August and Noah (one of the teens from Grace Baptist Church). We think they look a LOT alike!

From L-R it is Tom, Mike and Scott, the 3 adult leaders from Grace Baptist Church.

Back to work in the morning. Time to get the rafters up.
|
|
Our old septic tank is settling, so they dug a hole above it and filled it in with old concrete debris then topped that with the dirt.
|
Tom poses for a quick shot while hanging rafters.
|
|
All of the rafters are in.
|
Scott is working on hanging the 2x6 face trim on the rafters.
|
|
Mike nailing in the trim.
|
I'm not sure what Clay's doing, but I'm sure it's helpful.
|
|
Not sure what Tom's doing either, but I know it's helpful.
|
Scott is still working on the 2x6 trim.
|
|
The back trim is almost done and it's a tight squeeze!
|
Just a couple more nails.
|

Clay starts hanging hurricane brackets.
|
|
Nathaniel helps with the brackets.
|
Now all the boys are working.
|
|
Now they're not working because they're posing.
|
One side of the roof has plywood, but the other is still waiting. All of the window openings have been cut out now too.
|
|
Another view.
|
The kids are on the bus and ready to head for camp. We took our 2 youngest plus 7 visitors. Braden is "Bus Captain" for the trip.
|
|
The inside wall is going up quickly.
|
This shows plywood on the front of the building.
|
|
Another view of the wall going up inside.
|
All but one of the windows is in. The last is being left out temporarily to have a place to pass tools through.
|
|

|
This morning they are organizing everything to get ready to lay shingles.
|
More organizing.
|
|
More organizing.
|
Work has begun. Shingles are being laid.
|
|
Work progressed quickly.
|
We have a system going to make the work roll.
|
|
This Central AC unit was donated for the new building. It was delivered today.
|
The other half of the A/C system. It's old but we're told it works very well.
|
|
Now we're working on the backside of the roof laying shingles.
|
The outside wall is complete and the last window is in.
|
|
It's hard to see, but one of the 2x6 rafters was "reinforced" with two 2x12 rafters to help support the weight of the roof.
|
All of the shingles are done, they just need to be cut on the ends. All of the windows are in and the last sheet of siding is on.
|
|
Another view of the side of the building.
