Okay it has been on the drawing boards long enough. Designed and redesigned and again redesigned. Eventually came with the right one. Now it is elbow grease time to put it together.
The metal chasis erected.

Getting the wood siddings and roof

Getting late in the evening and had to stop. Here it is standing up
(http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/hopfull_romantic/DSC08645.jpg)
We still have a bit of work to finish; a smoke stack on the right side of the roof, a shelf where the tower would sit on the right and the SURPRISE door. On Saturday, a special company will come to coat the whole MANSION with similar materila as you can see on the fence.
Stay tuned, I will be posting progress pics.
HR
Dang Hady, That is fantastic looking!
So does Momma think you are crazy yet?
That is a kewl MANSION for your Bradley.
CRG,
off course she does and wait until it is finished to see if she would be still married to me
Very Nice!
That does look great. You may have inspired me to build my cabinet, which has been in the works for 4 years. :)
HR,
That looks great. I am looking forward to see the finished product.
Brad
Thanks Olds, Habs and car54.
Those pictures are just a start. I will be posting a few more this afternoon. I am so looking forward to have it finished. The company that will do the final coating will start Saturday and will finish in 3 - 4 days.
HR
Very nice!
The casters are a great idea..
I like the way this looks
I am wondering if I could find something like this "stock" and then finish the outside of it and create a door
I think I will start checking some warehouse shelving distribution centres or something like this
I really like this, well done
That's an excellent idea, putting it on wheels. I would have to go a little bigger on the wheels since I don't have any cement to roll it around on. Great looking project Hady!
HR
Like the hillbillies say up here.
COOL BEANS
;D
nepas
COOL BEANS!!! ;D
That looks slicker than Snot on a porcelain doorknob!!!
Can't wait to see the finished mansion Hady.
That looks fantastic so far. Can't wait for the final pics and its first smoke.
Real nice!
Looks GREAT HR! Can't wait to see the finished product.
HOLY CRAP!!
Can't wait to see the finished product Hady. The exterior finish is going to look great if it is going to be the same as your garden walls.
KyNola
Like they say down in Arkansas
SWEEEET!

That looks really great Hady. Now, if you get a fairly long (heavy duty) extension cord and harness up Zelda, your smoke house will respond to "Come!". ;D ;D ;D

I would love to get the credit but it was the man in the second picture who suggest that.
HR
That looks sweet. Will be interested in seeing how it all turns out. I'm thinking of building one at the house we're getting ready to close on.

Thanks Kevin. BTW, these casters are rated for 700 KGS / 1500 lbs.

Nepas, I have to admit...the original idea was inspired by your smoke house.

A sink would have been a great addition. But weher that bad boy is going to sit is fat from water sources in the garden :-\

Here are some more pictures
Lower shelf for storage. Middle shelf where the SG and the cold smoke adaptor will sit and the upper half shelf will be where the Bradley tower will call home. On the left side you can see the electrical switches for the lights (two one internal and one where the wire is sticking out from the top triangle) and the fan that sits right under the wooden chimeny on the top which shall also have a nice hood.
(http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/hopfull_romantic/DSC08652.jpg)
This is an internal shot for the fan and the neon light. The fan speed is controled by a switch to increase or decrease the speed.

Now I have to wait for the guys tomorrow to start the coating and weatherproofing.
Hady

Thanks STC. It does get down some here to the mid to upper 20s with snow and ice.
HR

seemore
Looks like it is coming together rather nicely HR
That's slicker than bobby socks on a rooster!
I am very very very jealous
Great job, can you make one for me ?
Thats lookin good HR cant wait to see the next faze of construction.
Quote from: oakville smoker on December 11, 2009, 03:00:05 PMGreat job, can you make one for me ?
I'm guessing that the airfare for on-site design and construction will make it a bit less cost-effective than you might hope. But then again, it's Christmas and I'm nominally Jewish - what do I know?
Like they say in Alaska, Crap it's cold out !!! hm guess that doesn't really apply here ;D ;D
That's looking good HR.
