A Hermit's Hut-building material trip

Tomorrow another trip to the Gorge laden with Home Depot Lumber and Wal-mart Tools.  Much to be trolleyed to the bottom including 500 lbs of cement pier blocks.  

Have conscripted JD and Bea into service.  Both have mixed feelings about coming.  I understand.  Despite my efforts to reduce the amount of toil that goes with the property, there is still much work to be done.  It is my vision to build a shed/kayak/sleeping structure that we can sleep in when we are there and use as a secure lockup for our belongings when we are not.
Looking at 8 x 15 which is within the county's non-permit required structure size.  I am building on removeable concrete blocks because all is ephemeral.  There is a remote risk of flood so I will design a high water platform escape place.

We will discuss stairs later.  Right now we need a shelter wall so we don't have to contend with the SW wind and snapping tarp sounds.
