The old girl is just about done, providing the HO doesn't add anything more.

Wow, I wish I could do stuff like that. Bravo Zulu.

Thanks Bob, ya know when I was in Va. about 20yrs ago I had a summer job landscaping. I've never had so many bee stings in my life, those damn ground bee's would swarm me when I mowed.

My hats off to you!

Looks nice Paulie good choise on the vertical siding

Nice job, man!

3-tab shingles ruin that job, dimensional would have looked 100 times better.

CScalf · 07-21-2009, 10:45 PM

Looks very nice, but I agree with cole, a dimensional would have looked better but very nice indeed!

shanekw1 · 07-21-2009, 11:11 PM

Nice work!

**joasis** · 07-21-2009, 11:14 PM

Looks great. I am guessing that was a turn of the century milk barn? Or stable?

Ya know it's a great siding saw but what a bear to lift.

6 to 8 panels at a time and square clean cuts, no kick back.

This was the first job I used it on. I justified keeping dads old radial arm saw to my wife saying I need it for siding jobs. She called me on it this time and I set it up and used it. Other than the weight I like it better than a store bought siding saw and table.

I should mention a little surprise when I went through dad's old sears and roebuck radial saw, look what I found that I've had in the chest stand for untold years, I think from the war.

The three tab shingles suck dumpster juice. I agree it ruins the look but HO said it doesn't leak so they stayed.

1940's milk barn, you are correct sir.

I'll bring my camera today and take a pic of the LVL beam the engineer made me hang in the middle, what a monster.

**genecarp** · 07-22-2009, 07:05 AM

Love to see them saved, nice job. G

As promised I snapped a pic of the beam the engineer and the city came up with, doubled 1 3/4" x 18" x 24' LVL's. I still don't believe ya need that much but what do I know.
