The time lapse on page 7 is pretty epic as well.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!  I used to mock the fence my neighbor built but no more.  That fence is a pinnacle of craftsmanship compared to this disaster.

Oh ... my ... Gawd.

I thought I had seen some of the worst "construction possible. I was wrong.

mr ranch owner does that kind of stuff all the time, I've learned to keep my mouth shut.
He can construct a fine sentence or story though, better then I can.

Have you considered giving him a roll of duct tape? That is what's missing from the project.

Best construction advice evar!

I am both surprised and disappointed in the Canadians commenting - but for the duct tape this has Red Green written all over it.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I did better work at age 10, when I built me & my buddies a "secret hideout" out in the woods from lumber scraps we picked up.

If I tried to build a shed, mine would look like that.  This is why I avoid doing anything with lumber or remotely related to "carpentry".  Seriously, even when I try to be careful, measure twice/cut once, etc, I end up with similar results.

i've worked behind that guy....... :facepalm:
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Chris, Would you not pour a foundation first?  If you said yes, then you are light years ahead of that guy.

I might not pour a foundation, but in that case it wouldn't have a floor.  (pole barn construction)

I like the windows of various sizes.  Then trimmed out.

Growing up my two best friends were Korean.   While we were building a go-kart out scrap wood (and it's a miracle that we're still here and we have all our fingers, toes, arms and legs), they kept discussing "ud".   I had no idea what they were talking about but is was an important and most discussed topic.  The need for more and good "ud".  Finally, I couldn't take any more and asked WTF is "ud".   Paul grabbed a section of 2x4 and waved it around.  "You know, ud.  We need good ud."  The light bulb went off.  WOOD.  There isn't a "W" sound in Korean, so "wood" became "ud".  Clearing that up did not make the design nor construction any better or safer.

The sad part is that the 2nd time lapse video does not catch the incessant and constant arguing in Korean that would have been going on during the construction.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Pour or try to build an elevated floor with footers, but I don't expect anything short of a fiasco.
