13 >> 8/9/11

Today was perhaps the slowest and quietly frustrating of the last week. Ty and I were tasked with assembling the shelving. We had to start by sanding the boards which slowed everything down. Some of the boards needed slight trimming to fit snuggly.

We started on the north side under the loft. We hit a snag when we moved away from the loft and found the second shelf to be wobbly. Chris Aldrich, Nick, and Johnny managed to solve the problem but they had the cut through the floor in order to re-block it.

When we started on the south, we realized that two boards were missing. I cut some pieces and then drove to Willy’s shop to join them. The biscuiting was fine, but I think the traffic doubled the length of the trip. I got back and we started on the south next to the loft. We finished that but called it a day after putting up the next post. The rest of the crew finished siding the west side – it looks fantastic!
