Floor Trusses

June 30, 2008

After a few more measurements
and some minor adjustments,
the last of the trusses
were nailed down today.
A wall needs to be built in the
south corner by the stairwell

and another for the cantilevered hexagon in the Northeast corner...
then subfloor can be laid.













After a week and a 1/2 of digging...
We hope to have running water
soon. :-)












Rained Out

June 29, 2008
We worked for a few hours in the rain on saturday,
before calling it quits for the day.

On Sunday, made up for lost time by setting, measuring and nailing the floor trusses.
