How do you mean painting the grain? Are you doing trompe l'oeil, faux grain? I've never seen that in person, but some of the photos I've come across are stunning stuff.

That's their "coyotes, please don't eat me" pen. They go in there at night. Otherwise, they have free reign of the yard.

And as far as what does one do with them, they're just pets. Very intelligent, very loyal, and very playful. They get along great with the dogs...

Building is moving ahead on the off-grid place up near the Grand Canyon; last weekend we made good progress on the solar equipment shed. I couldn't resist doing something a bit more entertaining with the brackets to to attach the big 2"x12" floor joists to the footings; the other three are a club, spade & diamond.

If that 2x is CCA treated you'll want to put some sort of barrier between it and the steel, or that really nice handiwork will be gone in a couple of years.  Maybe copper behind it, so you can see it through the cut out?

Thanks!!! I didn't know that - and I sure as hell want to deal with this now while the joists are still open, before the flooring & the rest of the building goes on top and I can't get at the nuts on the carriage bolts any more.  Copper sheet would look really nice, and oxidize to a good green.

Thanks again!

Use the same thinking on all the fasteners going into the PT. Hot dipped galvi or stainless. The PT is nasty. Have you gotten a splinter from it yet?
