Drag home some boards, 2x4s, posts and Lam-beams. Nail them together until they look like the pictures.

Feels like I'm leaving something out........Oh yeah, there's the part where Jinx, wearing her sexiest outfit, has a chat with the local officials about little matters like permits and inspections.
Don't forget site preparation...footings?...slab?..water?...power?...access?

Wait a minute.....uh huh.....uh huh....spell it....uh huh.....thanks.
OK, I called a buddy in Blue Ball, he said Better Built is a good outfit but to check the local Penny Saver and shopping papers for any number of Mennonite carpenters/builders. They'll do a good job and you won't get pregnant.

personally, i'd love to build it myself. jinx, however will not entertain that. she's all 'realistic' about it. it would take me 3 months of wednesdays and sundays, and it would probably be crooked when i got done.

the foundation/floor is actually one of the things i have questions about. post or slab? permits wont be a problem in elverson. the borough manager is thrilled to be consulted at all, so he should be amenable.
