The New Workshop

PHASE 5: Building the Workshop.

     Now that the bedrooms are near completion, I can concentrate on finishing my workshop. I miss casting and tinkering with my projects so this phase is a welcome site. I will work on the shop during the daylight hours and finish the last of the bedrooms of an evening. Again, you can click on the pictures for a slightly larger version of the picture. The four walls exluding the top plates went up over two days. I am on hold not until July 1st. That is when the trusses are supposed to be delivered. I guess in the meantime, I will work on the rooms and help my youngest with his Amphora boat project.
