Building the shop--week 4

Monday, October 15: We finished the north wall tonight. There was no wind, and we got the 7 remaining sheets up in about 2 hours after work.
Sunday night, October 14: It was another windy weekend! Saturday was 91 degrees with 25-30 mph winds out of the south, so putting up sheets was impossible. We worked on the trim around the doors, put up base trim, etc.

The winds didn't start out too bad on Sunday (contrary to the weather forecast), but as the day went on, it got windier and windier. We finally gave up on the east side and moved everything to the north wall to take advantage of the windblock from the west wall for the southwest winds. We had to cut panels around the door and the roof sloping upward complicated the process. We worked until about 9pm with lights and finished about half of the east wall and half of the north wall.
