Finished slab, Sept 28.

You can tell I'm not building this myself - - I've got time to take pictures.

How much have you done this month?

Glenn, your question got me to looking at what I had posted. There was a slight operator error [me] - - sometimes I'm calendar impaired. I think it was my 5th post where I said the next 3 photos were made on Sept 26 - - well shoot, that's wrong. It would be hard to stake out the corners, smooth the surface & drill the holes before the loads of clay were delivered. I meant to say those next 3 photos were all from Oct. 26.
Bottom line is that real constuction began Oct. 26. Once they started they made great progess.
A load of lumber was delivered yesterday. The contractor should be back tomorrow - - although a cool front is supposed to come through & bring some [badly needed] rain.

Nov 1. Started installing double girders along the walls that will hold the trusses.

Girder close up. This shows the opening [14'] for sliding doors.

Nov 2. Started truss construction. Made pretty good progress till the rains came. Since work stopped, we've received almost 3.5" of rain. I assume work will begin again tomorrow. With the passage of the cool front I don't know if you'll see many more guys working sans shirts.

Building is a lot of fun mixed with frustration.

I love doing it as a part time hobbie.

Nice looking shop. Have fun with it.
