The beginning of the project. The building is 10 feet by 10 feet. The walls are studded with 2X4's and the corners are 4X4's. Fairly simple.	The flooring is a rock base with old brick covering.
The walls are exterior paneling treated with water sealant. There are no interior panels.	Shown here is the roof in the uncovered position. It rests on a steal rail with grooved wheels attached to the roof.
The roof in the covered position. It is lowered and raised with a winch operated from inside.	I use this hand crank to raise and lower the roof.
