Reply to "February Community Build: 3/14 Update"

One week deep and time to share your progress.  Looks like those on-board are off to a great start.  I transferred the design I chose to a drawing on grid paper.  This is one of my favorite parts of a build because of the opportunity to sharpen a few pencils and scratch some lead.  The grid paper is very helpful in that it makes the lines straight, corners square, and allows you to accurately gauge distances.  Once I had the blueprints up to par, using a pin I poked out all the corners of the building, doors, and windows.  When I pulled away the paper, all I had to do was connect the dots for a picture perfect transfer of the design.  All that was left was some careful x-acto cutting with a metal straight edge to guide me.

I've found that keeping the cutouts of the doors and windows proves helpful as templates for scratch building the windows and doors that will eventually be on the farm.  Since they are the original cuts from the template, using them ensures a snug fit.

Lets see the progress you've made this week on your version of the February Build
