Tuesday-Friday
Last week was so busy. We went from a non-level soil surface, to a four-walled shape. tuesday was crucial work. Tuesday was the day we solidified our foundation by hanging 2x10x16 across the posts horizontally, and then created joints using 2x8s going the opposite was across the 2x10s. We did this so we could have 16in centers and so our whole shed wouldn't fall after a week. This was hard work, especially because I was the only one who knew exactly what to do, so explaining it to the rest of the crew led to some confusion and dissolve, but alas we figured it out and pressed on. After a long day tuesday, wednesday was a nice break. We started off by driving out to the Hard Rock Rockcino, where we looked at some blueprints and took a nice riding tour of the grounds. There was a little wrinkle in the plan, because when we tried to go inside, they denied us access due to our lack of 21 years of age. So we hopped in a golf cart/gator type of thing. We rode around talking about structure and what we were going to do about our roof. After an informative 25 minute ride, we headed back to the work cite to finish up the floor, but a distracted unit struggled to complete the entire floor, and we ended up finishing it thursday. After finishing the floor thursday morning, we were greeted by a surprise lunch visit from mrs. senkfor. Donotos pepperoni pizza filled our bellies, and headed off to lowes to buy lumber for the walls. Friday morning we began work on the walls, with a little help from my dad, we finished two walls in the morning, enjoyed a fantastic Chick-fil-a lunch from Mrs. Goodman, and then put up a third wall before quitting time. On saturday my dad and I constructed and put up the fourth wall. It was a long week, but fruitful and rewarding.
