Jim, you lost me at green.
Their living quarters are built at one end, single story and part protrudes from the larger structure. Then they have lite workshops with storage above buffering from large barn area and heavier shop.
I wouldn't stress about the welding Irving. If you don't do it every day with different thickness and heat/speeds....you're not going to be great at it.
If your weld area is clean and you have enough heat and wire speed for your task, it will be strong enough. Welding is an art, and I wish I were better at it myself....I just don't do it often enough.
