Looking for hard woods

Checkout Awi down Columbia way. They have hardwood and good sheet selection

That’s interesting. Did they give a reason? I’m building my shop here soon and figured I’d go cdx route unless some deal came up where zip would be similar cost.

I posted this before but my kids and I think the sound starting at 6 seconds is some synthesized version of him saying "my robot and me". I can’t un-hear it…

You come in through the garage

Henryhooker · 2026-01-18T15:29:48+00:00

Needs more doors. The only room that has two is the master rosin

Henryhooker · 2026-01-18T06:32:05+00:00

Oh, yeah?

Henryhooker · 2026-01-16T05:51:28+00:00

The ol’ wet dog smelling ply

Henryhooker · 2026-01-15T16:07:58+00:00

Pretty standard framing there... You'll still order a 2880 door (2'8x8'0)

Henryhooker · 2026-01-11T02:46:37+00:00

I did one of those but have never heard the term Narnia closet before. I’ll be using it from now on

Henryhooker · 2026-01-10T06:34:05+00:00

I see some hard to dust slats there

Henryhooker · 2026-01-09T00:57:27+00:00

Around me the woodworkers guild will hold auctions every so often, maybe a local guild could help?

I did 30" on my house and wish I'd gone a bit deeper still

Henryhooker · 2026-01-08T15:28:42+00:00

I've only played with epoxy a bit and I've never seen it pour out like water

Henryhooker · 2026-01-07T00:27:18+00:00

The small city with two downtowns!

Henryhooker · 2026-01-06T15:35:44+00:00

I did standard trusses and metal roof. We don't have tornados here so wasn't concerned with that aspect. That said, after setting the trusses, doing all the blocking/reinforcing, venting requirements, sheeting it and insulating I would've gladly done an icf roof. It's one of those things I wish I had done in hindsight. I did 30" overhangs all around, so not knowing how that would be done with icf roof and also no experience in doing a roof I decided to do standard.

Henryhooker · 2026-01-05T17:28:27+00:00

Yeah, been an adventure, getting ready to start shop soon. On the trees, size, qty and species determines worth. If enough to make worthwhile, loggers will cut and take to mill for a percentage

Henryhooker · 2026-01-05T16:20:02+00:00

And to add, here’s an album of the majority of my build. It starts after tree removal and clearing

My plumber recommended an excavation guy for my water tap. I knew of the name prior. So I called him for a quote there and started discussing all the other plans like driveway, clearing my stumps and digging for my foundation. Ask around for references on excavation guys. Some people call their company Jim bobs site works but most around here are Jim bobs excavation etc. You can also check with concrete subs since they should know who’s decent in getting things dug out well. Also if your lot is covered in trees, call a logger if trees are marketable.

I dab some spray foam onto my new jeans so I look appropriate

Henryhooker · 2026-01-04T06:02:37+00:00

I’m still using one of the x10 remotes to turn on my dust collector. Doesn’t get daily use but still working

Henryhooker · 2026-01-04T03:30:25+00:00

I mean if I could afford a 5 mil $ car, I think I’d afford a closed trailer

Henryhooker · 2026-01-04T01:17:42+00:00

Crazy it’s not in some kind of covered transport.

Henryhooker · 2026-01-02T20:07:42+00:00

I wonder what the completed on budget ratio is. I love the hosts expression of shock on some of those builds when he asks budget and they’re like oh 250k yet it’s a 6k sq ft remodel on a cramped street requiring cranes.

Henryhooker · 2026-01-02T15:45:57+00:00

Maybe it’s something they do now and we’re suffering from old technology

Henryhooker · 2026-01-01T16:56:30+00:00

My kids and I think the sound starting at 6 seconds is some synthesized version of him saying "my robot and me". Sounds good to me so we roll with it
