Now we can start assembling the quanset hut. Interesting to say the least. Glad we could gather up all the help, we needed it. These buildings are not the easiest to assembly. Lots of swearing and beer required.

We got a bunch of buddies together to do a single pour. Took 36 yards of concrete. We rented a power screed and power trowel. Should have rented 2 power trowels. I plan on acid staining the concrete.

We laid down plastic for a moisture barrier and set the rebar.

We roughed in the plumbing. The concrete pad needs a key way for the hut edges to sit in on the long sides. We built a cantilever system so that when we pour the forms are already set.

Footings poured. The laser level is a gift from god. We cut some rebar 18 inches and drove them down to the right depth so we knew how much concrete to pour and keeping the footing somewhat level. Keeping it level will make forming the 2x12 alot easier since that has too be level. After we...

As I mentioned earlier, my bro-in-law is scared of snakes so he was looking for buildings that would provide a defense against mice and the snakes that want to eat them. We settled on a Quanset hut that would be 30x35 with a concrete floor. Once up, we would frame 2 bedrooms, bathroom and...

The camper is better than nothing but it is only a 3 season camper. Of course, the camper gets the most use in the winter. We had a few days we couldn't keep the temperature of the camper above 50 degress (around zero at night). With 3 people, all our gear, 1 bed, etc it has made for very...

I planned to start on a cabin build in 2015 but I ended up getting a divorce instead. So with what little money I had left after that ordeal I bought a travel trailer that we could use until I financial recovered.

We have a small piece of property that we deer hunt on. We moved this mobile home into place in 1991 and it served us well for many years. Eventually the roof started to leak bad enough that patching and roof coatings were not cutting it anymore. So in 2014 I framed a roof, had it sheeted and...

I've been wanting to create a thread for this. I'll try to get one going.

I'm lucky that I can work from home so I haven't missed a beat. I've been building a hunting cabin so I'll continue to work on that.

for you younger guys out there.....

People seem to have no empathy and if the Lion attacks do not effect them personally they will continue to vote against hunting seasons for predators. And some folks value animals over children. Case in point, we had a guy pour bleach on a dog and that story was the local lead story for 3...

Here in illinois, all schools will be shutdown starting tomorrow and the earliest the kids will go back is March 31. All bars and restaurants that have sit down seating are closing starting tomorrow. We have plenty of cloth diapers left from when the kids were babies, not worried about...

Lol

My company went work from home for the foreseeable future. We are a software development company so we won't miss a beat. Looking forward to not driving during rush hour.

Slow day over on hunttalk?

I think I'll pass on that.
