I have been working on one of my long term projects its took me years to gather free lumber are cheap lumber. Right now I have a nail gun, nails, 14 sheets of 7/16 OSB and $130 ($1 apiece) in used 2X4's invested in it. Time wise 2 days in pulling nails out of the used 2X4's what a JOB... I have probably pulled nails out of 200 are more :twisted: I have got to builds 5 more have lumber for 3... About one a day on the week end is all I have the time for but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.. To keep it tractor related I used my Bota to load them into the trailer. Some are short some are long it depended on the condition of the lumber and how much I had to cut them to have good lumber.

That looks real good Hobo! And neatly done!
None of them crooked looking leaners some
guys try to build
 

I have plenty of mistakes I am getting better at it I am not much of a wood worker the tricks of the trade are not my cup of tea. I tried to farm it out to several guys they did not want the job.
 

Organization is a good thing. How did you get the Victor-Reinz Silicone to the bottom of the groove?

I start the cap about a 1" and apply it as I install the cap. Its been awhile I would think I used alignment pins of some sort and packed the RTV in.
