LABOR Day Weekend

Day 1: Unloading the wood. We'll skip Day 1a -which was re-loading the wood to avoid an over-hyped Irene that never really made it
Day 2: Laying out the frame. Not sure what is included in the 40 estimated hours of work in the handbook.

Day 3: Turns out the uncles would have chipped in towards the cost of assembly -instead of doing it themselves. Good to know for next time.

Day 4: The floor is in -but the neighbors are stressed about the amount of wood left. Dad hasn't seen the retired men on the street since he unloaded the boxes 3 weeks ago...

Day 5: Dad said the Death Star was never finished and they got 2 movies out of that...Claire and I tested out the ladder as Dad built the walls...
