Build Day 8

This time we did not finish a full wall. You might think I would be disappointed in working a whole day and not even having one wall to show for it, but:
  1. The wall was too high for any of our ladders to safely reach its top plate, so we'll try and purchase a more suitable ladder first.
  2. I didn't actually set a goal to get it done. I'm not a fan of goals, actually (I may write more about how that fits in with a project like this later).
  3. Being the largest wall with the most complexity in headers and other variances, it's likely the most difficult.

First section of north wall raised and braced!



We had plenty of helpers show up today: setting a new lifting world record, while being shot by dual clamp guns. All our helpers did real work too, and we very much appreciate their help!



End of the day. North wall is maybe 2/3 done; the big hole in the middle needs to be filled in.
