It is, my family lives in kalispell. Pretty area but 14 hours of driving round trip keeps me from getting up there as much as I’d like

Also got a def drum from work so I don’t have to empty my bucket every morning on the condensate drain line

Made it back to finish the long wall. Turned out pretty good, definitely not perfect. Those YouTube guys sure make it look easy, but just like anything takes practice to become efficient

Clean work, love the look of the extended overhang at the peak

Almost finished the long wall today, I’m happy with it

put some snow stop trim on the roof and installed a French drain for the gutters on the lean too side of the building. Water was pooling up on the side of the lean too, it’s rained a few times since and it seems to work well. Putting steel up on the inside of the shop now, maybe get dome decent...

decided to upgrade to a 400 amp main at the house to pickup the shop

Looks great, are you gonna stain the board and batt?

Got some work done in the loft, still need to run ceiling joist and miscellaneous blocking. That bedroom closet over the stairs sure made my brain hurt, gonna be interesting making some built ins for it. Bedroom is 11x14 and the living area is 18x14. There will be those two openings looking out...

Just basic 3” door hinges from Home Depot. Nothing fancy, 8 bucks for a 3-pack. YouTube video hidden door , there’s a link for ya if you wanna try it
