Sunday: the day of rest…oh wait

Although today was a short work day, a great deal of progress was accomplished. The morning started out with groups framing the North wall, framing the roof pitches, and mounting the top plates on top of the headers. Mike, Andrew, Johnny and myself measured, cut, and assembled the roof pitches for the South side. Everyone else seemed to being working hard and effectively in their groups. Maybe the mentioning of a post pool party at Paul’s after work was enough incentive for a productive days work. All alliterations aside, everyone was in a positive mood and willing to work.

Later in the afternoon, everyone collectively helped lift up the North and East walls and put them in to place. Every screw remaining was drilled in place, and the Passive House now as four standing wall frames.

Unfortunately, I could not make the after party for the pile of dirty clothes needs washing, and the weekend late nights have caught up to me.
