.... My shop ain't much but it was the best I could do with the property space I had. I have bad knees and a very bad back and built it completely alone. The ten foot wall were a bitch but stick framing the 5/12 pitch roof almost killed me. Not kidding.. Take a look if you are interested. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/557324341SiDLed lol, been there, done that! My own coup d'grace was building my own wheelchair ramp in front of the house; I knew I'd be needing it shortly and was right. Today it's a godsend. It's a real challenge figuring how to get stuff up properly without getting off the ground/floor or using ladders but after 8 months, I had it done! The only help I had to get was my nephew to drive the 4x4's 4' into the ground. I used metal for the roof, fastened wood "hookers" to it, slid it into place and screwed it to the frame from inside. Now I've got a nice little "microporch" (where the landing is) and a 30' ramp, all built to the ADA guidelines, and it even passed inspection the first time. The inspector made me feel great by asking a lot of "how did you ... " questions, too! Great for the ego. It's amazing what one can do when properly motivated, isn't it? It might take me a long time, but I get 'er done sooner or later, usually later acording to the swmbo. Pop` |
