SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER & EARLY NOVEMBER
While Vangie kept doing all the usual things--meals, cleaning, laundry, and "grubbing," Frank began working on John and Tonya's barn. He added electricity and lighting.
He built storage for all the wood we had left over from building the house, as well as the lumber he made with his "portable mill."
Next he began to work on the last bay in John & Tonya's garage--the bay designated to become a wood shop. He partitioned it off from the rest of the garage. He added more lights and outlets. Then he insulated it; plus he began to put up dry wall.
John and Frank built a lean-to on the side of the barn and the end of the garage.
John and Tonya decided they wanted him to finish their garage. After they moved their belongings to the near side of the garage, Frank began by adding lights, outlets, insulation, and dry wall to the far side.
Next came the taping and two coats of paint. At this point, one day as Tonya drove into the garage, Jenna remarked, "Oh! It's so beautiful!" Here it is before the paint job.
