It was a chilly, rainy start to the day so Jim spent time catching up on some project management work at his desk.  He's finishing up designing the siding pieces he will need for the pole barn so he can get a quote for that material.  He also placed an order with Lowe's for our man door.

In the afternoon, he went to Curtis Lumber to get the wood to make the sleeper header over the garage door.  Once he got back, it had stopped drizzling so he decided to work outside.

Since he had already notched the sections for the sleeper header in the post, he was able to cut it and fit it in.  You can see how perfectly it fits within the post.

Jim wanted to put some blocking pieces in between the outside and sleeper headers to add stability and enable him to connect all of the header pieces together.

Next he put the last header piece on the inside - you can see how everything fits together...

Jim wants to put a few more blocking pieces in between the headers on the back wall also, but the majority of the framing is about done for this section of the pole barn!
