Both foundations are completed and slat floors installed.  Carpenters began putting up the sidewalls and roof last Wednesday.  The wet spring and summer caused many delays and a great deal of additonal dirt work.  For example, the concrete pumping truck had difficulties getting in position along with the cement trucks.  A 6 young man Amish crew travels from Macomb, IL to frame the building.  We were required to lay 4 inch tile covered with rock on the north, south and east end of both buildings with an independent inspection port for both buildings.  We will connect the two tiles  and drain into a nearby  drain tile.
