Vintage Chainsaw Museum

[heimannm]

I looked at my 44 documentation, and have forgotten what I saw...

Some progress this week, dormers are framed, sheathing on the roof continues. The plan is to finish sheathing the roof, completing the shingles (steel slabs) and installing windows next week.





A taste of the attic space.

Does Dike have a bowling alley? If not, you could put a lane in the attic. Looks great. Ron

Looks long enough.

It might end up being the heaviest building in town once you get it stocked.

I'm glad Mark is of small stature because I would be hitting my head on a roof rafter at every turn. How about a vintage Wild Thing for the museum?

? You talking about visiting?

I was going to get a clean looking Wild Thing from the recent auction but it had no compression and still went for $50. I will have a Wild Thing and hopefully a Tim Allen model to compliment the Counter Vibe saws I will have on display. I also have a 306 I think?

From the floor of the attic to the horizontal member on the trusses will end up being 6'4" after drywall. Sometimes there is an advantage to being slightly below average...

Got a pic of the 306. I can confirm.

 

[heimannm]

I was going from memory, the photos would seem to confirm it is a 306A.

Work continues, dormers are sheathed, getting the barrier down on the roof area in preparation for shingles, and the parapet in front is mostly complete. I have asked the contractor to box in the corners to the ground to try and eliminate the edges jutting out.



I noticed the other day there were several (turns out to be 5) roof trusses behind the contractors shop, seems the vendor miscalculated and made too many. After discussing with the contractor, he mentioned the possibility of extending the roof on the shop end to form a sort of car port or covered parking. We have just enough clearance to the power lines over head and we are still more than 10' from the center line of the alley so it is a go. This will work out nicely as I wanted to put an opening in the ceiling so I can run a hoist down to bring heavy items up to the attic storage. Now we can put that opening in the covered parking area and won't have to put a hole in the insulated ceiling anywhere.

Adding the foundations for the post that will support the far end of the extended roof.

Great. Nice how things come together like that. Ron

I have always liked a carport in front of a shop. It's great for loading/unloading stuff in bad weather.

Or a dry place to cut logs in a demonstration sawbuck!

Or even just set up a small table and a couple chairs and sit in the shade. It's a great addition to this fine building.

One crew started on the Decra shingles this week. Too bad they didn't get finished before it started raining.



Decra shingles on sight, framing for the roof extension underway on the far end.





The city guy was a bit concerned about the distance from the top of the roof to the 7,200 volt line overhead so he put a sheath on until he can move it over some.



The roof extension is mostly complete but I wasn't going to stand out in the rain to take photos. Some of the crew were on site working under cover today getting started on framing the interior walls.

The roof is now weather tight, most of the windows are in, and they have a good start on the steel siding on the wall adjacent to the old building on the south.





Windows in front, they didn't have the door installed yet but it will be recessed in that opening.

Very nice! Hope the weather holds for you. Ron

I have some cute saw's...
The Solo is new, never cut any wood.
The 08S is the great condition. Just check the pictures...
