Building the shop--week 2 (Sunday)

We finished the roof today and got the building squared up and most bolts tightened. The wind finally calmed down this afternoon.

Building the shop--week 2 (Saturday)

This is where we started today. Rickey, Randy and I had been out a couple of nights this week and put up the north end beams and put all of the side and top beams in place on the ground. The weather forecast said "breezy", and I guess you can call 30mph winds with dust in your face all day breezy. It was the perfect day to put the roof on the shop--not!

Walt and Randy helped out all day once again. We had a crane for about 2 1/2 hrs and made great progress. We hope to finish framing the top tomorrow.

Walt and Randy helped all day, and Jim helped set the four main columns. We had to brace everything well before leaving for the day.

Sunday, Sept. 23 -- We had hoped to bring in the crane on Sunday, but had winds of up to 30-35 mph and needed to do more structural work. Randy and Walt helped out again all day. We got a lot done this weekend!
