Got any pyramids to build?

Hi guysA little off topic, but just sharing my day, I have removed the entire North wall of the big Barn, excavated the foundation, such that it is, scarfed in a new bottom section of the mid post, and now am angling in a limestone slab to support the post.Right now the barn is supported on a 20 ton hydraulic jack. No hernias yet.It will be good to get the barn restored and straight.The board and batten rough sawn pine should be soon ready to pick up at the saw mill. My tackle is a test, to lift up 30 6"x6"×20' pine beams, high into the upper section of the barn, for work on the roof.This barn was built sometime in the 1850'sI have lots of need for off grid energy.I am toying around putting in a concrete floor with heating tubes inthis barn as well.Even if it can keep it above freezing, it will be a bonus in terms of comfort.With the new roof, why not thermal solar panels?Now if I can only figure out how to best exploit a very solid concrete silo 36 feet high, and about 20 feet in diameter?Cheers Warren

Warren,  

 Your a maniac for sure.  I like how that beam is balanced on what appears to be a semi oblong small rock.
 

 I hope you are still fast with reflexes in case something decides not to stay where you put it, though unlikely with the bowline knots.  I tried to jump backwards once out of the way of a falling motorcycle, found out I had stupidly crowded myself against the garage door with no place to move.
 

 Where do you find people to help you there in that new neighborhood?

MickMy wife put in a help wanted request at the local civic message board about general labour for the summer, to give me a hand.
There was only one respondant, a young person with lots of tatoos, who doesn't drive, (although, it is at least a ten minute drive into town). He is always on time, has a pleasant personality, and works really hard.That little oblong object holding up the weight of the post is a twenty ton hydraulic jack. All that tackle is to force the post straight as the wall had splayed out, and twisted because the roof was hogged. Some past owner had cut out the hand hewn cross ties up in the heavens. I bought a load of 20' long 6"x6"x20' long lodge pole pine pressure treated beams, and 8"x8"x20' posts, available at a good price, even though it is hard to find good logs that length around here, at local saw mills.( the best stuff was always exported to the States, before the Trump soft wood trade chaos)I am using the Caterpillar excavator as an anchor point in my rigging efforts, so it was not available for hoisting around rocks to put under the post.It puts the pulley haully sailor skills to work. If you have enough pulleys and line, you can lift anything by hand.I managed to put several beams up to the loft myself, safely, even being a bag of broken bones after that horse accident a few years ago.My wife insisted that I get an extra hand.An extra person gets things done quicker.It really gives you a down to earth sense of the meaning of horse power, and the power speed relationship.To get the sky hooks way up to the peak of the roof three and a half stories up, well beyond the length of my new Canadian tire extension ladder, that poops out at 28 feet, I used my special effects air cannon to fire a plastic pipe cap with a fish line over a old hay rail up there, bringing up a proper braided polyester line.It is good to have a young person around to show the ropes to.He had never seen a signal cannon before( even though it was home made)Anyway, I need to get all these barns shaped up, with good roofs, able to hold solar collectors, and have heated floors, without burning petro chemicals, and fossil fuels.It is such a luxury to have space to work after all those years in the city. Every little job had have city inspection, delays, plans submitted, work permits, variances signed off by neighbours, engineers, and so on.Give me Earth, rocks, timber and string, any old day.Cheers Warren

Warren,
  
 What a brave and strong little jack.
  
 Too bad some moron stole the ceiling timbers. We have many of those barns around here made from hardwood over 150 years ago.  Many are built without nails and the ricketiest looking ones never seem to fall from the large snows.  It is sad that for the want of a cheap tin roof people let these beautiful old buildings rot.
  
 I have seen a few which have been restored and built into giant rambling mansions that are awesome inside.  Much less onerous with the required permits and such.
  
 The old non-dimensioned timber, specially the hardwood is far superior to the green crap pine they build with now.
  
 With the softwood debacle that means the choice pieces may be available to the people at the source, perhaps you should take advantage before they get the bright idea to ship it all to China.
  
 There is much to be said for rural life and space, cities are fun to visit but no place I could be happy.  The city-state is the ultimate control factor to turn Human Beings into persons.  Once one can no longer grow food or provide for the other sustenance’s such as heat from firewood and must rely on factory farms and petroleum pigs one gives up ones individuality as a free being in exchange for access to goods and services.  Unfortunately, what Hector claims is true, the people who have knowledge of building things to serve a modern civilization are getting old and rarer.  If anything catastrophic happens there will be the few and the whoreds. 
 

 No with the Internet and the tireless men and women of UPS we can get things delivery just as well as living in a city.  Missing of course are the vast surplus and recycling centers with stacks of electronics on shelves I liked to visit.
  
 Odd a young man who does not drive.  If he is a hard worker that is great, sad commentary only one person answered the inquiry.  I hope you can teach this young man some things he can pass on as ideas are the ultimate over unity currency with a built-in multiplication factor, as long as there are willing recipients.  The Human recipients have become scarce in direct relation and inverse proportion to the hordes of parasitic persons.  If one looks at the worldwide IQ stats it is a sad reflection on the fact we are in the 22nd century and education has become an afterthought as what is IQ other than providing a platform for some young being to self-learn.  There are actually giant hordes of very slow people about who are easy to manipulate as the ascent of man has been hindered by the few who prefer human resources to human beings.  If everyone is an idiot then no morons left behind.  Though I am told, until androids come on line we still need people to work at walmart.

 It really gives you a down to earth sense of the meaning of horse power, and the power speed relationship.
 To get the sky hooks way up to the peak of the roof three and a half stories up, well beyond the length of my new Canadian tire extension ladder, that poops out at 28 feet, I used my special effects air cannon to fire a plastic pipe cap with a fish line over a old hay rail up there, bringing up a proper braided polyester line.
 It is good to have a young person around to show the ropes to.
 He had never seen a signal cannon before( even though it was home made)
 Anyway, I need to get all these barns shaped up, with good roofs, able to hold solar collectors, and have heated floors, without burning petro chemicals, and fossil fuels.
 It is such a luxury to have space to work after all those years in the city. Every little job had have city inspection, delays, plans submitted, work permits, variances signed off by neighbours, engineers, and so on.
 Give me Earth, rocks, timber and string, any old day.

HiMaybe you will need to rent a Extend-a boom fork-lift, as you are replacing the termite beams. Protect them from termites!
or make a twin Tripod with a main beam running length of working area?_________

If you have lots of firewood would a steam driven generator work? You could use the floor piping to condense thesteam temp back down, to under 180 F and piston pump it back into boiler. That could be a small 12 volt motor-triplex pump,with small pistons for great pressures.
I'm thinking about this also..

Hi guysA little off topic, but just sharing my day, I have removed the entire North wall of the big Barn, excavated the foundation, such that it is, scarfed in a new bottom section of the mid post, and now am angling in a limestone slab to support the post.Right now the barn is supported on a 20 ton hydraulic jack. No hernias yet.It will be good to get the barn restored and straight.The board and batten rough sawn pine should be soon ready to pick up at the saw mill. My tackle is a test, to lift up 30 6"x6"×20' pine beams, high into the upper section of the barn, for work on the roof.This barn was built sometime in the 1850'sI have lots of need for off grid energy.I am toying around putting in a concrete floor with heating tubes inthis barn as well.Even if it can keep it above freezing, it will be a bonus in terms of comfort.With the new roof, why not thermal solar panels?Now if I can only figure out how to best exploit a very solid concrete silo 36 feet high, and about 20 feet in diameter?Cheers Warren
