Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

But framing is coming to an end.
I will be hoping to pass inspection next week, with an "OK" to "wrap".

Here is my project with all the shear paneling installed, the roof sheathing on, & the facia attached.

Back to the inside looking up to the roof sheathing.

DSCN0071

The sheathing has a foil "radiant" layer on the inside.

And here is the steel beam connection from the "ridge" to the "hip" beams.

DSCN0073

That`s almost it for this project.
I`ll show you all the extraneous roof connections next time.
That`s where it gets complicated.
Then, it`ll be on to the next one.
I shall come back to this one for more work down the road.
BTW, I do much more than framing buildings.
I`m also a "master carpenter" when it comes to finish work.
I should post some of my work published in magazines, but I only want to brag.
I do love the work I do, (if you can`t tell)

I have a few positive/negative stones with fossil shells much smaller. Guess they grew larger there (later, too, as a guess).

I didn't want to disturb anything, but people like to see member photos...

I should probably invest in a better camera/varied lenses, given your shots.

well, knucklehead does amazing work with a point and shoot camera, every bit as good as stuff i see pros do with high end equipment.

i use a dslr because i learned to do photographic work on a 35mm slr (film camera) and i'm just more comfortable with a lot of controls that i can set manually rather than using menus. there are some advantages that the dslr has over most point and shoots for telephoto shots, but for an awful lot of applications, you can get similar results with far less expensive equipment.

Here`s a little pavilion with a fireplace surrounded by a pond.

Start here

PYRAMID DSCN0044

Keep going

DSCN0199

A light will hang here.

DSCN0640

Start covering your geometry.

DSCN0585

Don`t forget the fireplace. Start it now.

DSCN0646

There will be an outdoor BBQ.

DSCN0334

Keep up the thought process.

_DSC0009

Remember the creature comforts.

DSCN6885

And the "atmosphere"

DSCN6891

You didn`t forget the BBQ did you?

DSCN6895

Stock the pond with beauties.

UP FROM THE DEEP

And flying wonders.

And do not forget a 52" flat screen TV above that hand made fireplace.

DSCN9469

I did mention the saltwater Jacuzzi overlooking the pavilion, right?

DSCN6842

Well just relax, I have more.
Enjoy.

within that collection...

Not keen on dragonflies. They tend to not get out of your way. The mere idea of dragonfly with a 6ft wingspan in pre-historic times makes me nervous.

Bumble Bees I like.

Here's some from Orkney. These circles were created 4-5000 years ago, and predate Stonehenge.

And perhaps the oldest known village - Skara Brae.

Now that's getting stoned! Well at least stone aged.

and beautiful photographs of them. I really like the feeling of softness that your photos capture - soft light plus the softness that comes with centuries of wear. Thank you.

I love the seemingly weightless stone suspended between the other two.
Great composition of an optical illusion.
