WooHoo! The race is on! I got my windows installed today. My dad will be over tomorrow to help with the rafters and roofing.

Looking good!

And here I thought I was doing good only having help to stand the walls up and put the rafters up.

I find it more relaxing to work by myself. Nice and quiet makes it easy to think.

My dad has been the one helping me with mine. He and I haven't had the best of relationships until recently so it's been nice to spend this time with him working on this. He has no vested interest in helping other than he just wants to and he's been giving up his only day off to help each week.

That looks cool!

Dormer really adds a touch of character.

A Cape cod style coop.

Sorry my wife has decided that I will be building a big playhouse for the kids as soon as the hen house is finished. She tried to talk me into building a smaller coop and giving the kids the hen house. Not going to happen.
