EARTH ART AND FOODS |
As much as we hated to remove this large dogwood tree, it was where the greenhouse supposed to go. It took Peggy several days to dig it up. |
We placed the 2nd floor joists 16 inches apart right on top of the 6x6 support beams and nailed them to the beams. The support beam knee braces are larger than the ones on the walls since the support beams will be carrying a greater weight. |
The walls are made with 2x4's 16" apart. Before cutting the rough openings for the doors and windows, we determined the type, size and style of doors and windows we wanted. |
Due to a major ice storm a couple of years back we have had a lot of dead limbs to clean up from the property. Here we are cleaning the path behind the shop. |
The 2x4 studs are helping to reinforce the skeletal structure. The remaining door and window openings are ready for the arrival of special ordered materials. Peggy is enjoying the view from the second story. |
