I'll join Jim in congratulating you on getting it done in a week. I realize that is basic framing with probably no insulation or interior wall but.. that is still a chore to do the frames.. tresses.. hang doors and windows in a week by yourself. And then add a porch rail and floor. Nice and very timely as you apparently didn't waste any! ;)

Looks like a ton of work to me for a week...
To me it's more like a little cabin than a storage building.
Great job David.

Very impressive work David! I love building stuff like that but know I would not have gotten it done in a week! Very nice work! Your wife will love it!

Probably a wise idea to add the insulation down in Pensacola, Dave. I lived in Tampa for 6 years after I got home from VN and walking into an outer storage shed in summer was shall we say... "breath-taking". ;)
Even with 10 hour days.. if you include the foundation which I assume it sits on concrete blocks considering your sandy soil... a week is pushing it and it is a tell it's not the first time you have taken on a construction project of this nature. Just a guess? And my first thoughts before reading were as Gary's.... looks like a cabin and I love cabins.
