Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Pretty that way now even.....lot of places "Closed For the Season".....we drove all the way out to Cape Race, the place where the world received the SOS from Titanic after hitting the iceburg. They are massively rebuilding the 25 mile dirt road out to the cape.......we made it out there about 3:00 pm and saw not one single other human. The eastern most point in North America....was awesome to be able to go there....the lighthouse was spectacular!! Still using the original hyper-radial (larger than 1st order) Fresnel lense ...installed in 1907...emits a million and a half candle power using a 400 watt bulb.....in clear weather can be seen for 50 miles...these were the most powerful lenses ever made....52" in diameter and 12' tall overall.....it rotates every 30 seconds floating on a flowing bed of mercury.....operates 24 hrs a day.....tried to get the wild sparkles coming from the hundred of prisms but was not very successful. Again not a soul around.....

Cant get on other site...so here you go...

Took way too long but warped lumber is tough to work with. Happy with it though. Now for some walls.

Ol Biscuit would be proud... not a wheel barrow worth of scraps and I wrote off not one bit of the free lumber. At this point to get the deck built I am into it less than $80 US.

The 6' pony clamp and I were one today. Takes a bit to persuade warped lumber.... we got it though.

I also was told by a couple of people to put blocking in...glad I did. That has to be the most solid wooden floor I have felt in awhile.

Ohh yeah... 22 - 3/8 bolts installed in the skids. They are pulled up nice and tight.

Smoking over the ramp at this point. Want it solid.

Fill it in.

Fill it in.

Thinking 4x4-8 @ 12" OC with 2x6 decking. Possibly 4x4s 8" OC. I'd do solid 4x4s as I have them but they would be slick.

And slicker as they got older.
Or paint it with Bedliner with a lot of sand.

Cheep easy way to deal with that is......asphalt shingles or strips of rolled roofing nailed down tightly where you need traction. Used frequently on slipway ramps for when the tide is out and get very steep in my area.

LOL I know me either......I'll throw this one in too.....if you blow the pic up on your 'puter you might see it....there was a large backhoe working next to the spool but drove behind it and stopped....I want it in the pic for perspective......the loader arms are just sticking out on the left side and it was a really large 4wd hoe....not little!!! Another perspective is the telephone pole in the foreground......and it's not a wimpy, short pole either......AND we're looking down on it from a high hillside too!!
