That is the same color and material as the roof of my house! Good choice.

63 in Iowa in December. At least you can get some outside stuff done. Will you put snow dams on the roof?
 That is about the size of my barn, also open, where I have the camp-o-rama in July. Mine has dirt floor. Concrete would be nice.

The snow and ice will slide off of your roof. Basically they are like little sections of angle that you put up on the edge to prevent that. I need to put them on my roof over the garage, its a bummer when you have a 3 foot snow bank right outside the garage in the morning.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM IOWA!
With coffee in hand and the tree lit I'm waiting for the family to wake.
So here is the latest update with the wall for the electric and tillering of bows up the gables are the only thing left.

I am considering reporting this to the moderators for inappropriate language. Jw, children read these posts and your language can influence young minds. I really would appreciate it if you would revisited your use of the word "compound".  >:D

Had a chance to start thinking about phase 2 for summer. This will give me time to do some of the hand hewn work with the adz I have bought.
Paul is coming over to hunt in the morning and we should get phase 1 done afterwards. It's been a long road and I have learned a lot along the way. On phase 2 I hope to use all of that Wood you saw us cutting from the damm and boards cut using the chainsaw mill. It has been a couple years sitting in the garage so by spring it will be good and dry.

We worked real hard all day so could finish the building before monday. We have ice storms predicted.  Anyway we finished phase one today and it's now time for us to take a break and enjoy the rest of the hunting season. We can get back to making bows now.

Wow just read we could get 1 inch of ice Sunday night into Monday. We have been very fortunate to have had such great weather to complete the shelter during winter.
