    I couldn't be at the property when it came time to add the sheet metal, windows and doors so these are from my trail camera. I asked their crew leader when the project started if it was okay to take pictures of them and he was fine with it as long as it was strictly of them working...

    They were very efficient! That was at the end of 3 complete days. There were some rain delays in between. Thanks FTWinfRiders. I try so hard to plan for everything ahead of time that it gets overwhelming. It helps so much to have done it once or twice before but I didn't have the luxury...
