The building monster begins to rise, even though nothing fits.

My Sister bought a building 'kit', that they told her she could build...liars all!

So, using the normal Sister tool, she called me; can you build this little outbuilding? When I visited, I found a 10 by 14 jig saw puzzle! A perfect mess, designed badly, and cut by someone who has little woodworking talent.

Here is one full day to sort and mark parts, and two half days with a hammer:

Nothing is square or plumb, because the parts don't fit well! The walls don't have a double top plate, so they bow out at each joint...design issue. I started to double them up, and realized that the siding would open up if I did!

We had the walls framed and up day one, and we added the roof trusses after we built them the second afternoon.

We began some sheathing to stabilize the rafters:

Hard to find extra time to work on a building I hadn't planned for; but Sisters can't handle these things!

I had a friend helping, but the next time he'll be e busy:

The walking sticks were thick on the plywood:

Had to knock off a lot of ants too, but they weren't worth a photo (and I got real busy removing them), some were the big black ants that are about 3/4" long!

I did have a little help:

This is one of five that 'helped' me; but we still got a lot done. They all rotated through, but Jonathan here stayed, and brought a lot of cold water out! It was hot, so the water was appreciated.

Timing is always the issue, so we'll see how much gets done; with one old fool working on it, LOL 😆😁
