Built with burroak 2x6 rafters ,2x12 burroak ridge board and eaves

We are going to sheet it and the section of house it is attached to this week end

Looks good! Looks like you’re sitting pretty nicely there.

My oldest son has been threatened not to jump off roof . Not many spurs around here .we genèraly herd our cattle with a feed bucket .

Love this, I'm hoping that the materials were local. Can't express how much making things out of local products makes me warm inside!

Looks good

Looks great, Mark. But like I told you, walking boards and 2X12 Burr Oak end plates. Uh-Uh! Glad you got Zane and Peyton to help you.

Trees i cut and had sawed

Still, it would be a cool sign

Trapping has been profitable it appears!

That it would

I havnt set more than a half doz sets in three years LOL . It might have more to do with the high price of white oak barrel stave logs .

Your selling white oak logs that are used for barrel staves? Would those be for whiskey barrels? My ancestor that was the first to come from Ireland was a cooper!

Whiskey "and wine barrels . I sell more= stave logs than everything else combined.

Bigfoot You will be patting yourself on the back for as long as you live there for doing your summer time project We had a deck for about 14 years before we put a roof over it . I only wish it had not taken so long to see all the benefits. Much more comfortable under the deck and in the house in the summer . Less weather related issues summer/winter And adds to appearance and value of home .Looks like a job well done NOW ENJOY

Must be a shortage of good oak to us for barrels. I remember garden stores selling wooden whisky barrel halves for planters. They were charred on the inside. Oak is a slow growing tree I believe. How old is the tree when it's large enough to cut for staves?
Property with mature white oak must be pretty spendy as well?
