Day 10: more walls

Getting closer to getting an enclosed structure. I decided to just build the walls on the platform stick by stick which worked pretty well. Still at least another day on walls...

The view of the Sheyenne river 

Days 8 and 9

We got a lot done. The walls started going up. We built the first side on the ground and hoisted it up. That was a little    dicey, but we did it. 

Day 7: floor and ladder

Beautiful weather to work outside today. Got the floor and ladder done. 

Day 6: braces and trap door

Trevor helped  me finish the corner braces and trap door today. 

Day 5: corner braces.

Several days have gone by and we started putting the deck boards on for he floor. But, we realized we really needed some kind of corner bracing before we got too much further. 

Days 3 and 4: floor joists

Next we started the platform. This went much smoother than expected. The weather was nice and the kids helped out some.

12 ft 2x6 boards for the floor.
