In the morning this building was on two flatbed trucks; by afternoon it was as you see it, with the rafters raised. It's a kit barn that comes precut—just match the colors and the dots and nail. Fortunately the day was extremely clement (unlike today, as the poor crew puts on the roof). Erin was on hand to cheer on the crew most of the day (and worry about trucks getting stuck in the mud), Flip left work early to check it out before dark, and Wolfen and Chris showed up unexpectedly. When they expertly began covering stacks of boards with tarps, the contractor said, "Your whole family seems to be into construction!"
