Taking Shape

Hello all, it has been yet another working weekend. Friday night, Jeff and I worked in the rain to get some of the top plates on. What is a top plate? Well, it's a second 2x4 on top of the walls to tie them all together and create some extra reinforcement. Saturday produced garage walls. A huge, huge thank you to Bruce who has been with us every weekend. We (Jeff) really appreciate your help! Tim also stopped by, right at lunch time. Hmmm. I think he planned that one! It was great to have his help for a little while! Jeff will be putting up some smaller closet walls this week to get ready for the roof trusses next weekend. (That'll be a doozie!) Here's the pics.

Here's the front view. Bruce learned how to cut 45 degree angles on these doors. :)

See, it's looking more like a house! Just wait til next week!
