We set up a tent and our coleman stove cooking unit and built a lean-to structure to cover the tools and generator. The first week we built the 30-foot platform.

The beginning of the second week, we reassembled the interior walls. Check the floor plan to see a layout of the rooms. There is a small loft above the bathroom and a large loft above the closets and bedroom. Next we stretched the lattice walls around and put up the door frames and doors. The beams for the roof fit into a center ring which supports the skylight. There are two steel tension cables threaded through the beams.
