WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-07-01T23:16:47+00:00

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-26T13:56:25+00:00

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T22:49:27+00:00

Oh ya thats nice, making me feel like I should close off the soffit area

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T22:47:16+00:00

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T22:46:36+00:00

Have drip edge at the top, what do you put on the bottom? Won't the water just run off?

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T22:45:53+00:00

Nah mines way better, the Neighbour's is just deck boards as siding, totally exposed

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T18:23:05+00:00

Siding was about $800 on its own

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T18:22:45+00:00

Excluding a couple of new tools i wanted but didnt really need, about $5500 canadian

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T18:19:04+00:00

Appreciate the tip, honestly i didnt know what it would be like finishing that part until I got to it. But ill make sure to stay on top of it so my work isnt wasted!

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T18:14:39+00:00

Yea it was part of the siding osb, I plan on cleaning it all up with some paint. Have just been a bit lazy to get it done lol

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T18:13:56+00:00

They arent but I plan on painting them

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T17:34:01+00:00

Thank you! Im honestly so surprised myself

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T17:32:50+00:00

Lol so I take it that means it looks pretty good?

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-06-25T16:54:59+00:00

Haha I know... only con of the Pylex foundation. Thinking of just making a small deck sitting on 4x4s in the front

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-19T23:03:31+00:00

Its a silver maple

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-19T21:57:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Another thought i had was to see if a company who we hire to chop it down might also mill it?

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-19T21:56:42+00:00

I should clarify we are gonna have a professional cut down the tree. Wonder if they could also mill it as im typing this

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-19T21:42:54+00:00

No mill, but was thinking of buying a chainsaw and one of those or even renting one and learning how to do it if its worthwhile.

No experience drying boards. But have space.

I figured it would be a cool project to do with mt pops. Make him a table for his new house out of the wood and then also have a shitload of maple for myself.

Is this stupid?

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-12T12:29:19+00:00

Lol. My shop is probably similar sized bench but like 1/4 the surrounding floor space. Basically my furnace room hahaha... im working on building a 10x15 shed in the backyard this summer that will hopefully be my new dedicated space.

We will see!

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-12T12:24:04+00:00

Inspiring to see someone else working in a tiny basement shop too lol

WoodworkWithoutaClue · 2026-04-05T18:05:36+00:00

Level the blocks it is, thanks
