Labor Day

What better way to celebrate Labor Day than by... working!? Today we laid down a good amount of new floor joists. We were able the get the rear half of the middle section done. Looking at the pictures you may think that installing floor joists looks pretty easy. Well, believe me when I say that it's not! You have to be very watchful and do your best to make sure everything is level or you could end up with one sloped floor. Keeping everything level in a building built in the 1890's is a challenge all in itself.

Tomorrow we continue to lay more joists toward the side of the building. We'll get a late start though, because we have to go pick up some lumber.
