It's Framing Time

Rick and I (but mostly Rick) built the frames.  The frames will make the structure taller and make the loft space.  Next week's plan: move gravel around, level the trailer on blocks, "fur out" the side (to fur it out is to add some width - I'm learning all kinds of things), add more insulation, attach the new walls, and maybe start the outside sheeting, and wrap it in Tyvek.  we have some volunteers coming Saturday.  Then things start to get crazy with Christmas, so I'm not sure what's going to happen.

What needs to be done before the crazy winter gets here is: trusses (which arrive Monday), and decking.  Most of the interior stuff will be done in the new year.  The exterior siding can be done later.  The shingles will have to wait for warmer weather.

We built 8 8 foot sections and they'll be lifted up top and nailed into place (once it's level and we're ready to start).  Rick was a HUGE help because he's done it before and knows exactly what to do for windows and spacing and corners and edges and all of it.
