Another Shed, Another Style

Last week was spent outdoors with a toolbelt on in a women-only carpentry class. We rocked through building a shed in a week and still had time for mojitos and to talk about Liz's job waxing male parts. The week, was fantastic. I now know that floor joints are spaced 16 on center, know that the jack stud is next to the king stud, and why nails are labeled in pennies. By the end I was also pretty confident with my chop saw and circular saw skills especially after my super straight plunge cut.
Here we visited the non-OSHA certified mill in downtown Waitsfield. Certainly could be a setting for a horror movie...we're still not sure how the place is still standing.





The women in the class were awesome! Sam, Jen, Emily and Emily, Kate, Liz and Liz, and Lisa. Thanks Lizabeth Moniz and Patti Garbeck, sassy instructors!
