I totally get my anxiety from my mother. She was up walking at sunrise because she couldn't sleep. Big day ahead :)

ridiculous face pic! I think JUDE wins this round...

Ok time to get moving
Picture
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.
Picture
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.
Picture
Hey there uncle joey :D
Picture
Getting the first panel onto our bottom 2x4.
Picture
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!

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.
Picture
Yeah! Time for noms! Thanks a bunch :D
Picture
I think there might have been water on the camera lens, but it's a nice effect, no? Accidental vignette haha
Picture
back to work

Getting ready to connect the next wall. Here come those wheel wells...
Picture
Oooh run for the hills; aunt Kristi has a hammer.
Picture
Picture
Wheel well cuts = more foam burning
Picture
Oh hey! A surrogate big brother. Nice hat :)
Picture
Let's um, get some roof panels up, cause it's definitely gonna rain soon...
Picture
We had a variety of different sized helpers
Picture
ok , roof panels aren't going to move. Let's get this tarped up for today

Ahhh safe for now...
