today was day1 of the box construction (unless you count the three weeks of planning and fretting i've already put in). i didn't think i'd be able to pull it off. no saw, no wheels, no money to pay someone to do it. the box is a place for our baby girl to sleep in. a bit inhumane, except for she doesn't like light while she sleeps.
i'm beginning to see why balloon framing has hung around for so long! i framed this wall in about 3 hours...not one lesson (unless you count architecture school - but in this case i wouldn't).
oh, and the best part is that leopoldi's hardware down on the corner was cheaper than lowe's. i granny carted the lumber up the hill and sawed it the old fashioned way!
i'm a little more of a man tonight!
