Looks like your doing a fine job Pete. Nice to have friends that will lend a hand and help out.
I guess you are going to do the frame work and roof the building

Finally some more pics......
Special visitors- we even had cookies for them, although this was the only board they carried to earn them. Thanks for stopping John and Lorrie, good seeing you, but next time we put you to work.
Look, it is actually a picture of me working on the building. I was beginning to think this wasn't going to happen. The first wall going up.
Second rainbow in two days- no masons, probably a good thing.
more walls coming along
the tall walls getting built.
end of the day today.
masons coming tomorrow to pour the slab (hopefully)

Hi Pete,
Was thinking about your shop today. Thought I was gonna have to come to NY to see how it was going. Concrete is a water dependant substance. I did a lot of looking befor I let the guys pour mine. Don't let them talk you into pouring it real dry. Even after it appears dry it is still doin gits thing in hardening. That was the reason the old timer told me to keep it wet.....and I poured 6" of concreat because of all the heavy arn.

I fought to keep the Gov. in power......they keep screwing around I'll fight to get rid of them.
Crzy,
Great work, it is so nice to see the walls going up! Am I correct that you boxed in for one exhaust fan located in the woodshop? If you did, nice touch.
We have our fingers crossed that the masons come today, the sooner they come the sooner they go and the memory will fade of their lack of performance.
P.S. we got cookies without moving the board, love the action shot.

To answer some questions.
Nektai, i would say that the slab is not up to my standards, but as you know my standards are high. The hole in the wall up high is for an exhaust fan.
Mystry, if you show up, we will put a hammer in your hand. I kept the slab wet and sealed it quickly which will help contain the moisture.
That's all the progress for now. My next two weeks will be spent in Philadelphia as I will be participating in the International Turning Exchange.
There is a blog covering the residency here: http://www.lynneyamaguchi.com/wordpress/
That is all for now.

we have been gettin' on the building. Lots of help here this week. Plus, today we have received the ultra bonus- Internet access. I promise to have way more updates and progress reports.
Here are pics from this past week. We are working on the interior walls.
Also standing up some scaffold
and affixing scaffold to the sides of the building- these will help with the trusses.
Next is the platform for a loft above the downstairs rooms.
The crew nailing the subfloor
completed and viewed from the other end.

Starting a new post for the trusses which arrived on thursday morning.
The trusses have an attic space in them which should be quite useful. Here we are getting ready to ramp one up the end on the building onto the platform.
temporary rails are constructed in order to slide them the length of the building
Standing the first truss up
it's beginning to look like a building
from afar, you can see the ramps for both steps that the trusses have to travel.
Our day was ended today by a power outage. Tomorrow we begin in earnest to stand the trusses and create a roof.
