Router Router Router....

In the never ending journey of productivity and creativity Kevin and the house are well entrenched in the building process…..

Early last morning before going to help a friend drywall and mud his garage ceiling, Kevin was out in the carport busy routing siding boards. He is using a raised door panel blade. 

The first round of boards is ready to be placed, and then the house wrap will go on.  The final siding layer has already been milled and awaiting the routing process.

As is our belief in re-purposing, the boards came from pine logs left to us by Ray Pounds Tree Service, a local company.

When all else fails, add an extra Axel!

Always on the lookout for fallen logs to mill for lumber for the house Kevin found several down the road from us.  (Recently cut down by our local Asplundh crew on a mission to keep the power lines clear)

Between the back hoe, chain saw and a obviously too small homemade trailer, Kevin got as far as loading.

As we began the trek home with me as a precaution following him with my hazard lights on the left trailer tire hissed and blew.  So home we went to get an axel we’d acquired from the mobile home we scraped out earlier this month.

After lifting the trailer with the backhoe we positioned the new axel and Kevin chained it all together.

These logs are expected to go into rafters, floor joists, sub floor boards and roof sheathing.
