Built my home (‘Hut<\/i>‘) in 2009, with the help of a construction friend<\/i>, and since costs were a concern back then I went wid T1-11 Plywood Siding. Construction jobs in America had disappeared after Obama became president, so I basically had to sell my bigger home ‘n property to pay off credit cards ‘n my truck, and move to Social Security earlier than planned.<\/p>\n

New property ‘n home would be paid for in cash, since debt was no longer an option whilst on Social Security. Downsized my living space to 320 sq feet, but had a 600 sq foot roof area, and used the remaining 280 sq feet to park my boat or<\/u><\/strong><\/em> truck:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the years I built two Pole barns ‘n added extension roof-overs on two sheds:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the Pole barns added, I no longer needed the small carport\/boatport<\/em>, and am now making my main workshop in it. Workshop was in the bigger Pole barn 1 along wid the truck parking area, but I wanted it closer whilst starting this new ‘Hut<\/em>‘ exterior maintenance project. The new table saw is in Pole barn 1 workshop area, but most everything else has been moved to the new main workshop area (old carport<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Yes, I needed new tools for this project, since I was tired of using a circular saw for all my carpentry work.<\/p>\n
