You got it....6:45 am hotspot, 7 am Coco Lobo and 7:45 am on the truck. No van today...and going forward.
Yesterday was a nice, pleasant day to build and this morning started out to be a good one as well.
Four walls up on day one, so what's up for today? Interior walls, work on the roof (ridge beams and rafters). This meant more cutting....
Our work site was greeted by a dog's present for us. Tracy and Tharika helped take care of that. I guess the dog liked the fact that there was a large, enclosed private space!
The first wall to go up was the interior gable wall (look up what a gable wall is). Other interior walls are almost all all with vertical 2x4 studs (90 inches high), so that meant cutting about a MILLION of them.
See the picture to the left for what I mean.
Thank god for the lunch break, which meant we could stop cutting!
Today it was pastalitos (something like an empanada or a samosa; even better samsa). Mark forgot to bring the hot sauce today as well (0/2).
Back to cutting after lunch!
Time to move on to the roof - I mean cutting the rafters. After the rafters was cut, we laid them out for Mark and Tanya to mark them before moving them to the roof. The framing team worked hard on putting up the paneling, and as we neared the end of day two, we were almost done with all interior walls and the ridge beam was up!
Thankful for another dry day (and a pleasant one for building). Time to move the lumber inside, pack up the tools and leave for the West End.
