Well..

Not sure what to say...

Pictures say a thousand words... so here are the pics.



There are more to be posted here later. They are on another camera.

We started with a concrete slab...

Saturday we framed the walls, blew up a compressor, bought a new compressor, finished framing the walls, wondered why the second compressor stopped, realized it shipped without oil, borrowed another compressor, checked the oil, raised the first 6 roof trusses, and called it a day.

Sunday we raised the rest of the trusses, sheeted the roof, and started shingling.

Monday we finished shingling and hung the front door.

I'm not much of a general contractor, so we were short of 2 key materials... shingles, and OSB sheeting...

In the end, its done. We all learned alot.


Some stats:

number of wasp stings : 14
number of bottles of water consumed: 60
number of poops in the forest: 2
number of beers consumed: 100
number of games of bowling played: 10
bundles of shingles used: 45
compressors fried: 2
number of people who almost fell off the roof: 3


Thanks to all of the people who gave up their long weekends to come and help me get this wrapped up. Your help is VERY appreciated.
