Yea. The last of the red oak. It’s really pretty. Those slabs are about 250 each.

Man that’s big!
Whoa, that's serious! What are you naming it, USS North America? Does it come with its own zip code, what's the area code for that thing? I bet it creates its own mini gravitational field! Do things suddenly pop off the ground and start to orbit around it?
Does ATC offer clearances for low flying jets to safely clear that thing? You know you have to put blinking lights on anything taller than 200 feet! Have you ever seen mini weather systems forming on the inside? What sort of viewing system (Telescope??) do you use to see from one end to the other?
What about communications?? I assume you have several cell phone towers erected here and there on the inside! Have you ever lost a small child on the inside? Does it require climbing lessons to be able to get to the sleeping areas? And when you get there do you require oxygen to stay there? Do you ever see birds of prey swooping about on the inside?
Do you get a decent quality echo? HELLO, HELlo. HEllo, hello... Has the national park service ever contacted you about allowing visitors to view the vast interior expanses?
Do the people living on the inside all speak English? Any river or mountain systems forming in there? Is there enough room to do a full stop landing or perhaps a go around with a full traffic pattern?
Is there cultural diversity between the various people living on either end? Has the US navy asked to use it for night landing practice for F-18's? If you had to turn it would it require an addition to the national highway system? Has it showed up on any police or FBI Intel report as a UFO?
Has the military ever been sent to investigate it? Do people in white coats ever show up to drill core samples in it to determine its make-up? If it were to move, then stop suddenly would it show a tic on the Richter scale? Say in China? Is it visible from space? And have you ever noticed the formation of polar caps on either end?

Man be careful with that thing, its big!

Tex - looks outstanding on all accounts!  I agree that the rotation of the fridge into line with the sink/countertop will look/flow better.  You could put up a couple shelves and some coat hooks where the fridge now stands if you go that route.

Those slabs of wood look like they're really special and will make beautiful furniture when you decide what to use them for!

Tex,

Just completely over the top in a classy way.
Double thumbs up on one really nice build.
Everything well thought out and sorted. We all have learned so much watching this come together.
(All your photos of the brown stuff reflecting the evening fire got me to enjoy some of those moments myself)
I give this whole thing the coveted and just created"TBERM" award (The best ever on Real Man).
And you are competing in some tall cotton. Salt Lake Daves home, Shawn's, well, his wife's place, well, his wife and daughter's place, JR's palace on the roof, my shed (Just kiddin' with that one), and so many more.

Well done indeed!

Oh and along with receiving the award you also get a hardy handshake and a toothy smile from you'r truly, a rare glimpse of "the Duane" and immediate pay raise of 10%, complimentary additional posting, and one get out of fired card which you can use for yourself or pass along to some Dave or Ken or J named people, or just anyone else that you may choose which, of course I will subsequently disapprove

Congratulations!

Probably. He sure seems generous. Thanks for the encouragement Don. It started small and quickly grew into a beast. Just glad to put the final touches and call it done.  For those keeping score it took the better part of two years.  Not exactly setting speed records.

Daughter took the inaugural shower last night.  She approves.  And I realize I was right to be worried about a tankless water heater. Wife had to run her out after 30 minutes.

I have a box full of receipts. The next fun episode will be to sit and tally all that up and determine the real cost.

I may want to build it again someplace in ID.

I need that in our living room! We haven’t turned the AC on yet this year because it had been cooling off well enough at night. But I think that has finally past, last night didn’t drop below 69.

Thanks Sam.

Today, I transported the second bunk bed from the shop to the casita where I assembled it.

Starting to get my shop back.  This week I intend to install that Grizzly locker that’s been sitting on the shelf for 6 months.

Then I installed some can lights on the back porch since the fan I installed didn’t have lights and there were none on the porch.

That lead to all kinds of drama.  Once I selected the locations, and cut the holes,of course directly above the holes were bracing that I couldn’t cut so I had to go back to the store (2 hr trip) to get low profile recessed cans.

Then I spray painted the bezels oil rubbed bronze metallic krylon and got them installed along with a dimmer switch.

much better.

Railing upstairs was just not fitting on the wood trim along the opening of the stairs, so I cut the railing and welded it back up.

Now that I figured out that welding with gas and solid wire requires a polarity change, (DOH!) my gas welding is getting better. Still need some practice..

So today, after spending an hour in a parking lot with the oldest teaching her to park between the lines, I stopped in at harbor freight and bought the kit with the small and large HVLP guns in a blow molded case for $49.

Took a bit of adjusting but got it dialed in and sprayed the railing where I welded after using some self etching primer from a can.

Then took it back upstairs and installed it with HeadLok screws (like timber lock but with a large flat head).  12 screws into the wood triumph it sits on and the subfloor and in a couple of instances, the engineered joists, and that thing would support Ken’s girlfriend..

Then took it back upstairs and installed it with HeadLok screws (like timber lock but with a large flat head).  12 screws into the wood triumph it sits on and the subfloor and in a couple of instances, the engineered joists, and that thing would support Ken’s girlfriend..

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Well now that the casita is done there are a few housekeeping items to attend to. The seacan has never been properly organized and all my reloading stuff was just kinda thrown in there.  Today I started organizing and cleaning. I also took time to clean a few weapons just to make sure the other enemy (rust, as opposed to politicians) didn’t get a hold of my stuff. Started with the most expensive and working my way down. So far they all were fine from when I put them away a couple of years ago but I cleaned the bores and oiled them again.

This is the prettiest gun i own.



Weatherby MkV 460. Very few rounds down it. The bluing is like a mirror. Check out the bolt.


Thing is massive.

This thing slings a 400gn bullet at 2700fps. 115gns of powder iirc

Is that a custom stock set, very nice either way. I didn’t know you guys hunted elephants down there. Even with the brake I bet you feel it take off.   :likebutton:

Thanks Bob. That’s a laser engraved stock. It came that way from the factory. And yes. 5-6 rounds sighting it in is about all you I can handle and then some. Not sure how old it is. I bought it NIB from and estate sale. It has maybe 15 rounds down it.
