After a very productive day, I sure am glad I had a good friend and builder Dale Krentz to scale and handle all of the high altitude sickness I would have encountered on top of the rafters with the purlions. Dale by the way had a huge hockey career with Michigan State in the NCAA and also spent some time with Adarondiuk and the Detroit Red Wings under Jake Demers. That's my brother Tony handling the ground base jobs on this Motor Pool Shed. The Pine bough nailed to the top rafter is a local German tradition, when this job is done, work belts are dropped and the party starts. It's all coming together, Cheers Rob
Looks like 16" centers on the walls and 24" centers on the roof..
