needs some paint.It has pink in 1 room.
I took my dog max for the first time in the house and he hates the steps ,but when he got up there and saw he could look rite out the windows he fell in love.He ran from window to window looking out and barking. He got 4 chew sticks barried outside already.He laid by the window and watches over them like a king.
You may think i am crazy but the view and the quietness up there is so calming and not a house in site in any direction .
BIG DIFFERENCE
found out most guys like to shoot but don't like to work,so it's been slow. worked myself into the ground to get it closed up for winter but its there for now. 2 months of 99% alone to get here.
started again this August.
at it again,only have the wife and dog for help.all my shooting buddys are lost !!
well the basement walls are patched and pardged outside,still a bit wet from doing it yesterday but i can move on to the front base board then the porch wood is all waiting to go. But i'm about to pass out. I only do 4 to 6 hrs at a time and not every day.But 61 is older then i thought it was,I KNOW THAT!!
1200lbs of cancrete we used a mortor bag and filled every crack,hole first.. 1 spot took 2 bags till it came out in 3 different cracks full.
this side in the back was bad. we did it up nice for what we had to work with.
still at it...Have to back fill up to the second board.Have the decking boards still to clean . 10 hours so far on the deck.still using free scrap lumber.This came from a guy that replaces old or small decks for a living.I take his scraps and use them and if all goes OK i will be able to filp people off with my right finger again some day ,
Going slow but getting there.I got the materials gathered up for a 10'x13 tin roof to match the house.My pile of wood is getting smaller fast.
here's were i'm at today.
now to get this carried over ,cleaned and put down. Next week :?
before
I am looking for a 12" round kitchen light figture to replace that dirty think hanging there.You get a sun tan setting under it and the rest of the room is dark. ANYONE GOT A OLD 1 LAYING AROUND ?? something like in picture 4 in the living room.
