| Finn - always ready to help out |
Today we started installing the sill plate and the work turned over to us and our friends. Eric and Trevor (our former students at IAA) and Eric's friend, Pat from Big Bear along with Todd made up most of the work crew. Bonnie kicks in help between watching Finn and during nap time. Today was alittle nerve wracking because we needed to find the height of the main floor in order to get the proper height of the landing. This is the basis for the rest of the framing heights. Todd has been studying the drawings for a couple of weeks now but it is always unnerving taking that leap and cutting materials.
We had been waiting to price the full materials list but our crew is ready to work so we ordered the first few things (green treated and the first few pieces of 2x) from the hill in order to get started. This probably isn't the most cost effective thing to do but when you have labor ready in your yard, you don't want to waste it.
Bonnie's project today was scrubbing the rock. While this may seem silly, with allergy season in full bloom, the very thought of moss in the dining room makes her sneeze. So after a few go- arounds with the bleach water and wire brush, it looking much less fuzzy.
