Starting Construction

Another foggy morning, but that is normal here.  The first of today's crew has arrived; Bruce and his son, Nick.  They immediately started putting the first wall together.  This will be the front wall.



The first wall is up.  It is actually the first wall of Kevin's room.


The first section of the side wall has been raised.  This is the "front" section of Kevin's room.  The next wall will connect to the "front" wall of my she shack.


This is the next section of that wall, and is the "front" section of my she shack.  Also, more help has arrived - Ryan.


Bruce is connecting the two front walls.  There will be a divider (which you will see later) between the walls and we will each have a door in that opening.


By now the rest of help has arrived.  It Stephanie and her boyfriend, Ray.  As you can see, the wall dividing mine and Kevin's room is now in place.  They are also working on the back wall.


The back wall is in place.  This picture was taken from the backyard.


They are in the process of connecting the side and rear walls.


This is the final wall. They needed all hands on deck for this one.  This picture was taken from Kevin's driveway.  The opening on the left will remain open because Rick's boat will be parked in that space.

It was now time for me to leave for church.  Also, the workers decided to call it day.  It was hot and everyone was tired.  Renea had fixed them hillbilly lasagna for supper along with garlic bread.  After eating, everyone headed for home.

That looks like it is going to be really neat, and nice to have your own space. Is the Big Red Shed on your property? Is that your playhouse?? Looking forward to seeing the finished product. And I am sure you are also. Enjoy! Take care.
