Closing In

It would be a shame not to show something of this Spring's finery, and the approach to our new shop viewed through the azaleas:





Now, meet Mason. He's the lithe young man laying out roof panels, while Jonathan keeps the decking from floating away:





With the roof panels started, Mason is able to cut the wall panels to their proper angles:





Which enabled the crew to install the rake trim, yielding something of a finished appearance. This no longer resembles the Alamo, but we are quite pleased with the lines nonetheless:




The roof was finished fairly quickly. Seems that before we knew it, the guys were installing the east wall sheets:




And this is the view as of Saturday, 6 April. It is a little hard to see in this shot, but most of the front window trim is now installed. A bit more Hardie board, a front door (!) and we'll be dried-in:




Thanks for dropping by!
