Workshop

We haven't completely finished our house yet and Todd is on to building again. We are building a workshop that will eventually be turned into a guesthouse. We had a rectangle concrete slab poured back in April but just recently got motivated to build the shop. It's a very simple design and we are pretty just making it up as we go. We had toyed with cutting our own timber frame but eventually decided to go with a stick built design. Todd and his dad have been busy at work on the weekends. We have been using our 82' Westie to house the tools for the job, along with the air compressor and generator. I'm glad it's getting used for something! Our poor "old gent" hasn't run in years and needs a garage to rest in. Maybe a garage will be next on our list? We have opening for the doors but will cut the windows out later. I didn't get shots of the roof trusses going up but here's the roof on. Here's Todd rolling on the tar paper in preparation for the roofers. We decided to go with another red metal roof. It's an investment up front but will be worth it down the road. Cedar enjoys going to the job site and seeing her dadda and pop-pop, especially when the bobcat is there! She had just gotten this new yellow slicker and I couldn't resist taking photo after photo in the pretty sunlight. I just noticed the apple in her arm. She loves to walk around and eat apples!
