 Lap North panels over South panels.
8 bags of QuickCrete
4 Stringers 2" x 6" x 16'
Approximately 150 3" deck screws
4 StrongTie brackets


Finishing Details
Time used for this project:
I would suggest looking at the drip-line of the roof and making arrangements to catch or at least channel storm run-off.
A volunteer service crew of about 10 from the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints completely cleared the site of a large pile of scrap wood and a variety of farm debris in about one hour = 10 man-hours.
I would also suggest at least a leveled floor/work area.  
Moving the roof used a crew of 7 on-site workers (not all of them all of the time)and was accomplished in about 5-1/2 hours = about 20 man-hours.
If you are going to collect and recycle sawdust, a vacuum collector will be needed if you don’t pave the floor.
Digging the post holes with manual post-hole diggers took about 2 man-hours.
In this NW Missouri climate, at least North and West weather protection should be considered.
At this writing, the concrete has not yet been set nor the roof raising completed.

Latest revision as of 03:25, 4 October 2011

In order to build the proposed work shop, an existing roof structure had to be moved. Rather than tear it down completely, it was decided to put it to use to cover an area that would most likely be used to house milling equipment for preparing boards from native trees. This page contains information about how that project is to being accomplished.

Mind Map

The planning for this part of the project was done with a FreeMind mind map.
