Ok , I got the front done and partially attached , I need to get it in position and braced in order to hold up the roof as I attack the sides . Which as You can see are almost worse off than the front .
I finally found good wood right behind the propane tanks .
Big thanks to my oldest brother , he is a master woodworker and has the ultimate wood shop in his garage , we built all three front end panels in about four hours .
More to come ,

CAUTION , NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART !!!!
Ok , so I have the drivers side stripped back to solid wood , I have a plan and my brother s wife says I can come over to his shop and play tomorrow .
So , as You can see this side was shot but I should be able to get it rebuilt tomorrow and get it buttoned back up by the end of the weekend .
I reluctantly cut the siding back about a foot behind where I`m going to seem the structure , I didn`t want to but the siding is glued on and there was no real way to peel it back and still work on the wall , so I guess I`ll have to come up with a goood way to seal the vertical seam I created , not to worry , that`s the least of my worries .
More to come Sunday .
