got a text the milling is done on the basswood

That stuff will look killer in the fish house.
What finish are you thinking?

 

[tphoyt]

Agreed! That’s going to be a great look. I have never worked with basswood. Does it get a bit darker over time or hold its color pretty good?

No idea I like it for the weight. I am just going to put poly on it make it shiny

I am going to have to stick a window AC unit in the fish house to work on it, it is like a sauna in there.

OOOHHHHH! There is a great idea ... a sauna for the summer months and a fish house for the winter months! Get double the usage! Now we are cooking (literally and figuratively)!

Do you have a portable room AC unit?

No but I may need one funny I gave away 4 window units when I moved. Actually I could use a portable unit the upstairs bedrooms get warm when the house is crowded.

the room units are usually cheaper than the window units.

Picked up my lumber yesterday, it is amazing did you know that it is possible to buy lumber that is not warped and twisted, every board straight and true.

i am about done with a approx 600 sq ft deck and prob 98% was perfectly fine. What makes it more incredible it that I did a pick up so they just picked and loaded for me.

I once saw a guy coming completely unglued in a Home Depot picking through lumber. I have say there were a lot of bananas he was tossing around.

I am chomping at the bit to get started putting in the walls, unfortunately I have grass to mow, fertilizer to put down, lake weeds to net up. Might have to start working on it after dark.
