Better hurry with the roof. I don't think they sell plastic that large.

Also, I bet the living quarters are getting tight right about now.

Drew, you are amazing. Seems like you are a guy that goes in with both feet at everthing you do. Keep it up I am sure it will be a work of art just like Young Frankenstein.

jbclassix · 02-24-2012, 02:08 AM

Drew, looks like you atleast have quite a bit of help! Keep at it!

**oldman3** · 02-24-2012, 09:27 AM

WOW......Jim

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-24-2012, 12:07 PM

Wow! I bet that is nerve wracking and exciting at the same time! Great work Drew and keep at it!

Low Elco · 02-24-2012, 02:15 PM

Dude, you better be glad you've got the wife you do! I've done some moderate to major stuff to our houses, and mine'd have to be medically tranquilized if I did that to the house. I know you're a pro and all, but dang that looks like a lot to bite off. Bet it'll be killer when it's done. Aw, hell, you're in Memphis, just flat roof that dude, put some roll roofin' on it, and slap up some chipboard walls, and tell Mama it's goooood!

(That's what they do around here!) Gonna be great, Drew.

CharlesUFarley · 02-25-2012, 05:44 AM

I just read this entire thread in two nights. You certainly have a lot of skill, but what I'm most in awe of is your drive and level of commitment. You have accomplished a monumental task with VERY little outside help in a relatively short period of time. As someone else has already mentioned, what makes it even more amazing is that in the same short period of time, you've also managed to squeeze in all these other projects, business ventures, vacations, family and missionary work.

I don't know where you get that energy....it's unbelievable.

The truck is turning out stunning and my hat's off to you. You're in the home stretch now. I'm looking forward to seeing the finishing touches.

Thanks so much for your props, it sure is fun getting a big pat on the back.

I have to say though that you yourself have a lot of drive and commitment - You read the entire thread in 2 nights!!! Now that's unbelievable!!!

wwhijr · 02-26-2012, 02:19 PM

You wanna bring your crew down here and build me a garage. I will buy you pizza as payment. Bring me the truck too. LOL

Truck looks great. Now get the house back together before the wife strings you up.

DINS 1 · 02-27-2012, 12:39 PM

great job! I am waiting for you to get to the install the heater controls glove box and parts around the newer heat and A/C. I am trying to decide if my burb on a 04 durmax chassis is going to run the 04 heat and cool

1985-GMC · 02-27-2012, 02:26 PM

Do you have a build thread Wade?

scotts72heavyhalf · 02-29-2012, 12:06 AM

Any updates? On the house or the truck.

drewskiren · 02-29-2012, 11:43 PM

Still plowing through the house remodel, not much to report.

VA72C10 · 02-29-2012, 11:54 PM

Love the new roofline...

jbclassix · 03-01-2012, 12:03 AM

Resort?

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-01-2012, 12:11 AM

Looking good Drew! That'll be a relief to have the roof back up huh?

1985-GMC · 03-01-2012, 12:27 AM

Wow, that looks good! You are The Man!

**oldman3** · 03-01-2012, 02:31 PM

Super nice.....Jim

jb1016 · 03-01-2012, 08:59 PM

Wow, Drew...your paint and body skills have come a long way...

You are the one who put the racing stripes on that silver prelude, aren't you?

Hard Luck · 03-03-2012, 02:42 AM

Wow. House looks great. Truck looks great. What else can I say?

Is this a tail rafter detail in this picture?

67ChevyRedneck · 03-03-2012, 07:57 AM

After all the rain we got I hope you were able to get this buttoned up!

We missed it all even though they were calling for severe t-storms and hail. I have tar paper on all of it now.

drewskiren · 03-03-2012, 07:43 PM

House is all framed and all the tar paper is on! Still need to build the front porch, but I am waiting on the special order old growth Douglas Fir beams. At least the house will stay dry from here on out. Trades will start this week.

Rafter tails, pattern #M2047 from the Morgan Woodwork Company, Chicago, 1921.
