I totally get my anxiety from my mother. She was up walking at sunrise because she couldn't sleep. Big day ahead :)
JUDE and the wenderZ finishing prep work on the splines
ridiculous face pic! I think JUDE wins this round...
Ok time to get moving
We had to cut the first panel because we decided to bring the walls in just a tad because of the width of the welded on iron beams. Cutting a panel also means burning back the foam to the correct depth. Note: burning foam smells awful and we figure the fumes probably aren't fantastic for your health. Also, the tool gets and stays ridiculously hot, watch your extremities and clothes.
So here we are, officially putting up wall #1. Certainly a learning experience.
Little bit of trouble getting it to fall just right on that first 2x4 on the floor.
Just holding up a wall like a bunch of bosses.
Hey there uncle joey :D
Getting the first panel onto our bottom 2x4.
The next two panels went on quite easily. So easily in fact that there aren't any pictures (or none that I have. By all means send me what you have if you haven't already). Preparing the first roof panel. This would be the smallest roof panel, and it would never be this simple again!
duo of kims marking our electrical chases (aka "wire tunnels")
There weren't ever enough tape measures. Lots of measuring
Where are we putting this one, ken?
The observers/photographers
And we got one full sized roof panel up before breaking for lunch. Woot woot. Beast mode.
Yeah! Time for noms! Thanks a bunch :D
I think there might have been water on the camera lens, but it's a nice effect, no? Accidental vignette haha
back to work
baby friendly zone
Getting ready to connect the next wall. Here come those wheel wells...
Oooh run for the hills; aunt Kristi has a hammer.
Wheel well cuts = more foam burning
Oh hey! A surrogate big brother. Nice hat :)
Let's um, get some roof panels up, cause it's definitely gonna rain soon...
We had a variety of different sized helpers
ok , roof panels aren't going to move. Let's get this tarped up for today
Ahhh safe for now...
