I (and Molly for most of it) spent the past couple weeks in Oregon where I was helping Tom Bonamici on a timber frame he’d been commissioned to build. Truly, one of my absolute greatest pleasures in life is helping friends with their projects and I’m grateful I’m able to do it as often as I do. This one was especially enjoyable because Tom’s so lovely, the project was fun, and the location coul...

Pig butchering and potluck
Переглядів 2,7 тис.7 років тому
Been putting these on in SF from time to time. We buy a pig from a local farm. Break it down into cuts and each person gets about 10-15 lbs. Then we have a meal at the end with some of the better cuts. Takes about 3 hours to turn the pig into packaged meat.

    Beautiful project! Is there any reason why you didn't use ground screws instead of concrete for the foundations? Can't help but think this could have saved a ton of labour, money and ecological impact.

    "Affordable" You had about £20,000 worth of tools to begin with. I have hammers, spanners, a handsaw and few other bits. I think it can still be done with a basic tool setup no?

    • @jeffreywaldman
      @jeffreywaldman 2 місяці тому

      It's $4k in tools. But I hear your point. I also had the car to get there. and the land too build on. and the food to eat in the years leading up to it. and the $300k that has kept me alive since birth. Where would you like to draw the line? What privileges of yours would you like to include or not include in the list of ALL things that make projects possible and/or easier? Just curious. You need a hand saw, a hammer, a level, and a drill. A circular saw and speed square would help speed things up. In the plans I cover essential tools and more recommended ones. A bevel gauge would help with figuring out some of the rafter angles. And some tin snips would be very useful to make your metal roof trim pretty.

    @jeff what's the snow load on this thing?

    • @jeffreywaldman
      @jeffreywaldman 3 місяці тому

      As designed this cabin is good for 140mph wind load and 30psf snow load. To meet larger snow load requirements you'd just need to size up the rafters. The current rafters are a 2x6 super structure that just rests atop the building, so sizing it up is pretty trivial... they can be any size you want without changing any of the rest of the plans. 2x8, 2x10, 2x12, etc. Insulation goes in between them, so sizing up also allows for more roof insulation. You're welcome to download the plans and run them by your county, or a local builder, or a local engineer, or whatever. Feel it out. If you find they won't work for your project I'll get you a refund, no problem. Hope that helps.
