Since the last post we have continued to press forward with building the walls. When we reached the ninth course last weekend it was time to put in the girder. This will be used to hold up the second floor. Because of this, it’s pretty important that it is put in right. We used an log that was approximately eight feet long to support it. This log is called the girder support log (gsl). The girder itself, in our case, is approximately 32 feet long. It slid into place just as it grew dark last Sunday. Now that it is in place we can continue on placing the wall logs.

I don’t have any pictures yet of the girder. In the meantime, here are a couple of new pictures.

The weather has been very cooperative lately. It’s looking like this weekend is going to be nice as well. Time to start on the 10th course!!
