Beginning Construction
   
Since we had no power available at the site, we built the structure in my driveway at home. Since we had a good assortment of tools there, we had the luxury of experimenting and getting things to fit right. We framed the four walls and bolted them together, much like panelized construction. We then unbolted the whole thing, loaded it into a trailer and hauled it up to the site. By this time it was much colder and the snow was starting to fall so we were happy that most of the detail work was already completed. The memory of building a simple picnic table with nothing available but a hand saw and screw driver during the warm summer was still fresh in our minds! This time, everything went together using only a battery operated drill and a hammer.
