Day 63 - preparing for the frame raising

This morning we built a few small frames to finish all of the exterior and interior load bearing walls for the ground floor. We then spent the rest of the day preparing for the frame raising tomorrow.

We even had enough time to produce a cut list of joists, blocking and headers for the first floor structure and to cut most of them in the workshop, so that they would be ready in case we had enough time and people to get them into position after the frames go up.


Most of the joists are standard lengths (with many of them being full 4.8m lengths), but there are a number of unusual lengths, which were marked to help with identification.
