The Derrick Hand

"The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. It is one of the oldest structures on the face of the earth and arguably the best built. Its mortar joints are consistently 1/50 of an inch, which is incredible craftsmanship, considering that of the over two million stones that make up the Pyramid, there is no stone weighing less than a ton, most weighing about two and a half, and some as much as 20 tons." (The Great Pyramid, The American Institute of Pyramidology)

The ole fat boy launched his latest construction missile this week by erecting the framework for the ranch outdoor kitchen: The Chuck Wagon!

Weather treated lumber done been bought, hardware acquired, (all at a dear price in this economy?) and country simple plans carefully laid.

Gonna shelter the premier "smoker", "griller", and "cook" under a reclaimed tin roof from now on.

Now let's see if an old former East Texas oil field derrick hand can climb that ladder (think rafters) enuff times to make it happen???
