Rain, more shopping

It's been raining on and off for the last several days. Seems a bit wet for July.
Today we made another trip to town for materials. Lots of talking to lumber-yard personnel, store owners, clerks and so forth. Eventually we got it all loaded and back to the site.

At this point we have everything to get the building dried in. Budget-wise we're at about $5900, and we have foundation, floor, frame, siding, roof, and top-bottom insulation. Yet to come: doors & windows, interior finish, counters and cabinets, appliances and furnishings. We're unlikely to make our original $10K budget, but we might hit the recently revised $12K number.
When we got back on site it started raining again so we set up in the barn and cut pieces for walls for tomorrow. Snoozer decided to take a nap beneath the saw table as he's happiest underfoot.
