    So I got the steel o yesterday and only fell off the roof once (not on the wood plié side ether). The coupla is 3 wide 6 long and 3 hight. I only have a 2x4 evaporator but I might up grade some day so I planned ahead.

    Looks great. Love the vertical siding!!
    I don't know how you plan to finish the siding, but if transparent or semi transparent is in plan, do it soon, before the rain discolors the bottom of your boards. If that happens, you will need to use solid color stain or paint, both of which cover up the beauty of your wood. If time really is an issue, lean some old plywood or something against the sides to prevent discoloration, or hang an old tarp from under the eaves to the ground.

    Nice work man Looks great. It feels like that you have made a small house on a house. The big one is for adults and the small one is for kids. Besides that the location of the house is very beautiful.

    Cleaned up the arch and built a brick base so I don't have to bend over so much. Next is building a AOF and a AUF.

    Nice! Good idea raising it up as a taller guy I can appreciate it and your arms will get bigger if you have to pick kids up to look at the syrup or you could get a stool for them ha ha

    No worries I got the idea from others here and pics on the internet. Just go bigger than I did. Already to small but it's what I could afford.
