I woke up early this morning and started putting walls up. It works alot better on the morning frost for getting around with the backhoe. 
I got three wall sections up and the forth one is ready for action in the morning. I still have to build two more smaller wall sections and put up after that forth one is up.
This is the south view from my living room. I was up on the ladder. It's going to get interesting when the rafters start going up, it is a long way up. Today was a pretty long day. Lots of phyiscal work and up and down and all around. I can see that if there were a crew of a few people, something like this could have been done in a couple hours, but it took me pretty much the whole day and I was going pretty steady. I should sleep like a baby tonight.
Hermit,
ReplyDeleteYOu are doing fantastic. It is taking shape! Working alone and building alone will take a big toll...dont ask me how i know. If I lived any closer, I'd gladly give you a hand. Its looking great. ~jen
Thanks Jen. I know how you know that. It is a lot slower building by yourself, but I don't mind. I just got that fourth wall section up and I'm on a well deserved coffee break.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Really puts it into perspective how big the place is! Great job Hermit, looks great.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Mark! Sure seems to be coming together fast to me, but I'm sitting on my couch enjoying your pictures while you're doing all of the work. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a nice sized home. Great view from your living room too. :)
Nice job!
Thanks Darby. It's not the biggest house, but it's plenty big enough for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. Ya know, if you're feeling guilty about sitting on the couch or anything, I do have an extra hammer. lol.
ReplyDeleteLookin' good! I'm thinkin' after you finish that… you can come to Indiana and build me a little house! lol
ReplyDeleteYa never know, anything's possible there Sprouting Acorn. But first I'm sure I am going to need a real good break. When (if) I get this one done.
