After bidding Rob and Lori farewell I continue the work on building the remaining walls. I have all the sticks up now straight and level making Dad proud I’m sure. The unusual characteristics about this build is, the cement slap and roof have a down slope of about 2 inches. which makes the studs look crooked in comparison to the roof. Something I have to get over I guess. 
Just a Little Help From My Friends
The next victim to assist me in my build was Donna’s dad, Del. A little background first: We went to Del’s family reunion up by Alton Missouri in the Ozark Mountains. Met some real nice folks. Afterwards Del & Arlene follow us back to our home to continue the visit. Donna and Arlene had always heard about Canton, Texas where Texas largest and oldest swap meet or flea market occurs before the weekend of the 1st Monday of the month. I believe it covered about 12 acres. We turn that trip in a camp outing. This was Del and Arlene’s first time in the new camper and it worked well for the four of us. The next test will be for 6 (Sam, Matt Del, Arlene) or maybe not. Again another enjoyable event ended and we came back home.
During the following week Del was getting a little bored especially when he is away from his garden in Englewood, CO. I wanted to make him happy so I talk him into doing a little work on my man cave. Del is a retired electrician, he was able to help me select the correct wire based on my power requirements, along with plugs and junction boxes. And sense I had to work, he kindly volunteered to install these items as well. What professional work! He did it in such a way that a Texan electrician could simply look at the labor install my fuse box and sign off on the work, saving me countless amounts of paid electrical labor and cost.
Next, I start the outer wall.
