A camp pod. Can't wait to see it started. Looking forward to all the details. I have the plans and would like to follow along.

Welcome aboard. Keep us posted.

Working on getting photo's...or at least drawings posted...Planned on being much farther along on the pod...decided to re-roof my house...found from 4 to 8" of volcanic ash between the roof and ceiling...from mt st helen's..what a Freakin mess...A month later im finished...now winter's settin in...no shop to work in..My planning goes on...Down to the type of screws,Glue,Skin,Finishing trim,...& did i find the right web site! Ya darn right...A wealth of info..Thanks to all...And if that mountain blows again...The pod better be finished...Vacation Time... :

4 to 8" of ash? How the heck did that happen? Did they have the roof off when she blew the last time?

Yea, I hear rumblings that she wants to blow again... I'd get cracking on that Pod... turn it into a Weekender project!

The roof was in bad repair,some complete holes in the roof...the house was vacant..some complete holes in the back side..exposed rafters...I had patched it,tell a last winter wind storm made spaghetti out of my 3 tab,& rolled roofing patch job..+ other damage...had patched it again...then last minute thoughts... :idea: Tore the roof off...Most likely it had something to do w/a new lady freind in my life...Well i can't expect her to be mopping up water all winter now can I Besides when it rained we had to get the pram out of the shed...She doesn't like rowing...Take care..
