Milestone! While the floor is not completely done (I ran out of insulation), what was left has been covered and the project has gone vertical.
Today, the temperature had dropped a bit after yesterday’s rain, so it was comfortable enough to work through the afternoon.

Floor insulation and sub-floor is 2/3 complete. It’s rather awesome to have some firm footing to work from.
In typical construction, cellulose fibre is blown in, but I’ve been using a rake and a 3 sided plywood box to break up the compressed bundles.
Windows and doors arrived on site late last week.
The sunny, hot, calm weather has been a boon in that I’m not concerned with keeping the insulation dry. The downside is that I can’t work in the afternoon. When I stopped today at 13:00, it was 33° in the shade. As I write this, it is 38° in the shade.
Access to crown land is currently restricted, there is a burn ban and there are a few wildfires in Atlantic Canada.
