I build myself

[OsteInmar]

I'm an old man, but I built myself a log house myself.
Now, I'm building "some structure" on my land.
Can you determine what it will be?

Pergola? That's my best guess.

Way to hump it, btw. Not a bad couple of days work for an old timer. Respectfully.

Looks like a mega deck to me.

A fort so your friends will have a place to play?

Garage

That looks like old wood, too. It's clever how you pieced the posts together like that for the top beams to sit in a notch there in between them.

Those are not logs but rather milled lumber and looks pressure treated.

What I want to know is did you dig actual footings or just lay those concrete block on the ground

Guys, thanks!
You have almost guessed right.
This structure will be Garage + Shed + Loft

This is not an "old tree", but a board that is covered with oil.

It looks as if that has been taken down from somewhere else and rebuild there

A garage/shed/loft... hmmm... will be interesting to see how it turns out. Keep posting pics.

I've done plenty construction, carpentry myself so I'm interested. But frankly, from the framing you have there, I don't see your plan. No offense, just interested to see where this goes, not to mention your pick says MEMEIT in the upper left corner, like it's a pic of something you just found on the internet.

Are you bull shittin' us?

Is there a term to describe how these posts have been joined? I've got to build a carport and am intrigued by this technique.

Good stuff.

 

[OsteInmar]

By the way, my house is made of logs ..
Excuse me, I will show only the side that is ready.
I do all these work myself.

It looks like it's simply a 4x6 sandwiched between to longer 2x6 boards and the joist is set between then then lagged in

He made a lap joint by using a shorter center piece of wood to create the notch. Dunno what the technical term is, because he didn't technicaly cut a lap joint there. Though, he created one.

Is this enough for a start, an American carpenter?

I didn't say I was a carpenter. I said I've done carpentry. My older sister was married to a guy that owned a lumber yard and construction company. I worked for them for awhile, and later I worked for a different carpenter too. But I'm a retired Master Harley Davidson Tech.

So this new pic... it's to show what?

Wrong.
- This is 6x6 meters
- foundation of concrete blocks, which are installed on a clay pillow
- the roof is the Russian construction of the "SLEGA " I'll tell you what it is.

You are not a carpenter and you can not understand the corner joints of the wooden structures that I showed you.
Do you dare to criticize me?
You do not have anything, so stop talking.
