Him and I did some prework and he laid out the plate and built the headers Friday and I cut 76 2x4's to 11' 9''.Him and 5 other mostly carpenters had this all erected by 1:30p and they started at 7am! It's 35x50 on poured foundation with 3 man doors,2 overhd and 3 wndws.
They're going to set trusses this Saturday. There is also a 15x35 open carport like area on one end and 3 of us put up the 3 laminated beams on temp posts and dug and poured 3 piers using 12" dia sono tubes and poured concrete in them which required 16 bags of pre-mix. The trusses are dropped down 2' from main building on this part. It's looking real good at this point and the weather is moderating and sat looks like go time.Impressive. Good job!
