Rytheric posted:How inconceivable is it to imagine me laying a 5x5 against the side of a building and just pulling or hoisting it up then assembling it with another and just tilting it up. Here is a time lapse of one in a different style being build. No crane involved. This doesn't take super genius intelligence or strength to do. How inconceivable is it for a small group of people with experience to do that like in your link? Not at all. Rytheric posted:I was in a rush for a date. I can get the hardware after I saw the bottom to size and poly the doors. The frame is essentially already done as I'm using the studs, sills, and plates as the frame. So you're making your own frame. This is gonna be great. Have you ever hung a door before? Do you have a door hanging kit or are you gonna go all old school craftsman and cut the hinges in with a chisel? Do you have a drill, bits and hopefully a jig for the handle hardware? How is this going to stay closed when you're driving around? How big of a gap are you leaving around everything, and how did you calculate that amount of space to prevent these doors from being crushed the very first time you drive the truck over anything other than a smooth road after you've installed them?

Mycroft Holmes posted:Ry, you're in NC, right? I am too. There's an NC thread in the LAN subforum, so if you need some help building your house, I'm sure some of us would be happy to help. Not me, though. I have a heart problem. You could be the firewatch (make sure no one looks at risk of missing their footing/not paying attention or losing conscious from heat stress and so on) or grill master. I will pay like $100 a day for those who help if there is interest when the time comes. As long as an army doesn't show up. Lol

Motronic posted:How inconceivable is it for a small group of people with experience to do that like in your link? Not at all. I have an army of chisels waiting to be sharpened and used again. I prefer things the old craftsman way. I'd rather cut plywood with a chisel than a skill saw. Have an army of drill bits. I hung that plywood door you see in the photo. And I have a reference french door that I'm modeling everything on. French doors you have a retractable bolt that you push down into a receiver mortise like a fancy pad bolt. Ive installed several door knows in my time. Like you're tripping over the simplist things.

Rytheric posted:Also I know polyurethane was the protective layer. I was asking if the paint one suggested was necessary. I was just saying it’s an option. Either poly them with or without stain, or prime and paint them. So no it’s not necessary, if you want to keep it simple just do several coats of a good exterior poly.

You should really find a railroad tie and see how long it takes you to chisel a single tenon. You'll be at that poo poo for months building a whole house.

um excuse me posted:You should really find a railroad tie and see how long it takes you to chisel a single tenon. You'll be at that poo poo for months building a whole house. Yeah that is the labor intensive part. I've chiseled tenons before. Ironically enough, I'm actually doing some geotech work to address a sinking railroad road. Maybe I can ask them for a tie as a souvenir.

I predict that Rytheric will discover that timber framing is far more difficult and much slower than it looks on YouTube. I hope he proves me wrong, though.

Deteriorata posted:I predict that Rytheric will discover that timber framing is far more difficult and much slower than it looks on YouTube. I imagine it will take me about a year or two to build as my finances allow. This year I will likely buy the land, finish GroverTruk, finish the timber shitter, clear the land, and get started on the septic. I still need to price the abandonment and replacement of the well, if it's cheap that might get done this year too. Then next year start on the MurderHaus. This is all based on a burn rate of 10-15k a year.

Even if you know what to do, it's probably best to form technique and precision on a piece of scrap before doing it to your literal house that you need to live in.

Motronic posted:Yes, it is I "tripping" over the simplest things. You sure are weirdly hostile for no reason, random goon. Rytheric isnt asking you to invest in his hotdog restaurant, he's not trying to get you to move to texas and start a goon colony, and he doesnt need to prove anything to you. Maybe you should take a break from being an rear end in a top hat for a little bit and see how that goes.

The problem here is that a decent percentage of what's being posted here is complete fabrication. I'm just not sure what percentage it is yet.

Oh yeah I use a Japanese pull saw as my go to. All the 2x4s and 2x6s in the GroverTruk bedroom framing were shortened to size with the pull saw.

um excuse me posted:I'm surprised square broaches that you just, like, slam through wood with a hammer isn't a thing. Wood has a habit of crushing and splitting. You need to remove the bulk of the material with a drill, then use a mortising chisel to square it up.

Yes, my entire life is also completely wrapped up in my job to the point where I never do anything that doesnt directly relate to it in some way. Please, continue getting to the bottom of things. We are all terribly interested in your deep investigation. Im sure that if you put your mind to it, you can find a way to completely ruin an otherwise great thread on this dying forum.

Motronic posted:So "your craft" is now.....woodworking? Not chemistry or whatever term you're using for environmental remediation? I'm trying to keep good notes here but things change so quickly. I'm no longer doing chemistry. I do environmental work now. Woodworking, jewelry making, and Mars colonization research are hobbies that I hope to turn into a craft along with sailing. I put a halt to my woodworking to focus on saving for the land of MurderHaus though. Edit: I determined the best course of action was to put my life on hold for 2 years to save for land. So my bosses garage which is littered with woodworking tools, chemistry sets and the like has been dormant for two years. It's about to reawaken though.
