Man this Barn...AKA my future bad ass WORKSHOP was fucked up as a chicken's ass prior to me gettin my talented fingers on it....basically a pole barn on 6x6's constucted from what appears to be "salvaged" materials of various sorts by some unknown jack-legged carpenters who started drinking at 7a.m......my guess is that they started out open-framed, poured a slab, put up walls (w/ untreated 2x4 framing w/ direct ground contact...yeah the shit wasn't even on the slab....) then called it a day....even the GD roof doesn't have felt under the shingles, but all-in-all, at this point I have the makings of one bad-ass 1,044 square foot workshop in which to tinker to my hearts content....
Before.........what a dump
Ghetto ass rotten ranchito............
Man, what drunken carpenter decided to build this???? Direct ground contact untreated lumber
Tearin the bitch down....
Gutted like a deer...
Where's my ultimate demo tool the chainsaw???
Building perimeter footers..

If you want to mix concrete by hand, I suggest you build an "Irish" cement slew box like this one....
I can rebuild it!!!
Somebody please fix this thing!!!!
Pressure washed
Plywood, plywood and mo plywood
Bee-U-ti-Full!!! I move the old door to the left so as not to interfere w/ the bay doors..header is for future overhang and oyster eatin tables..
Might as well fix the other wall while yer at it...
Here's what the above looked like on day-one.....
Get that damn pole out my way!!!
Don't put angle iron like this...
instead, like this...bolts thru face, lags into the bottom....no saggin beams allowed!!!
OSHA approve safe work practice....unless you got a helper, ya gotta think things thru so as to not drop a 80lb chunk a metal on yer head...
Saggin bay before....
and voilla!!! no saggy saggy....the canvas inside is the mad artist's (aka "the Cowbird") idea
Door Ideas, CAD dwgs....should I paint the trim with the Stars and Bars???..naw, just kiddin, maybe in the Mexican Flag motif...mas tarde
