The Little Shelter Is Framed

Dick L · Oct 11, 2015

I have it ready for the plywood. Cutting the tall posts with a chain saw was a real trick. After getting the loader bucket positioned so I could lean on the rafters it took some trials to hold the chain saw where I wasn't taking a big chance of cutting into myself before I started it. Probly a bigger trick was getting it started standing in the bucket with my arm looped over the rafter. I keep thinking that if Dixie was video taping me doing these things I would give Tim Conway a run for his money.

^D
Anyway it is framed and I didn't make a trip to the ER.

I bought an electric chain saw a couple years ago on a Black Friday sale, but never did use it. Got a chance to send a bunch of stuff to ND in a guy's pickup, so sent the chain saw to my nephew as I figure in my present condition I would likely hurt myself with that if I used it. A serious cut right now might likely be the end of me.

What is it for? It looks pretty tall for livestock.

I am or was 6' 2" and I set the front header at 6' and feed at the low end. I was thinking of my own comfort rather than the horses.

Looks good. You must live in a warm part of the country, that would never stand up with our snow loads here in the North East.

The picture must make it look larger than it really is. It is only 8' X
10'.
