I showered in the building tonight.  There is only a tray so I had to be careful but it was good.

[singlepic id=74 w=320 h=240 float=left]I picked up the metal roof and took a couple of days to install it.  It brought the project out from under the tarps and the rain is falling on it as I type.  With this complete I moved on to insulation and am half way through that mess.  The high last week was 105 and the air conditioner was drying the air but the temps inside were in the 90’s.

[singlepic id=77 w=320 h=240 float=left]The windows are in and that is a welcome thing.  I am eaten up with insect bites.  They were here long before I got here and seem determined to fight for their territory.  This is the European wasp. They are huge but docile away from the nest.

The rain was pooling near the edge of the tarp roof so I had to poke the water out with a boathook every few minutes.  This went on until after midnight.

Because I wanted to build it so it could be moved down the highway or at least have that option.  This limits you to 13’6″ in height and 8’6″ wide.  Most of these are built on trailer frames.  I thought I would too but the $3500 price tag needed to be spent building the place first.  I did build it on skids so a rollback has a chance to load it.  The width restriction is what makes designing tough.  A 10×15 footprint is easier to layout and having 18″ eaves looks so much better than none.

I guess I need to build something.  I looked at some trailers and searched a bunch of other ideas but it came to this building.  It will be a little bigger than the average storage building.  I am typing from the foundation now but it is dark and the bugs are attacking the light I have clipped above me.

[singlepic id=157 w=320 h=240 float=left]I am camping in the woods for now while I work on a new plan.  I had an invitation to sail in Charleston Race Week but I didn’t hear about it soon enough.  It looks like the weather is going to be really bad with rain all day Saturday.
