I’m trying to wrap up the decking and cap the building over before it gets really cold – the change in weather from the start of the month has been severe and I really don’t want to be putting on a roof with the winds that are starting up.

The first floor walls are up - 2005-09-19
I bought a wall package from Hammond Lumber – I regretted it afterwords but they did go up fast. My dad and a couple friends (thanks Eric) came up and helped with the walls. It was a bit of a job as they were not light but with 4 guys, we managed.

The first floor decking is complete. No time to sit back – the walls are coming in next and there is a nip in the air.

My dad came up to help get the first floor decking down before the weather turns. It’s a lot of up and down the ladders and over the planks but we’re making progress.
