Did you see the film "Witness" in which the Amish put up a barn by making the frames on the ground and pulling them upright?

9.30am temporary building at Steamboat Museum laying on ground

9.53am

Half of it up.
It would have been up yesterday (they started on Monday) but even a French company employing Swiss and Swedish builders couldn't miss the opportunity for an "MFI Moment"
Some brackets for the apex were missing and a wagon drove through the night from France to drop them off at 8.00am this morning.

The whole building will be finished by Saturday.

Clearly the Varnish pictures are photoshoped. If you look closley the Tacky picture in fact is completley dry.

[/ QUOTE ] That's funny. The stuck-on insect count hasn't changed at all between the wet and the dry. Wish I could afford a climate controlled tent.
