Today was a great day!  We did some basic mathematics to calculate how many studs we needed for our walls (wood, not people).  We also took a crash course on the different wood dimensions we are going to be using, ranging from 2x4x8 to 2x4x12 to 2x4x16 boards (if you have any; we will happily take any in the coming weeks).

Afterward, we started to take inventory of what we already have so we know what we need to purchase (no field trip to the store this year to get everything).  It really was a team effort to move something like 40 boards in 15 minutes (and aside from a few slivers; no injuries).

my view from above as I handed out boards to be measured, checked for warping, and put into our storage room.

putting all boards into our organizational pile so we can tackle it tomorrow morning.
