General tasks to do:

Build walls
Build/ buy windows
Painting
Roof framer: Cut rafters and ridge board, etc. Gussets and/or collarties and/or hurricane ties. Additional wood for this?
Furnature

Floor platforms, joists are all cut to size.
T&G Plywood cut, but it is low quality and has lots of little holes where knots have come out of it.
Attic floor has now been painted with 3 coats of urethane paint.
Main floor will be painted with urethane plus non-slip additive.
Styrofoam insulation for underneath lower floor has been cut to size.

Metal door has been bought and painted.
One window is ready to fly; two others nearly ready; other four are being done by Scott and Ross Nelson
Shear strength of end walls is a concern.
Wind load on the hut for high winds is unknown.
Shutters for windows on main floor - upstairs as well?
