Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop

[Canuck]

More photos of the tear out and completion of the back wall.



Framing started for the new rear door. We centered the door in the new back wall to allow for better Hoist and tool box location in the shop as well as even access to the back lot.



With the new wall assembled on the ground it was time for "tilt up". The uneven proportions of the 60 year old upper beam caused some challenges in getting the wall securely on place. Having spent much of the Saturday evening using sledge hammers top and bottom to no avail, it was time to get out the heavy metal.
Using a 7000 LB Yukon XL as an anchor point, a 30 foot cargo strap and a ratchet come a long, the wall was eased into place and Lloyd emptied an air nailer magazine (500 nails) to secure the wall forever.



a shot from the back of the lot. realizing we had a drainage problem, we opted to install all pressure treated plywood along the bottom row of the back wall. More on drainage later.
