day . 75


today was a pretty simple day caroline and i started by installing the doors that we made yesterday. robert claimed that hanging doors was number 3 on the list of hardest things to do besides stairs and a counterslope but it was not as difficult as one would imagine. we came to the conclusion that this was because the doors are only temporary. it was hard to get the hinges on right. about half that we attached we attached backwards so the door would therefore not swing. ha so we had to take them off and do them again. it was comical. after all the hinges were finally attached we attached the doors to the jamb. after the first one caroline and i had a good system of how to get them in. we did however have to go behind some others and trim the plywood that was hanging in some places a inch over the jamb. we were not happy about that but it as easily fixable. after all the doors were in we moved to drilling holes through the door into the jamb for #5 rebar to secure the doors closed from the inside. we tried to get all the holes drilled but everytime we started the drill battery would die in like 5 mins. we went through all the batteries and none worked. so we gave up. i then moved up onto the main roof to help put down waterproofing. that was the last task of the day so we wanted to get it done quickly to go home. once lauren k blew all the debris we started laying it down. it went pretty quickly because we had about 4 or 5 people working on it. we got done for the day around 2 which was super nice.
