Building a Barn Extension

Barn Expansion from Douglas Van Bossuyt on Vimeo.

Over Thanksgiving break, Dmitri, my dad, and I tore down an old barn extension and put up the frame for a new, larger extension. I took a time lapse over our three work days and created the above video. Just as we put up the last roof joist, the rain swept in. Over our December break, we will be putting the roof on, putting up siding, and finishing the floor.

Working with Drew on the XL185 and Taurus

Today Drew and I did some work on his XL185 conversion project.  We had the engine turning over but it wouldn’t start and idle.  My guess is there are some electrical troubles and the engine probably needs proper intake and exhaust runners.  We also replaced the belt, pulleys, and tensioner on my Taurus plus fixed a coolant leak.  The time-lapse above shows the fun that we had today.

Nightfall at the Fraternity

Last night I tried out my new GoPro HDHero2 camera’s time-lapse functionality. It works much better than the GoPro Hero camera that I returned earlier this week.
