I built my temporary shelter today!

The long scaffolding braces in the foreground are only there to make sure the scaffolding stays up. The ridge and the A-frame legs are H sections made from 16' strapping screwed together, and the eaves are T sections. They are light and relatively strong. The whole shelter was under $100. I need to get stakes to hold the legs of the A-frame down in a wind.

Welcome to my blue world! My 20'x30' tarp is only just big enough...

It would have been a perfect day for gluing today -- it was up in the low 70's, but it was threatening to spit much of the day, so I put up the shelter so I can glue anytime it is above freezing long enough for the glue to dry.
