Thank you! It certainly is a lot of sticks. I fact, I ran out of 2 X 6s and ended up using up as many scraps as I could find. I got the inner front wall completed today. Still have to add the floor joist ledges. Speaking of joists, I don't have any of the 9 footers left either. I'm going to laminate some stuff to give me something that will work. I don't want to order more wood since it's an $11 minimum shipping charge. If I get an order to build another one, I'll better know what is excess and what I ran out of.

I got the 2nd level completed and tried it out next to the structure. The floor heights line up nicely. I really worked that. The 2nd detail picture shows the upper level sheetrock, but it's not glued in yet. The picture of the trial fit shows that wall glued in place. I cut the sheetrock in a single piece for the upper level, unlike the pieced job on the first layer. In the first image I still needed to put the header over the door and the filler pieces on the elevator door header.

In this image you can see that all the wood is in place.

You can sort of see how nicely the existing floors line up with some of the front wall aspects. That lumber sticking out of the sheetrock is the ledge for the stairway landing joists.

Work will stop for this week. We're heading to Chicago tomorrow to pick up #2 grandson from sleep away camp. I'll be back in the shop on next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Y'all have a great weekend.
