Halfpipe Update:
Got 2 layers of 3/8 plywood on. Next I will paint the plywood to help it with the elements a bit. After that the pool coping will get set, and I will add the finishing masonite layer.
Then its shred time....

Killer design there F. Really changed the front look of the cabin.

Yeah, it's amazing what you can do with a bar napkin doodle, a few onsite spruce, and a chainsaw.

Yeah.... That was a point of contention. Homeowner saw that detail somewhere and wanted it. I told him helical piles were appropriate. He asked if it would fail his way, and I said no, but it might sag in a decade if we ever get real snow loads again. He wanted that detail still. I told him it would cost around 5k extra..... He said that 5k is a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.1 mil they are into the land, earthwork, and house for. F*#k it. I can't see it from my igloo. Personal aesthetics apparently trump common sense if you have more money than Jesus.

Treez-I love the utilization of ports inside any structure. Little nautical touch whether on land or on the water.
We have one between the settee and the main cabin on Shanachie which helps with air flow and ventilation, always welcome on any boat especially in the tropics.

Yeah Treez is a badass.
Edge, I missed this "Apr 1, 2016 - 10:54am PT
Nice Flip Flop. Do you have a high wind problem?"
Are you asking because the table is so beefy? Hehe. People really enjoy the heft and the mighty feel of a real table. They're great work benches too. The originals are at Sanctuary Rock Gym in Monterey and have been well loved for 20 years with no problems.
Guido, I want to install a boat style ladder and door to my shepherds trailer. Um, what is a sailboat entry called?
Hey DMT, thanks. See you out there maybe.
F, crazy bent. I've never seen that kind of cross bracing design. Looks sharp. Nicely done. I'm sure that there is plenty of structure to support that overhang. Mountain houses are so overbuilt but then waste the available cantilever. Alps Mountain houses use cantilevers and flatter roofs to maximize coverage, minimize footers and create protected space around the home. We're slow in the uptake.

Love the router base cleat!
My old climbing buddy Harper passed away last summer and just before he left us he offloaded this classic anchor to me. Perfect towel rack for the outdoor shower.

Paying work was a little slow in the shop this week , so I fabricated this jib crane from steel that i had on hand.
10' lift, 10' reach with a 180 degree swing radius and about 1,000# capacity.
Combined with my other hoists , I can now move heavy projects all the way from the finishing area at the back end of the shop and into my truck .
As I get older, I'm trying to work smarter , not harder.

This thing rolls like butter.
Basically its done for now. Gonna be in the Keys for the next couple of weeks but when I get back I will do one final Masonite layer and paint it again just to beef it up a bit more and protect it.
Skate or Die...
Got Lady finger pool coping all sauced up and set...
Got bullnose pool coping and steel pipe for the more "mellow" side...
Been one fun project. Wife says it's "extreme". I say "I'm just trying to have a good time..."

Work progresses on the wagon. I laid the linoleum last weekend (I think I laid some before some 30 years ago, but I'm not sure) and it came out great. In lieu of a 100# roller, I eeked out the bubbles and assured a tight bond with six crisscrossing grids of 168# herringbone steps.
Today the bed side/table/drawer face went in with associated cabinet back, drawer cleats, hanging shelf, and two table runners. The runners were built up of plywood and lined top, bottom, and side with 3/8" UHMW plastic. Along with cleats screwed to the four sides, these support the bed deck. I also screwed on the two bench seats for full extension drawers and the 9" cabinet that will be the left side of the stove surround, and cut the back, left leg off the existing antique ice chest so that it would fit over the wheel well. More trickery needed here now that I have the measurements.
The other craftsman who worked on the ceiling got the v-joint pine up and painted a nice robins egg blue just the day before.
Next step is milling trim for the windows, building the decks over the wheel wells on either side just inside the door, and then adding two layers of cement board separated by a 1/4" air gap for the 12" stove surround.
