Weekend 2, I started this week really slow, but I had adjust the height due to my leaning tree (I think his days are numbered). So day one was applying the 3/4 in. PT ply down on the floor and building the front wall. I planned for two 30 in. doors, but changed my mind to include a window on front. 2x4 construction with 2 - 2x6 with 1/2 in ply sandwiched between them for the door and window header. The walls are 75 1/4in. from high, including the floor.
Day 2 was a bit more easy and fun. I pre-measured all the walls, then cut all pieces for each wall, laying out the wall across my whole back yard. I should have taken snaps of that. I then nailed all walls on the ground. Lara was able to help me place the walls and hold them while nailed all the walls in place. It was so nice to each wall just fit into place.
Here's a couple picdtures of the structure with all the exterior walls up. I still need to build the interior load bearing wall that will hold the beginning of the back hip roof. So if you can imagine, there will be a gable rook in the front and a 2-sided hip roof on the back. You'll see.
