Here are Shannon & Vance inspecting the site, with the frame partially roughed-in.
Shannon and I doing some fancy hammering.
All day, Edgar kept an eye on the happenings, and stayed quite near us. Meanwhile, Haida was lurking in the bushes nearby, where she could hear everything, and Shrimpy stayed on the deck near the house, but could watch us.
Here's mom, pretending she actually worked on the thing.
Shannon and Vance, the real work-horses, standing on the completed frame.
Do Shannon and I look about five years old here? She had perfected an ambidextrous hammering technique. You can see that Edgar is picking up tips.
Two shots of Edgar, who thought it was pretty nice that we built him a nice platform for scouting the area and napping.
Two tired boys, after a good day's work.
