Travis's Mik's Build Challenge 2014

I have decided upon building a Well/Pump house for my windmill that I had started almost 2 yrs ago and never completed. I have the tower built and started the fan. So now I need to construct a building to go along with this. This structure will go along with my water tower I built two yrs ago. So let the fun begin… Travis

This should be a very interesting build. Good luck with it, Travis!

I look forward to seeing your build. It’s something I need to add to my windmill.

Thanks Fellas…

 

Well I cant figure out how to have the photos show up here. So here is the links from photobucket… I am building a windmill pump house… I am use pieces of scrap lamanent flooring 10 mm thick for the four walls,1/4 in. plywood for the roof and odds and end scrap pieces for the window and the door from Dave Taylor’s door manufacturing facilities. At the peak of the roof I cut a dowel rod on the table saw to cap it off, not sure if it will be shingles or tin roof yet. The windmill tower I had built around a year and a half ago and never finished so i decided to build this to go along with my water tower.

This pic shows My first attempt at the building frame of 1/4 birch plywood. It was not to my liking, hence the new frame sitting on the right side of it.
