Really Hot outside, Ordering the joist hangers, and buying the pegs and straps for raising.


Got New straps for raising!




New Pegs or wood nails. Probably gonna need more. I'm soaking these in a mixture of linseed oil and turpentinde. These are 8 sided and 12" long. I didn't count but should be approx. 80 per bucket. 




Pegs oiled and ready. Since these pegs appear to be dried when they arrived, I believed it was a good idea to oil them so they wouldn't draw moisture from the timber surrounding the pegs. Probably make them go in a little easier also. I Hope.
