day . 05

today was great! even though it was a monday, and i was feeling less than motivated when i arrived on site, it was a beautiful day and a lot was accomplished. caroline, megan, and i started right off helping adrian get the clubhouse all square and moved into the right place on the 6x6 supports. it took a little tweaking but alas it was square. after that our work group moved to measuring and cutting the boards for the floor. we got to put on our math hats to deduce how many would be needed to span the floor. i realized how long it had been since i had needed to use any real math for a real purpose. it was sad. i had to use the calculator on my phone. but we figured it out, we needed 10 full ones and robert had to rip a final one. after they were all cut i watched and did some latter holding while robert and adrian climbed on top of the structure to place the 16' 2x12's on the sides. it was quite intense. once they were down off the roof, we had to square the buidling again so we could cut the 1x4 strapping to go under the floor joists. once they were cut i attempted to roll under the floor to attach them, but the gravel footings were too tall and my drill too large, so that will have to wait for another day. we were finally able to attach all of the floor boards which went pretty quickly with 3 drills. it turned out fairly well and i think that everyone was pleased. i know that i was. the final task of the day was to lift the back wall into place that cody, josh, and candice worked on. the clubho[us]e is coming together!

ICF's come tomorrow....and 100% chance of rain! ahhhhh.
