I like the glulam swap. My last project had me installing doors where there used to be windows, in balloon frame walls. It takes quite a bit of bracing and cribbing to keep that house from coming down(or cracking the horsehair plaster).

This is a coolest off topic tread ever! Just goes to show we’re not just a bunch of rock monkeys after all. Some of the engineering and craftsmanship on these posts are truly impressive.
Thanks. DT

Cragman, Damn. Good work. Impressive.
How long did that whole job take?
I noticed the soffit vents; there are a lot of them. Do they go all the way around the new addition? Are they necessary because there is an open beam ceiling and therefore no attic space? I have a little cabin and we plan to finish the upstairs attic into a bedroom, I wonder if I also need extensive venting.
Thanks in advance.
On second look I see there is not an open beam ceiling in the new room. But there is a finished upstairs space, which is similar to my plan.

I gave my family money that was earmarked for a stay in Vegas, since the hotels didn't do gift cards. I wanted to do something a little more personalized than cash, so I tucked it inside of a paper Parthenon, a paper Chinese temple, and a paper Eiffel Tower (not shown) with hotel logos on them. I actually flew across the country with them. I can't believe they survived mostly intact.
Alas, I couldn't get all the little paper columns on the Parthenon to stand up straight and even. It was one of those projects that sounded cute until I realized I was probably 20 hours in and they were looking kinda rough.

Mooch,
A quick question. At about 3:30 in the video, there are irregular somethings on top of the cockpit canopy. Are these break away joints in event of ejection?
Thanks,

I'm finally getting around to building a good lap counter for our little 4-lane HO slot car track. I had enough spare parts to build this prototype and I'm in the process of ordering more parts for the other 3 lanes. It's built around a Microchip PIC16F88 microcontroller. It uses an IR emitter @ 940nm and a matched 940nm IR photo-transistor as the switch to signal a car pass. The rest of the parts are on the schematic. If anyone wants the schematic file [.sch] which works with ExpressPCB or the really well documented assembly code [.asm] I'll be happy to send it out.

This is definately my top favorite off-topic thread of all time!
I'm not building anything these days, just interior re-painting of dinged up walls and mouldings and trim. Doesn't make for a very interesting photo!

Cool- Tomcat. Timber frames are really interesting. My dad and I built a shop with a timber frame. It was just built out of framing grade lumber. Nothing special. It was fun.
Dean- cool little remodel. I'm doing one for a friend in Bishop. Nights and weekends. I have no freetime, but somehow only managed two weeks of work over the course of a month and change.
I'm glad someone noticed the vented soffit. Try buying that stuff in Bishop. It's a special order. It's so dry here, (and people are broke) I don't see too many soffits under the eaves around here.

So I'm walking by this building site in Ushuaia and I hear this sound
that I know I've heard before but it took me a few seconds before I
realized it was the sound of a guy using a hand saw!
Now that's being a green builder!
