Framing

We had family over for Thanksgiving, so we decided to frame the walls. Well, maybe a wall. Well. It was raining, and freezing, and everything was covered with a layer of ice. Seemed like a great day to build.

We set up to cut the boards. It kept sleeting. The toe-plate of the first wall is sitting in the right-hand foreground.

And then one wall is nearly put together!

One wall, tapered for the slope of the roof. Four corners all nailed together.

Having a hot-chocolate break.

We had to nurse the compressor to life every so often---it didn't like the cold.

Here is a list of all the sticks needed for the second wall.

We got the second wall section put together. We put both walls back on the trailer, and packed everything up. Then we went back inside where it was warm. We had to scrape the ice off the car, again.
