Build Day 7...ish?

The day started, of course, with beating the short section of wall that we had completed apart, moving every stud 3/4ths of an inch, and re-nailing it. That went surprisingly quickly. After that, we moved on to the other side of the south wall, and raised it; finally we filled in the middle of that wall. As dusk approached, we had the south wall mostly finished. We're still waiting on the header hangers to arrive by special order, so the headers are only temporarily nailed for now, but other than that, the framing for that wall is done.

During the day, we met with a local amateur filmmaker, who is interested in doing a short piece on our build. I'll post here if he doesn't mind once there's some completed work to share. Super exciting to have someone actually be interested in our project, though I fear I'm not great on camera :)


Nails come out all the way on the studs that needed to be moved, but also had to come mostly out of the correctly positioned ones.

Me hammering a cripple stud back into position.

The first section repaired, lifted into position, and braced.

Framing the second half.

Overall shot of the end-of-the-day progress.

  1. Nonsense, your interviewee skills are top-notch! You guys made great progress. Can't wait to see the other walls go up.
