I expected working with Johnny on the interior roof sheathing and furring strips, but Nick asked Ty and I to begin on the shelving structure. That project has changed quite a bit even since the two of us worked on it in late July; the posts are now sized at 6×6 (rather than 4×4), the alignment has moved, and we’ll be using joined 2x6s from Ty’s granary instead on 2x12s.

That last change will roughly triple the amount of work to be done. We’ll have to saw twice as many boards, bring them to a cabinet shop, join them, then bring them back before we can even start assembly. But even though it will be a huge undertaking, I think it will be worth it. It’ll cost us in terms of labor, but we won’t have to buy new 2x12s. The reclaimed lumber, on the other hand, has a great deal of character but has had no use thus far except as scrap.

I spent the day taking measurements inside the cabin and then cutting boards outside. We can take the boards to the cabinet shop on Monday to begin joining them. We worked a three-quarter day and then went to a BBQ at Tom DeAngelo’s house.
