Friends and family help make this dream happen. Dan Weber, Gordie Darmon, Tom Guirl, Joel Spanier threw in.

Beaver moving some mud.

Dean Shattuck and Rob Holmes were the hired guns to make sure the job got done right.

Almost finished. Dean Shattuck ran the concrete finishing machine a couple hours later and put a slick finish on the slab.

The first wall was the hardest.

Kevin Bodey running the nailing crew.

Scott Perian, Todd Chewning, Lisa Fuchs, Hannah Fuchs and Alison Liston working on one of the headers.

The front wall was the trickiest since headers and door openings had to be in the right place.

Things are coming together.

Tom Newton and Kevin Bodey putting up the first of many trusses.

Me passing up to Kevin Bodey. Kevin did almost all of the roof work. I quickly remembered my fear of heights.

Kevin and Grace Bodey with Hannah Fuchs driving some nails.

The structure is complete. Now for the roof and siding.

Me laying bricks. Without a doubt, I'm the slowest brick layer that ever held a trowl.

Maggie, Lisa and Hannah were great help mixing the mortar for all of the bricks to be layed. I'm sure they are not looking to go professional.

FINISHED
