Thread: Hey, who is the Friday post back up guy? Hellooooooo

Tweet

I was going to work on the three projects that I've been hamering away at all summer.. but... it seems my uncle found a beam under the farm house that is giving up. I guess we can't really complain, it's been in there since 1790 sumpthin..

When folks say "they don't build'em like they used to." They have no real idea how bad things could be assembled "back then".

OOOooo.. I'd love to see a bunch of steel like that under there.. Instead I've got hand hewn half trees with the bark still on it.

When I asked my uncle how high I got to push it up to... he answered, push it back to about 1900 or so!

You remember that I am the one who doesn't do "ol skool retro" right??? I'm not even aware of any friends who'd consider such a thing!

If they'd let me I would've had the house raised and a whole new foundation put under it. But everyone always says I go to the extreme.. but they ain't under it jacking it up!

Man o Man you guys have some hard lives... Cold weather, rebuilding 200+ year old houses, tractors and bailers in ditches, etc. sounds like a hand full? Im all bum'ed out because I cant get anyone to go camping this weekend as it might rain. I have desert fever really bad.
