NOTE
The day before construction of the building, complete the sub-
assemblies so they will be ready. EXAMPLE: Truss, floor
frames, roof beams, gables, side and overhead doors. Set the
assemblies aside, so they will not get damaged.
The remainder of the building assembly requires more than
1 work session and more than 1 person. Do not continue
beyond this point if you do not have enough time to complete
the wall assembly and can tie down the assembly overnight.
Complete the roof and doors on the following day.
