Oh man let me tell you V, in the '80s I was 40ish, freshly single, experimentally dating and
hot on the disco dancing ballroom floor, Also loved jitterbug. Shined shoes, bell bottomed slacks and slick shirt every Friday and Saturday night. I was footloose, fancy free and makin up for lost time.
I've thought of having a "barn raising" party but, this thing is a bit tricky putting up and aligning, I've decided it's my poison for the many sins I've committed in life. I ought to be heaven bent when this is finished.
Now, Skurvey, a
"raised barn" party is a different story. I'll give that some serious thought. And, there's never a shortage of booze around this abode.
But V might want to bring his own "coolies" or "tinnies" because the only Aussey beer I've seen here is Fosters (Australian for beer) and I think he chooses something finer.

I know you have been up to your eyeballs in the project. |
This building has no inside bracing, no tie/guy wires for support. The beauty of it is it's self supporting so the interior is totally open, free of any space limiting structural supporting. That's one of the reasons we chose this design. I've got to get the boat inside out of the brutal FL summer sun. Yes, it falls under FL's strict hurricane code and the inspector has made all scheduled inspections. Due to the delays, explained early on in this thread, my building permit expired and I have to have it renewed. More $$$ down the drain.

V, I would love to get your butt up here (as opposed to being down there) but, please spare me and the Misses having to see your bare white @rss. That would be more than I want to know about you, my young friend.
