Walls (part 2); Vacation (day 1)

I suppose it doesn't say much about one's construction skills if the most important tools one possesses are a reciprocating saw and a wrecking bar... That was us today. We got off to a rousing start. We got Jesse out of bed at seven o'clock and had him help us stand up the east wall. Smooth as silk, no glitches whatsoever. Then we cut another 'wall access slot' into the existing roof and got the west wall in place with just Hannah's help! We were unstoppable! Then we laid out everything for the final wall.... Things went downhill fast

I won't bore you (or embarrass us) with the details. Suffice it to say that eventually everything got put together as it was supposed to be assembled. We managed to get all of the walls standing. They're square and straight - and in the end, isn't that really all that matters?


Vacation continues tomorrow...
