We woke up to another cool morning … after an amazing night of sleep ( I guess that’s what a day of hard work will get you…lol ). Our morning routine is getting a little easier, and we were off to the job site at 7:30am.
After an inspiring devotional from a local pastor, we talked about our goals for the day. As we said often at our last build – ‘same as yesterday, but a bit different’. The interior wall team returned to the campsite pavilion to finish up the assembly of the interior walls. Our floor team got right back to work installing the sub-floor.
Joe and I got right to work putting glue on the floor beams, but ran out of glue after about the first hour. Fortunately there is a local hardware store close by, so we were quickly back in business. The really good news was that this glue was soooo much easier to dispense, so Joe was able to do most of the remaining gluing by himself.
We continued to have challenges with leveling out the floor beams. It was crazy how much variation there was along different points of the floor joists. I jumped in to helping with the leveling, and figuring out which beams needed to be higher, and which needed to be lowered. Joe helped with using a battery operated planer to lower some beams, while I helped with installing nailers to the beam to raise them.
After the initial placement of the OSB sheet, it needed to be aligned with the adjacent sheets. The sledgehammer seems to get it done :-).
When we got to the end of the row, Joe used a circular saw to cut it to size.
As we got to the last couple of sheets, I was able to jump in and help with some of the nailing.
Yeah! We were able to complete the floor decking before lunch! We now have a dance floor :-).
It’s not just work … we have a good time working together. Here’s a picture of some of the ladies on the job.
… and relaxing after work at happy hour under the gazebo.
