New Site

It's been a painful month of no building progress.  I reached the limit for progress at the original covered site (if I built more it wouldn't fit out of the garage).  I found a great new site closer to home and have spent the last month prepping the new site with fresh new gravel thanks to my new fantastic hosts.


 Last weekend I moved the Manor closer to home and under the open sky where it promptly got wet.  Now it's under tarps and waiting for a rain free day to dry out, then the fun begins.  Next step is to frame around the new windows and door.


Then I have a decision to make: sheath the walls with plywood while they are still on the ground and easier to work with which unfortunately will make them heavy as hell and I'll need lots of help to raise them, or raise the walls and try to muscle the plywood sheathing into place by myself.  I'm concerned that after I lay the glue I won't have time to screw the plywood down before the glue sets.  Wall raising party?
