the perfect weekend.

Half of the floor joists are up! I don’t know if I am just getting better at this house building, tool slinging thing or this was just a beginner level job, but it went superfast and didn’t give me much hell.

Pneumatic nail gun, you are my BFF.

As you can see, I decided to go with untreated 2x8s. I think it should be fine.

Next weekend I will be finishing up the joists and working on putting some cross bracing in.

Morale is high, and I am AHEAD of schedule. #goshawty

 

And since I finished up early on Sunday afternoon, I got to enjoy a seven mile hike around Dow Lake at Strouds Run. Amos enjoyed it too; he even jumped in the lake with some dog friends we met on the trail! It was pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Ever.
 

I think I could sit here forever and never get bored.
