Travis,
you don’t need a new post for each pic. Just add it then put the cursor to the right/bottom of it and hit return and add the next. Should be able to do them all in one (i haven’t encountered a limit yet)
What kind of plywood is that? looks nice
It looks like Luan, the stuff they use on closet doors.
Yes it is similar to luan… Thanks Devon, couldnt remember how to do the pictures…
will you include a tower for hose drying?
I have thought of that Korm…
I like the style of the building Travis.
I hope your material will hold up better than luan if you are planning to leave it outside. I used pieces of luan to make roof panels for my covered bridge and painted them with multiple coats paying attention to the edges but after 2 years in the elements the luan delaminated and had to be replaced.
Keep up the good work.

More Progress this evening… windows
Decided to add a addition to the side.
Framed and ready to glue to the side of building.
glued and pinned, ready for the roof panels.
test fit with windows and sign framed.
This all I got done tonite. Tomorrow will I start on the belfry and back side of the small addition.It will have the smoke chimney for the fireplace. Gotta keep the water from freezing in the winter.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif) I will be adding clap board siding which I also cut out tonite. It will be added one piece at a time. Still need to make a bell, which I will turn down on the wood lathe maybe tomorrow. Doors for the front and one door for the back will also need to be framed. Trim will be added after the siding goes on. The steel roof will be close to last. Lots of small details will be added as I go along, as the Firemen take pride in their new House…
Good progress being maintained * Travis. It is looking good.
- that comment is what we in the UK say periodically at prolonged call outs Travis.
Thanks Alan… (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif)
Great work Travis. Coming along quite nicely. I like the windows.
Very nice love the window details. This is going to be attractive
Slow down! Too good too soon!
Where are my fellow professional Crastinators?
Great start.

John, I haven’t been procrastinating, I been sick. But I am still poking along in fits and starts.
Well the last two nites I have made lots of progress to make up for the next two weekends due to upcoming saturday work. Most of the work on the belfry is done. Need to finish the roof sheeting, and some trim. the trim will come after it is painted. I didn’t get the bell turned like I wanted too, but it won’t take long to do that on the wood lathe…
framing the bell tower…
Test fitting to the roof line and siding added.
Trusses test fit…
Front view with bell tower frame.
I also decided to add another room onto the back it may have a door cut out…not sure yet…
So that is all for this evenings work. I have a bunch of lap board siding cut awaiting to be hung. getting close to doing some painting. Have trim to make too. Front doors will be made soon and I also want to change the windows on the bottoms.
Real nice work Travis. They must have sold a lot of ice cream to fund a structure that nice.
John: Check my build log if you want to see a good case of procrastination!
David: Can you keep the sickness down south from now on? I’ve been having the same problem.
Randy, but I thought friends were supposed to share things.
Travis, if your not careful, you might end up getting this done by the deadline. That would be a shame.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
I’ve enjoyed watching the progress.
