I'm glad someone else is building in this cold weather. I am building a 20x20 storage building. I have the walls up. I am waiting for the wind to die down to put up the roof trusses. I am working alone so I have to use due care. Good luck with your build. It is starting to take shape and looking good. It is always good to see progress on the project.

I know what you mean about building by yourself. I have had help from dad a couple of buddies. But I have put in quit a bite of alone time already. Keep us updated on your build also.

Looks cold!!! 
I like to use that left over concrete for erosion areas. It usually breaks up pretty easily and once it's dumped in a ravine, it holds back all the dirt from washing away when it rains.

Yea Eddie it was when I took those pictures Wednesday evening. The front had already came through. We poured Monday at about 65 degrees. Tuesday it was in the 60's till lunch then dropped.
That's what I plan to do with the concrete. Just have to get it busted up. Started last night. It's not being too hard yet. Just takes time.

Thanks. Had a change in plans on building. Bought the 2x12's for the floor joist for second floor. They will be yellow pine. Stronger than Popular. And time getting that many Popular logs cut and sawed. Floor joist are on trailer and waiting for time and weather to cooperate.

Had a break in weather and found time to get started on this again. Have the 2x12 ledgers up around the outside. All notched in.
Some corner bracing in to keep the top somewhat square. And started to place the joist hangers. Although not particularly happy with the way they are turning out. Couldn't get them even and the little tabs that I thought were to hold it in place till you could get a nail out of your apron don't hold. Was trying to use a small block to set the size and position.
Was hoping Eddie was still around. What am I doing wrong? Would I be better off nailing the joist up from the outside then going back and installing the hangers?
