@deankay44343 жыл бұрын
Peter, this is for me, one of those videos I have too, watch, watch and watch again. I can use my imagination to see what you see, the smell of fresh timers, boards, perhaps even the tools in my hand including the vibration in arm, that feel of power & when the tool loads and struggles. Growing up on a Midwest farm, we built many things. Bridge planks recycled, using a horse-shoe magnet over every in for 12 inch nails, rail road cross-ties cut, notched and chiseled flat as finished with the block plane. Those memories allowed me to experience and live your project. People say “Stop and Smell the Roses”, but I disagree as the lumber-timber and the aroma after a large cut. My wife of 40 yrs, just said two days ago “Let’s build a car port”, although I had been thinking “Car Port” for weeks prior! Perhaps I invaded her seams but you Peter, have giving the energy. My mind will be elsewhere regardless of the fast at hand. I will sleep with a smile. In Nebraska, our footings are 4 foot deep. I saw the tar paper/water proofing material although I am not sure about the hole and bolt. I think a bar of steel (1/4” X 1”) the width of the timber thru a narrow mortise then a hole & nut. Got to think more, code dictates a lot. Absolutely excellent design, execution, tool usage, equipment use and the star of the show, the timbers. Really enjoyed the video, clearly spoken and you smile that screams “Hey, it’s work, but I am enjoying it” “Where’s my brew”? Construction, fabricating and finished. Something you can say, I helped built that! Retired auto tech, all brands, all repairs. Thank you!
