Popular Post Unclejake Posted August 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've been collecting timber from a sawmill 'up north'. Is my ute OS? I reckon it are. It's also bloody awesome. It has self canceling indicators and power steering, but everything else you need to do yourself. The objects in the mirror are precisely their own size and I need to get out of the cab to engage the free-wheeling hubs. I love that ute. Sadly the generator died last weekend (as did a number of other things). It's a real challenge trying to keep tools dry enough to use up there, but after forking out a significant portion of the cabin budget on a replacement generator I managed to finish another frame today. I've gotten a bit better at calculating tangents... but of course there are mistakes aplenty. Sorry about blurry photo. It was almost dark 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathcollector Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 What are the inside dimensions on the actual cabin UJ ? It looks roughly the same width as our Gas Station @ 1800 mm but we are only 2940 mm long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 How much fun was it getting that beam up the hill? Lookin' good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Unsurprisingly the beams were not a great deal of fun to carry. Two are are just over 6.5 metres long The cabin exterior is 4.6 x 2.4m Bathcollector. Its internal dimensions will add up to 9.8sqm... but I have an ancillary building planned for the woodshed, generator shed, toilet and shower 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 How many metres above sea level is it at? You'll be a good strong lad by the time you've finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 The cabin is 56 metres above the water. For the avoidance of doubt: I've been trimming and placing the rafters by myself, but I got help to carry them up to the work site. TBH I am getting a bit old to be lugging 40-60 kg lengths the entire way up there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubastreet Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Would you really need a crane? I'd take them up there (and round the corner) on a truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Is this cabin going to be located a stones throw from the final UJ pad? My memory sucks, so this may have been covered earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
