This is how the leveled and squared foundation frame looked last night after it was too dark to take a picture. I took this picture early this morning before we started working on the building.

This is Chris testing out the new floor after we nailed it down this morning.


The new floor was a nice area to build the walls on. Here is the first wall in progress.

This is me holding up the first wall we erected today. Walls are not very sturdy standing on their own!


We put braces on the wall to hold it in place while we built the 2nd wall.

The back wall is now standing! This 24 foot wall was rather a challenge for 2 people to erect....but somehow we succeeded!


The third wall was not as hard to put up, but it took a lot of measuring to get the slanted roofline cut just right.

Here is the building with all four walls in place!


And the view from the other side....

Late this evening we began nailing up the plywood for the sides. Here's what it looks like from the inside...


And from the outside. We are going to have a 6-foot double door on the front side where the opening is. Tomorrow we will finish nailing up the plywood, then put the rafters on, and nail plywood to the roof. After that we hope to have enough time left in the day to get the shingles on the roof and the decorative siding on the exterior walls (which we still have to go get!!) Hopefully we will be done with all these things by Thursday afternoon, in case the hurricane should send us tons of rain!
