Toby was hard at work while I was away this past week. Here’s the engineering feat he has been constructing:
here you can see the beginning of the joists that will hold up the second floor.
this is the view from the inside! The flooring will go on top of these joists, so the will be an exposed part of our first floor ceiling. Does that make sense?
this is looking down on the girders from the second floor, right above the main post.
Here is this weeks progress. All but two rafters are up on the first floor. Next, the floor joists for the second floor (which will come up from the smaller inner circle).
All the blue stuff is insulation that is a part of the living roof.
Here are the latest house pictures I’ve got. The first two are of the rafters that have been going up. The third is from our party this weekend when we had a center post raising! It weighed ~600 pounds, so we needed a bunch of hands! It’s so amazing to see this progress and to know that this will be our home and that so much friendship and love has gone into it!
