Day 12: Along came the rain...

Hoo boy.  This was a damp day.  A damp, damp day.  In case you were wondering what it was like to be an extra in Paul Gross' Passchendaele, here is a picture of my garage.

There.  Now you can skip 3 terrible hours of pointless movie.

Despite the weather, we pressed ahead like intrepid heroes.  Although our super powers are things like "can pass plywood incredibly effectively".  Up until this point, you may be thinking to yourself that this whole house-building racket hasn't had a whole lotta "building", per se.  Well, that's all about to change.  After the electrical and gas hookups were installed,  It was time for framing.

Be really careful when you walk into our house, because I put some of this together.

Before we got washed out like Noah, we did manage to build up the landings on both sides of the semi, and get them covered.  In case you were wondering what that large, crazy looking apparatus is for, I can tell you it is a sort of rapid-fire screw gun.

If it's good enough for Rambo, who am I to judge?

Once that was done, we began the plywood process for the flooring.  It was at that point the heavens opened up and decided that there would be no more work today.  So, we've got floor for part of the kitchen, a little bathroom, and some bedroom.

This picture may be a little blurry.  I was a little distracted by not falling to my death.

It's calling for yet more rain tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

Later Days

Alex and Linzi.

PS. Just for you, Dad.  We used a large hammer drill and that crazy screw gun.  Also, we put some shims under the plywood to make sure things were level.
