Spur Wing Shed House

At last some joists go up above the garage, but there is still work to do on the bottom floor. It is all going a bit slower than I expected... :(

After about a week the bottom floor framing begins to take shape. The wooden frames need to be bolted to the steel frame. The steel tubing is strong and thick. The first attempts took an hour to drill each hole by hand drill with standard drill bit, and there are dozens to do! Time is money... Paul and the builders put their heads together and got it down to 5 minutes using a "magnetic" drill press and step drills. Each evening I go to check up on progress, and take "orders" for various bits and pieces that the builders request. These I am able to source from the temple of the big red hammer, after making a suitable offering to the green aproned priests and priestesses that inhabit the sacred hall. This I do at around noon the next day, where with just a few donated gold coins, I am given my midday sustenance in the form of a pastry cloaked protein meal from the temple's refectory.

Yippee! The framing started this week. A bit slow and fiddly as my chippys work out how to build around the numerous steel lugs. I've taken some time off to crunch the numbers and help calculate the length of each member, which I quite like doing. My "cheat sheets" help keep the builders moving along with the tools.
