Tuesday and Wednesday 19-20 July 2011 How the floor appeared beneath our feet

Tuesday it rained again, showers really, and we were able to put the massive beams in place for the screened-in porch. These beams, 12 by 6, epitomize what I hope for this building: it will be a most unusual design, over-sized and ingenious, pioneering at its best. The MB finds his way around the various mistakes we've made with earlier phases of the construction. We even adjust the porch beams to make sure the building is square. Wednesday I spend a hot day in the sun screwing 2 inch screws into the OSB boarding which we used for making our wall and which I spent many hours cleaning them off. Excellent re-cycling. The sub-floor is nearly down and the MB decides to move some of the excess earth to open up the site. How will he be able to keep away from the project when we leave this Friday? We shall see...
