Next up was the runners for underneath....we decided to go with two......so we can clear out the area around the drilled holes to keep it fairly clear.....

We decided on 4 corner holes.....which gives you roughly 6 1/2 feet apart for your baits....

We finished the front door panel as well......by the lights of Gordo's van....so no pics were taken of that.....
Still to do......door....roof....windows....and paint.....
We are going with a slanted roof to keep snow off.....
Eye-Level windows......
Painted Red and Black...Sens flag will be flyin!
I'll update this as progress continues.....

We did great today.....in about 6 hours we got the floor built and all the sides up....a nail gun is a god send!
No injuries and arguments either....
