This weekend I put the house on pause and drove out to Ian's, where we, along with 8 other friends, constructed his long-awaited shop. He needed a space where he could could work in out of the elements.
My good friend Monique took much more comprehensive pictures from the beginning,
which can be found here, but I took a few between activities.

| It was a pile of shaped lumber at 9 am on Saturday morning. |
 |
| This plate gave us a heck of a time, but wood is resilient. |
 |
| Bill surveys the work from above. |

Mighty like ants.
From L-R: Ken, Bill, Ian, Dave, Windy, Lillie, Monique, and myself (on the ladder).
Not shown: Claire and Dave 2. |

Bill and Ian pause for a moment with the flooring on the first floor almost done.
Everyone was sort of on auto-pilot at this point, and pretty well beat. |
 |
| Dinner! Toss an old door over the work bench and throw out a Burgers and Dogs spread. |
 |
| The light at the end of the day was very Hudson River School. Very appropriate way to end things. |
 |
| We all agreed that the only way to make this more Instagram worthy was to add white Christmas lights. |
It was a great time, and truly inspiring what can happen when you get a group of like-mided people all pointed and pulling in the same direction.
