Great notes guys!
I have a heated garage (build area) so I'm lucky in that sense...need to have completed by March..taking it to Maine for the summer of camp hosting...here is my build order...I need to compare this to the order in the plans.
Love the gallery pictures, Colin...looks great..here's mine:
