The builders have been busy for the last few days! The holes on the back wall (opposite the roll-up door) are going to be closed in for windows -- they're open right now because they're convenient for the builders to walk back & forth through for supplies. The hole to the right on the gable end wall will be another window, and the hole nearest the roll-up door will be a personnel door....

The builders erected the front and rear walls today. They're saving the end wall for last....

They broke ground today! I've spent the last week or so cutting down overgrown crap that needed to go, and what seems like forever before that planning. The grading people started hauling off the brush today. By the end of next week they tell me they'll be pouring....

The plan is to add a bay off the back of the existing building as big as I can -- I'm limited by an overhead easement for a powerline, so I can only go back 18'. But it will be the full width of the existing building. Once that's built, I'll convert the existing building into a garage as well (which is what it started as, before the previous owners made it into a house!)

Progress!

Not the best job -- I'm glad I didn't pay someone to do this! I'd be screaming for my money back right now. But the clock's ticking and I'm tired of fooling with it. It's in paint -- that's what matters!
