    Jane wanted a in ground pool and a Cabana/bar area. So I came up with this design. Then in the winter it will become a great place for 2-3 cords just out side the back door. What do you guys think.

    Started it on Thursday hope to shingle it by the end of this week.

    Looks good! The zip board looks good, love that stuff....saves wrapping the building. What kind of roof are you putting on it? And what sidewall shingles you going with? Whites or reds? I can see the stacks fitting in there just fine come this October. Very nice!

    Needs a little conveyor from the bar to the pool to deliver drinks.
    See how helpful we are?

    A floating firepit in the pool would be sweet. Keeps skeeters away and cook some smores. Nice job on the shed.

    Thanks been at it for 30+ years now. Don't do much building anymore just selling. This has been real fun to design and put together. My best customer/friend came over Thursday and brought one of his employees to help get the frame up and the roof truss on and the plywood on.

    They would only take a pizza and beer for lunch no pay. I have been getting the trim all on yesterday and to day. Felt good to swing a hammer a bit.

    Great idea to have it close to the pool so you can water the wood down to keep it from drying out!:D

    Going to match the house and barn roof shingles. The sidewalls will be Maibec pre stained white cedars Cape Cod Gray thinking of doing the inside walls with the Maibecs also. Jane bought a Really $$$$ nice wicker set for the summer. In the fall I will move that in the house and put down a 14' pallet to stack the wood on.
