Month: May 2015

No work today, lazy rainy Sunday. I did check on the house to make sure the tarp was keeping the water away which it did.

4 down 18 to go

Of course I’m missing lumber for the last step 🙂

Fixing the 22.5° problem, one trial at a time.

Unfortunately I forgot to snap a pic of the resulting trusses, tomorrow.

I raised the platform a bit to prevent conflict with the door, add storage, and because I think I can fit a little desk under the bottom stairs.

After a heavy storm, we upgraded the 2nd floor tarp

Sun-burnt, bug bitten, wind eroded, eye wood dusted and barely any progress. I’m taking a break tomorrow.

Today saw an amazing push with help from Peter, Matt, Rich & Kevin. This was quite a crew and 3 daunting tasks were taken care of fast & well. Nicole & I are ever so grateful for the help we received today; it was a lot of work, a lot of support and it puts us right in front of being able to raise the frame of the second floor. There is nothing like seeing walls go up to strengthen building will.

Sweet blocking!

There’s a party on the 2nd floor

The OSB isn’t attached to the 2nd subfloor yet but it’ll help prevent the tarp from sagging. It almost looks like a shelter!
