On Saturday I managed to procrastinate all day til it was time to take a nap before leaving for the company Christmas party, so nothing got done. But today I felt a little more like working so I headed out to the shop to put up the balcony I've been wanting. My friend Jeff came over and helped too, thanks for that or I doubt I would have been able to get it done.
It's 2x10 around the outside and 2x6 joists. It's 8' wide and 20' long.
I screwed a 2x4 to the 2x10 under the hoists to carry the joists. I could have used joist hangers, but this works good too and is a little easier to do.
Here it is all done.
I even got some of the "stuff" moved up before my knees gave out completely. The DC worked great for lifting that stuff up.
I got most of that stuff up, but some will get stored outside such as those wheel weights and castings. Supposed to be warm next weekend, so depending on my ambition level I think I'll work on the doors to the quanset shed and re-screwing the tin. We shall see tho. Still no sign of those dang peasants tho, I'm beginning to think I'll just have to do everything myself. Kinda dissapointed about that. Lol
