The current, and hopefully last version of the floor plans.

The well and septic trenches were filled in last week, so after a few days of wet weather, I got back to construction. The rim joists were put into place and when diagonal measurement were taken, they were within a few millimeters. The floor is still square.🎉

Centering and screwing in place of the floor joists to the beams is underway.

It’s been cold and wet lately. Yesterday I braved the black flies to finish building, levelling and aligning the floor beams. It may have been the first time I put the pythagorean theorem to use making the corners square.

The floor joists are next, though it’s currently raining with no break in the forecast until Tuesday.

The late morning was spend setting up the generator, then construction began. One beam constructed and levelled!

It was first hot day of the season. 27° by mid-afternoon, and the black flies I missed when I moved here a year ago, were reintroducing themselves. 😉
