4 walls and a roof


Yeap...4 plastic walls and a roof...built so the concrete can be poured. I think it completely fits...we have a "big top" for the circus that I live in.


This is the view this morning after we got it standing again.


We got a call at 6 AM from the contractor saying that it was snowing pretty hard and we should try and get it off the tent before it gets too heavy and collapses. When we checked it was TOO LATE! The center had already collapsed. Ryan and I worked from 6 to 7 to get all the snow off and rebrace the center. Ryan climbed underneath and slide the snow to the sides and I scooped it off. We then braced it underneath to hopefully keep it from happening again. They are supposed to pour concrete today and start framing Thurs. The joys of trying to build during an Alaskan winter. We will see who will win...the Alaska weather or our contractor. Please cheer for our contractor! We need all the help we can get!!

Oy, it was a terrible day, too much snow, too early in the season. At least it's all ready to go, did it get poured as it should have? Hope it dries quickly for you and things take off from there!

I know it's not funny, but I was giggling picturing it! I keep thinking about how Tyler would be freaking out trying to build with all the snow you're getting! Hope things go well! Thanks for the updates! ;)
