9/25/08 - Now the fun part begins and we'll start to see a building taking shape! Thanks go to Jim Knight for letting us use his staging and for having his men set it up for us. |

9/26/08
- The call went out to Club members via email that we would be needing
a crew to help frame the building on the 25th and 26th. We got
a very good response, but the weather did not cooperate, and we only
worked a half day on Friday before the rains came and washed out our
plans. |

|
|
Framing begins. Thanks go to Gene Knox for letting us use his generator so we could have electricity for the power tools. Pictured (left to right) are Gene Knox, Tom Reed, Fern Dumoulin, John Blais, and Bob Stickney. |
|
| Since the building is 38' x 54', the walls were framed in 12 foot long sections. | |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
The first section along the west wall
goes up! |
|
| The west wall went up quickly and smoothly. | |

|
That's Gene and John on the staging. On the ground are Tom Reed and Rob Cameron. |

Last task of the morning ... bracing. |
|
 |
|
With rain in the forecast for the next couple of days, everyone gathers round to decide on a work plan. John Blais offers to take the 2x6x10s home to his garage and square off the ends in preparation for work on Monday. |
