Whoop! Gettin it done! And it’s freezing outside. .

Almost ready for concrete.
Getting a rocky start to the day.
Framing a small workshop in 30 seconds.
Two and a half days
The Amish carpenters only spent two and a half days to build the workshop. That includes framing, sheathing, wrapping, the roof and shingles. As well as hinging the windows. We can’t hang the doors as of yet until the floor goes in.
I was so impressed on how well they worked together, and how there was little to no wasted motion. I helped where I could, dragging lumber around or handing roof rafters up to the men n the scaffold.
Even got a fire going in the pit with the scrap wood.
I closed up the doors with left over OSB and a tarp to try and keep the heat in. I’m also using the concrete blankets to cover the floor. I need to keep the dirt from freezing in order to pour the concrete.
A little deconstruction
The carpenters will be here in a few days. I wanted to do a little prep work ahead of time. Took down the gutter and also the soffit material. I also trimmed back the cedar siding on the back of the garage to make it easier when we tie in the new shop.
