I agree on the sleep thing, my wife likes to talk all night long. Makes me very tired the next day. Thank goodness for mountain dew and adrenaline rushes from doing everything last min! I'm seriously worn out lately. I managed to get out to the garage for an hour today. I'm going to post up pics, but I have to charge my camera first. THere should be three or so pics for all you pic junkies! I know my other threads seem packed full of pics compared to this one, but everytime I jump on here there's like 10-20 new posts lol. That means there usually ends up being 5-10 pages between pics. Even if it was everyday that I posted pics there would be pics every 2-3 pages! I wish I could do more, but I can say that when I start my new job tomorrow I'll be working extra long hours and you guys will have to wait a few days before any progress is made! Hopefully my days off will be while the wife is at work so that I can do full 8 hour shifts on this thing on my days off lol. Oh and I broke another bit today! woohoo! That means I have to go buy another one before I can start again.

Ok here's the pics. I put up the last of the top railing, and have put up the back piece of ply on the right top side. It's not screwed yet as I still have to make sure everything is aligned properly, and I need a new drill bit, but it's there to give a good idea of what it will look like!

IMO phillips head bits are good for between 400-800 screws and I've went through about 7 so far.
