The day before construction of the building, complete the sub-
assemblies so they will be ready. EXAMPLE: Truss, floor
frames, roof beams, gables, side and overhead doors. Set the
assemblies aside, so they will not get damaged.
The remainder of the building assembly requires more than
1 work session and more than 1 person. Do not continue
beyond this point if you do not have enough time to complete
the wall assembly and can tie down the assembly overnight.
