Oooopps.. forgot a Hole73 viewsThis is the last section of roof that needs to be built. The last 32 square feet that needs to be finished. You can see the truss extensions under the strapping. The sheathing is Douglas Fir 1/2" 4'x10' sign faces. I like recycling a lot.Rudi

Cutting the Driveway72 viewsA couple years ago another company that did some work here ruined the driveway. So they had to fix it. Their operator lifted the driveway too high.. oh about 6 inches and the driveway became higher than the concrete floor of the shop. Oooops.... that means water problems....Rudi

Hmm.. How to Get in???67 viewsWith the new doors under the Green Tarp, I should be able to get into the Cabinet Shop a lot easier now than previously. You can see the screen door still on the North Wall. That will be framed in and a casement window I hope will be in place.

Almost Done-0665 viewsLike I said, it ain't pretty. This is the corner that was heavily damaged last winter during the blizzards and heavy wind storms that we had a number of times. Two trusses were damaged, 4 sheets almost ripped off, 1 sheet gone.. but all is better now.
