I need to install two large posts to support the load of the roof structure on the 2nd floor of my shop. I have two large timbers, roughly 9 3/4 square, and I need bases for them.
My great grandparent's house was built in the early 1840s. My cousin inherited it and the farm. When she and her hubby retired, moved back to the Houston family home they started to restore it. The center of the home was sagging a couple of inches, which was nothing to worry about. But, when the heating-A/C guy crawled under the house to install a central system, he came back out and said he knew why there was a sag. The center of the home was supported by a tree stump that had been cut off in place and the home built from that reference point. It is still there, with some shimming, as it lasted 160 years and when they drilled into it to check for rot it was still good so 160 years from now??? Never thought I would see you in a warm jacket and not wearing shorts.... Cold day in Hades. May your holidays be happy, your family safe, and Santa stubs his toe under your tree.
@@jtkilroy When we stopped at your shop in 2015 we thought that with the heat, especially wearing our safety gear on the Goldwing, that Mississippi never cooled down. Going thru the battlefield at slow speed was a hot thing and having to hunt for secluded trees was not fun. Casino food can jump up and bite you.
My house has been sitting on top of stacked field rocks for 190years. I agree I don't think your posts will be pulling up and if they do its likely all gone anyway. :-0
Hey Mr. Killroy. Glade to see a video! Hope all is well. Just to let you know covid is survivable. Wife and I both got it. No hospital for us. She got it from her mothers area, and brought it home to me. She is 60 I'm 61. Her mother got it spent time in hospital, but had other problems before. Is out at home now.Now the kicker her mom is 87 so covid is not what they say it is! I have been sicker with the flu and bronchitis. several times and was way sicker!!! Have a old friend (scout master) that even before I was born, has been and still is a mortician. He says is not true, the numbers do not match the funerals, or the dead bodies if you will. He said the amount of services and burials has not increased. He wants to know where all these people are they claim have died.and where are they??? P.S. I have met you twice at two bashes. So been a viewer fan long time.
@@jtkilroy just talked with some friends a couple I know had to go test because of their job! They went to the community test center. Both were not sick but test came back positive?? They were upset so went to their Dr. Got retested they paid for test came back negative??? So tell me how's that work!?
@@KG-yn9qi It works because of government control and government metteling. If they get paid more for positive cases don't you think they will find more positive ones? The hundreds of people I know that have had it all said major fatigue was the biggest symptom. I have only known one death and they were in their 80's and diabetic and overweight so who knows how long they would have gone anyway. I think that is why the total mortality rates are not a lot higher now than normal it is because a very high percentage of Covid deaths are people that likely were going to die this year anyway. Driving your car is probably still more dangerous.
15,000 people in our county, 20 covid deaths already and at least 2 were healthy and in their 20s. Last count, 2 counties around us have been almost to 40 dead. This is not a big population area. Our neighbor county in the next state has it even worse. Our far-far right wing politicians believed it could not cross over the river. Employment in this county is low so a majority of people cross over into the next state. Then there was the big labor day celebration party that really blew things up. You can be lucky but the neighbor you infect can die.
@@bigun447 sir I live in a city with 657,000 + if you run the numbers. They claim how many have died and caught it and got well. Sorry we have five large hospitals and do not know how many urgent care/ Dr. Offices. And only four cemeteries if all they say is true we would have non stop services and funerals every day! And it is not happening. Yet they claim the numbers are going up??? And we are democratic controlled. And guess what, else have some of the highest homeless, yet they are not dying??? Explain it to me??? Are you just getting numbers or is there validation to them like a true body count. Be cause they do not match here. With a city of over 657,000 + people
I;d like a video of you installing that upright timber support. I'd leave one of those notched pieces out and weld them in last. Much easier to get the beam in place.
As a welder /Fabricator/ CAD Designer, I have some very nice GATE Design(s) if your interested. All I have to do is hit the print & send button(s). Scale drawing's, not a sketch. Some people might call them VERY UPSCALE. Merry Christmas to you and family. Stay safe.

With flux core wire running dual shielded isn't it correct to reverse the polarity? I have found issues with both penetration and porosity when I failed to swap the lead inside the machine... maybe it's just the wire we use?
The "fun" of working with an older structure. Ours is nowhere near as old as yours 1970, still has its idiosyncrasies, especially insulation for northern Utah (lack thereof) and window glass. It was custom designed and built for an artist whose brother ran a very successful commercial glass company. Things like floor to ceiling tinted single plane glass optically correct glass in the living room (multiple)
Hello Jay, An interesting build… What is the pen called that you used to mark out? I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care Paul,,
A little Hilti based anecdote for your Christmas amusement. The story goes that a Hilti rep was driving late one night on a country road when he ran over a deer, on inspecting the poor creature he found it to be badly injured but alive. Wanting to ease the poor creatures suffering he thought ah ha i have my percussive nail gun in the boot of my car, that's much like a humane killer vets use and it should work. So he fires a nail in the animals head and dispatched it. Not wanting to leave it in the road for other drivers to crash into he tried to move it to the side of the road and found he had nailed the deers head to the road. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" if not hell at least amusement, well i thought it amusing. MC&HNY c and the badger clan
@@jtkilroy too early for the next crop, will have to wait for spring and hope they are as fecund as this year. From a max of 6 at one time in the summer, right now rarely more than 2 at any one time and they have become timid, but one did take food from my hand last night for the first time in weeks. Next time i manage to get a decent photo of one of them doing a "Kilroy" I'll email you.
Mr Killroy sorry for going off on a political rant etc. Know it is not the place, it is your channel. Not my soap box! For my opinions. Just trying to pass on info.
I m glad I never cut angles the wrong way in a saw....😂 Hey Look on the bright side....It least it was not wood! Happy Holidays Mr Kilroy.
Thats true! Look at the bright side.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Matt C.
Hope Santa brings you a plumb bob for Christmas, if you don't already have one.
Cheers, Gary
There is one already hanging from the roof through the second floor to the foundation.
Merry Christmas Mr. Kilroy love your videos
Nice job!!👏🏻👏🏻
Merry Christmas to You too!
Thanks Mr. Rosales

Yes that is correct. Polarity is reversed from solid wire.

Hey there. love your channel. What ever happened to the 50 ton metal press you were going to build?
Still in progress. Lots of projects on the back burner while we renovate the building though. Thanks for asking. Merry Christmas!
Jim, Are you OK? Its been a long time since you posted a video or update. Hope your doing OK.
I’m a bit late to the party. I’ll come over for a coffee in a couple weeks. L.
