While serving on our mission in Nauvoo, Pat had the primo wood shop/cabinetry shop in which to work. He was able to learn a lot from some of the other missionaries and he built a few very nice things. He kept saying that he needed a shop when he got home.
Last fall, he had Tony pour the concrete. Then we covered it with some foam insulation so it would be protected somewhat from the cold weather. Then he decided we needed a building permit. Long story short, we paid for a survey and got a variance which was an extra $400 but was granted. We found out that the alley behind our home isn't exactly where we thought it was. It actually goes through the Krueger shed and garage.
We started the build a few weeks ago and i had to learn how to use a very powerful nail gun.
We got some of each of the walls up but didn't finish as we need to cut the plywood. Good thing. We go in and out of the interior of that shop through the walls which is very convenient.
Jeff helped put the first truss up and then it was discovered that the pitch of the roof is not true so Pat had to do some modification. I helped him put up the next two trusses and Tom helped put up the rest.
Together we put up the roof decking and then the steel. There's a lot yet to do but it is progressing and I'll be happy when I can do some of the work again.
To be continued.
