We’re Building in the Rain

We’ve made a lot of progress on the house addition the last two work days (Saturday and Monday) despite several interruptions yesterday by heavy downpours. Most of our time here has been dry, but not the last two days. But now, most of our work will be inside the house. The metal roof is in place, though not securely attached, and most of the sides are up (we enclosed it entirely last night as the interior of the house would have been exposed).

The flooring is going in on top of the joists, one piece of hard wood at a time. Meanwhile, the ceiling noggins are almost in place, to be followed by the Masonite ceiling boards. Bruce’s office room walls and ceiling all went up yesterday. It’s coming together quickly, but we’re also running short on time here. We’re praying for efficiency in our work – and good weather for the remainder of it.
