Smoky Mountain Outpost

We have a solution for our Water Problem, Bug Problem and the Roof on the Workshop. The intake hose on the water pump cracked over the winter so it needs repaired. Co-op recommended Bifen to treat many different types of bugs and we make a DIY wooden wrench to maneuver rafters while roofing the last section of the Workshop.

We have been working on Felling, Logging and Milling Roofing material for the Workshop. The last and largest stage of the build will take a lot of board feet to cover the roof, siding and flooring.

The Workshop Timber Framing is now Complete. It's going to be milling time again for sheathing after logging two Monster Trees we fell and should provide enough material to finish the workshop.

We are Building a 26 FT. Roofing Beam for the front Sawmill section of the Workshop. The Beam is self supporting with bracing for extra measure. Hopefully it holds the weight of sheathing when it goes on. This is done so we can load logs from the front. Joe Maine Saw Blades: 229-563-1172

We have managed to Finish and Set the Corner Post for the Workshop and got halfway on the upper Rafters. My son was a lot of help and always saves the day at the last minute.

We are making a Pear Tree Corner Post planted when I was a kid. We also have finished the Roof Rafters for the final stage of the workshop.

We are Finishing the Timber Framework for the Workshop. Building a workshop is hard work, but if you don't mind the labor, you can frame the perfect shop for years to come. There are a few costs for hardware, paint, metal for the roof etc... but very minimal. We are finally getting close to the end of this project and are excited.

Building a Workshop is hard work, but if you don't mind the labor, its Free and worth $100,000 when finished, wouldn't you do it? There are a few costs for hardware, paint, metal for the roof etc... but very minimal. We are finally getting close to the end of this project and are excited.

Building your own $100,000 Timber Frame Workshop from Damaged Trees is a Crazy idea for one person, but only a Hillbilly would try it. With most of the material for the rear section of the workshop completed, we finish off the work and put it all together.

The Smoky Mountains is a great setting for a Scandinavian Style Timber Frame Workshop. We are building the last section before moving the sawmill to its new location.

This video shows Basic Skills to Create Your Own Workshop. DIY projects are always fun and you save money in the end. There are a few tools needed that are shown and you're on your way to crafting your own dream.

Building your own DIY Workshop isn't that difficult. Ours is on a Mountainside which makes it a little more challenging. If you can measure, cut, drill and chisel you can do this too. Having the additional work area will be nice and a lot of building tools will be here.

With harvested Timber, a few Hand-tools and our sawmill we are getting closer to the end of the New Workshop. Despite bad weather we managed to complete a new bent for the next part of the build. We still need two bottom beams, a rafter beam and ridge beam to be complete.

Living and Building for a Year in the Mountains can change anyones idea of peace, solitude and contentment if they try. You can also accomplish a great deal if you put your mind to it. The following is a video of our accomplishments in 2023.

We are building the next section for the Timber Frame Workshop. The Post and Beams take longer to prepare then material for conventional framing. We are at the last & final section of the build which will have the sawmill and lumber storage area. Everything from the Raw material to the final product is our means of building.

We are Getting Ready To Fell Three 100' ft Plus Trees that pose a danger to the Workshop. These three trees should be enough lumber to finish all that needs done to complete the Workshop build.

WHATS IN STORE FOR 2024. There are many things planned for this upcoming year on the homestead. Finishing the Workshop, then building a root cellar and basecamp are the next large projects planned.

We have been busy repurposing and redesigning our natural resource for the Timber Frame Workshop. We are at the last & final section of the build which will have the sawmill and lumber storage area. Everything from the Raw material to the final product is our means of building.

Working on finishing the siding to the Timber Frame Workshop Area. From the Raw material to the final product is our means of building. The next series will be on the final section where we will move the sawmill.

Will The Siding Get Done In Time? We don't think so because we still have to mill more logs. However, the Workshop Is looking much better. The siding gives the Timber Frame definition in appearance.

Will these Old Windows work in the Timber Frame Workshop? Jennifer is going to make sure they do. The siding continues but we have to take time to mill more Yellow Pine for the Workshop Siding & Framing. It takes time to prepare raw material from the source to its purpose in Building. It is inexpensive to make if you have a sawmill.

We are continuing the framing for siding & adding more windows to the Timber Frame Workshop. It takes time to prepare raw material from the source to its purpose in Building. It is inexpensive to make if you have a sawmill.

I am taking a break from framing the Workshop and crafting a rugged fence from our recycled wood. Campfire Beef Stew is always a good choice when you're hungry. Join us on our homestead journey here on the main channel.

Life is definitely too short. My cousin who donated the Outpost his 2007 Nissan King Cab 4 cylinder Truck has passed away. We hope to get another video next week but time will tell how much we can work on the homestead. Join us on our homestead journey here on the main channel.
