Chicken Mansion

Andrew did most of the work on this project, and he took all the pictures. That's why he's not in any of them.

I'm cutting pieces for the trusses in this picture, but you can't see the miter saw

Andrew constructed a jig for quality control (no wavy roofs for us)

 We have truss issues (get it? get it?)

paint, paint, paint

Buddy says "what are you doing up there?"

Cupola Roof

Almost done

Hopefully my next post will show you a picture of a chicken house with hardware close, door and chickens...

Employed Engineer

For the longest time, my "about me" description has described me as an "unemployed engineer."Actually, it still says that, but it's not true anymore. I got a job...and it's in my field!
I got the job back in March, so I might have told you all about it in person. If you haven't heard from me, well... the job might be why. I work at a company called Arcadis. It's a consulting firm. My office in in downtown Portland in one of the big tall building with pretty views. It's pretty great.
