    Wow, very nice. I hope she's suitably impressed!
    I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger....then it hit me.

    Does she know that's where you intend to store her, yet?

    I'll join Jim in congratulating you on getting it done in a week. I realize that is basic framing with probably no insulation or interior wall but.. that is still a chore to do the frames.. tresses.. hang doors and windows in a week by yourself. And then add a porch rail and floor. Nice and very timely as you apparently didn't waste any!

    Looks like a ton of work to me for a week...

    To me it's more like a little cabin than a storage building.
    Great job David.

    Probably a wise idea to add the insulation down in Pensacola, Dave. I lived in Tampa for 6 years after I got home from VN and walking into an outer storage shed in summer was shall we say... "breath-taking".

    Even with 10 hour days.. if you include the foundation which I assume it sits on concrete blocks considering your sandy soil... a week is pushing it and it is a tell it's not the first time you have taken on a construction project of this nature. Just a guess? And my first thoughts before reading were as Gary's.... looks like a cabin and I love cabins.
