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.
The first podcast of the radio show was posted last night at CHSR 97.9 FM.

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.

While looking into Monarch Butterflies, I learned that the big leafy plants on the property are common milkweed, important for their survival.
