I can tell you think all the way around all the possibilities like I do Horst, the way you've described was in my list too but in the end I didnt' want to trap the alder leaf yuck and fir needles that would eventually build up in all the trapped ends of the grating. I had some heavy flat bar I could've put where the wood is now but it was just going to take too long to do. The way I figured it was If I put it together like this then I could use it for now and I could modify it easily piece by piece if it comes to it later. I'm pretty sure it will hold up well though and about the only thing I will need to do will be to lay down some more rubber matting or some boards when I walk the dozer across it to protect the grating a bit. The rubber track stuff won't hurt it a bit.

Hey me too! I think I meant if I was to use wood for the top part of the curb as well instead of the steel. I feel like i hit on a suitable compromise there. One things for sure, a good retirement would mean that I don't have to spend it rebulding all my crap just so I can use it:-) Probably going to happen anyway but I'm alllowed to dream a little:-)

Hey Thanks! Covered area and flat spaces for building are both hard to come by around here and I feel like I went 2 for 2 on this one:-)

@@ShredPilevery cool … I recently completed a container shop but two cans and wider … yours rocks

Hey great tip, that makes a lot of sense and i'll take any advice that eases the struggle:-) I guess in a perfect world I would have a nice rolling table right there to shuffle from but I'll need a good excuse and some time before that happens. Glad you found the channel!

Lol, or the only one silly enough to film in it:-)

Right on Joe, Glad your'e here and I'm just going to keep plugging away at it all trying to keep the clients happy:-)

Thanks, that one was a great score when it came along:-)

I appreciate that:-)

@@ShredPile Thank you and yours

I think that's pretty accurate Glen, we will see how long it takes to do the last 1%:-) I did ponder later after posting 2 of 2 why I had since the deck wasn't done but I figured it would work itself out somehow:-)

Awesome Robert, Thanks! It's nice knowing I can just roll across it now for access and I don't have to wait for dryer weather:-)

Haha, glad you noticed! Better than that, It is a Chicago 1422 so, 169" (14'-1" or 4.3m) by 22ga capacity. It was a mislabled CL ad and the guy had advertised a 10' x 12ga brake and I'd never seen one before but for 1500$ I wasn't going to leave it there:-) It has opened up a lot of possibilities just by having it around. You do get a lot of miles in tho when you bend stuff by yourself:-)

Lol, It feels like it's never ending sometimes doesn't it? Thanks for stopping in!

Hey thanks Steve, I wanted to make sure that It wouldn't break just as I got too old to get whatever piece of equipment I was on out of the creek by myself :-)

Thanks! yup, exactly right. I scored a big pile of thicker UHMW on craigslist a few years ago and made myself a seaming anvil out of a piece and the handle off of a $4 home depot tile trowel.

I'll probably transplant some ferns and stuff into that area. Right now the devils club and stinging nettles are what comes up year on year and i've been spraying them so I can work in there. eventually the ferns will win if I keep after it. I hear you on the back, total blowout about 20 years ago and a surgery to repair it. I follow a pretty specific diet that helps and I work in circles to keep me from doing any one thing all day long if I can help it. Usually jobsite messes are left to pick up in the morning because the easy light movements get everything loosened up for the day. I won't say it never goes out but if I follow my program it usually only lasts a day or two if it does.

Awesome, Perfect timing! I'm glad you found the channel:-)

No worries, It is not my house, I am just the framing subcontractor. My client is the GC and we work closely with the Architecture firm that is building it

thanks for that Greg, Every area has their own weather challenges that the locals always seem to conquer. For us here it's rain. Guessing for you it would be more along the lines of high heat and humidity in the summer. I honestly probably take more time off or miss more days because of heat than I ever do from cold and wet. You'll probably get a chuckle here this summer when you have to listen to me snivel about the high 80's to mid 90's :-)

Like a double feature! It wasnt' enough variety for two episodes so It just became one long one. It will be interesting to see if people coming back to watch any unfinished part will affect the view count by clicking a second time to finish it. I guess that's pretty normal tho, I often come back to videos 3-4 times to watch it all if i dont' have time right away.

@@ShredPile Just finished :) I recall watching the first 2 parts of the bridge build some time back, thinking to myself I wonder when you'll find time to finish it off and how you'll design / install the deck. Lovely job! So my curiosity is satisfied for the moment. But now looking forward to any future content when you open up the backyard. Also looking forward to seeing a compilation of the clips you mentioned in another comment on this video, that you've been gathering of the house build. I also recall that you mentioned a few folk had had a look around the house. I'm sure they will be more than happy with the build quality... Cheers for now

@@paulhammond7489 Thaknks Paul, I'm super happy to know I have access to the back now. It's going to open up some project possibilities for sure:-)

Oh we get a few but never really bad and never this early. Lots of bees tho and there was a surprise paper nest right in the opening shot:-)

@@ShredPile I wasn't sure what that was.

I thought I responded to this last night but I must've clicked away before hitting send. I sure hope so, 10 Years ago used to say i'm building for 50 years but now i'm just shooting for 40:-)

I've been saving up footge from there in bits and parts as I'm in and out staying caught up with windows and soffits and other odds and ends. Getting close to having enough for another episode soon and then i'll probably be in and out doing handrails so i'll be back to the job at different phases and will keep everyone posted as I can.

I appreciate that, thanks!

You got it:-)

I thought that too lol

Lol, nope! Borderline Clickbait imho:-)

Thanks Thomas, I’m happy that even the earliest efforts are holding up well enough to make nearly a completely watchable catalog:)

More or less. I’ve been in and out for some mechanical soffiting And some crane work moving materials around for some other subs. I’ve been slowly collecting bits of footage to document that as I can for another video. There should also be some handrail fabrication at some point to film as well.

@@ShredPile thanks. Love Jake's craftsmanship. I must say, this home is special. I would love to see it in its finished state if at all possible.

Good times:-)

He is, Thats why I need to get on the board with a win before I can't :-)

Nah, the gray ford is a spare truck and the white ford is my old main work truck. The newer ram I normally drive is in the shop waiting on a new def pump…:(

That one was my favorite, never had enough stuff though:-)

Although I realize this comment got put in the wrong video (which is something I would totally do as well:-) I'm pinning it because when I read it in my email I knew exactly who it was meant for since I've watched @Stucrompton1 as well for a long time and also enjoy his videos. I appreciate you checking my stuff out as well!

@@ShredPiletop work from Stu Crompton. He’s as enjoyable to watch as you. “Escape to Rural France” is doing incredible work also

I think it was:-) It sure hurt for a bit in any case.

Lol, I'm not even sure I had my router with me. That truck was in the shop at the time. Didn't have to be pretty (and it wasn't:-)

Lol, 'live action design' :-)

Oh that’s a great idea. It won’t help to mark the bolt because I can’t see it anyway from the seat of the forklift, but a simple mark on the inside underneath of the porch to match up with a mark on the concrete block would almost ensure that it went together first try every time.

Exactly, Coop's awesome and I wanted video proof that I won that game as street cred in the future:-)

Awesome, maybe it's the scale of it or how it makes if from the pile of wood into some you can (or can't:) apply your own magic to? Either way, I appreciate you checking it all out!
