They make a great balance beam for the kids.  I hope they don't try it when the trusses are up on the building... HPIM0887.JPG (1648596 bytes)
South walls are built and ready to set.  This is the way it looked in the morning when we took Ben to Purdue... HPIM0889.JPG (1280980 bytes)
...and this is what it looked like when we returned later that day!  Dad (age 83) used the crane combine to lift the wall sections while the Amish crew set and braced them.  Tim should leave more often...things seem to go quicker when he is away. HPIM0891.JPG (1227540 bytes)
The roof still leaks when it rains, but it's starting to look like a building now. HPIM0894.JPG (1262964 bytes)
