Rebuilding my shack

[MarkV]

The “shack” is looking great. I like the raft comment if a bigger storm makes it up your way. With a few 55 gal drums strapped to the side you could call it your Katrina house boat.

I'd say it would take a lot to move those beams. Also very good progress for just a few days. I wish my projects could go that fast.

It has been a long, HOT and busy day but I finally got to see what my cypress boards will look like on the front of my shack. I was glad to see that the old paint is very easily removed with my cheap Karcher pressure washer with the high pressure rotating tip. See the photo of how the board looked before and then how it looked after I used the pressure washer on it for just 15 seconds. It looks like it might just look pretty decent after all.

I got the rest of the siding on the front today. I like the antique look it has.

I think the shack looks great with the cypress siding and metal roof! You've done a great restoration job! Love the pics!

The siding looks great!!! I really like it allot.

The only thing that I keep thinking is how nice a big covered porch would be for relaxing, or just coming and going on a rainy day. Your roof is alreay in place, so I'm curious if your putting on a porch?

The porch is what I am building. The building is only there to hold up the porch. PORCH: "Coming Soon"

Guttering will top it off, to control the water that will leave a drip path on the ground (pet peave of mine).

That looks great. Thank you for sharing the project here. I have enjoyed.

I finally finished the walls on the other sides. Unfortunantly I didn't have enough old cypress boards to do the sides but I tried to make it look old to match the other buildings. Yes, I know that the siding usually comes all the way down to cover the beams, but my wife talked me into leaving the beams showing for that "rustic" look. I coated them with a creosote type stain to even out their looks.

NEXT: The Porch!!!
