Today was a good day for the most part, the begging of the day was great all the way through lunch. However my concerns started adding up when I saw the loft going up. I was quite worried about the connection of the southern corner after I was told we were just screwing a 2×8 into a post for a loading bearing corner. Needless to say I had to walk away from the interior and go talk with the shading crew. The day ended well though after the crew resolved the connection problem and all was well.

Today started with some coffee, I could still feel exactly where the harness sat on my back as if I was still wearing it. We started in various sides of the house while others sheathed the interior and exterior. Chris is a wall building champ and took control of the interior walls while Paul and Mike trouble shot the shading structure, two creative minds, I’m glad they got to work on it today. After all the sheathing and cutting it was time to excavate the interior of all the scrap wood and various tools. The interior had finally been revealed for the first time excluding some walls and a stair structure but close enough my brain began to imagine with a better scale now. I never thought I would be sitting the outcome of so many models I imagined myself moving through. After a two trips to the lumber yard we had what we needed and the infamous beam was created. The harness hung staring back, I knew I had to get back in it. Andrew and I went skyward and with the help of some scissor lifts we were able to get the beam in place. It was a late day, I left at 9pm and began to cycle tomorrows tasks through my head on the ride home.

Today was a one of those days where a lot seemed to happen. The interior sheathing was complete by the first break. Dusty, Lyle and myself had a deadline of noon to have the exterior sheathing done on the East wall. We had to make a few interesting cuts but made our deadline with time to spare.
Later in the afternoon, Nick trained Lyle and I to use the scissor lift in order to apply sheathing Continue reading
