Getting the wall panels in place required development of processes so that it could be accomplished with just two people – my wife and myself. Levers and my wife’s head – literally – positioned and held each panel while I drove the screws to fasten them to the structure. We were both up and down ladders all day long, for a couple of weeks.
Getting the roof purlins in place was a huge milestone. That required several days of working from atop a 10′ step ladder – absolutely not a comfort zone for me.
With the opening frame outs in place, wall and roof panels are next.
Admittedly, the package is heavy — really heavy. But hey, it’s supposed to be a building. The construction manual and how-to videos say two people can set it up over a long weekend. We’ll see.
