A good friend of mine is a builder and was the mastermind of the project; we brought out 5000+ bf of rough cut lumber by hand, in a 24' pontoon boat. The Roof trusses were raised by hand. The only part that was not manual labor were the 15 pre-cast footings, which were put in with an excavator while our septic system was being installed.
Last summer I had an electrician come out to the island to wire the building, hang overhead lights, and move the electrical service to better support the main house and the workshop.
This year I'll be adding the windows and probably wrapping and doing a final siding layer of rough cut pine; but boat building will be the priority though, it's just that time!
This is our island pick-up truck; she has been used by at least 4 other islanders to build or renovate camps. I've had close to 3000 lbs on her!
We built a 26 x 40 deck first; then started putting up the framing. We used a lot of rough green lumber for this project; most of it came off my bandsaw mill, a Woodmizer LT40H.
Making good progress on the framing and roof trusses, in no particular order:
Interior, don't mind the mess it's a construction project at this point:
Exterior, work in progress, no windows yet but they are framed in:
