Report for the week ending May 9th, 2004
This week I almost finished the sub-floor. See the spin-off thread entitled "Question re insulating the floor in my workshop". I reported details and challenges re the floor structure and construction techniques there earlier in the week (with pictures).
I did not quite get the floor done because of a light rain all day Saturday and a 7 hour break in the middle of the day Sunday for Mother's Day festivities.
I took the attached pictures early this morning and it shows just how far I did get. One is the "normal" picture taken from the roof of the house and the other is a new perspective -taken from the back door of the house.
I should easily finish the job this morning -it's overcast but no rain is predicted.
That's just as well, because tomorrow morning I am leaving for almost two weeks. A boyhood friend (Terry West) and I are meeting in Ottawa (where I will drop off another load of stuff that we have been storing in our basement at our daughter's new house) and then driving to Lake Pivabiska north of Hearst Ontario. Altogether this is a 1400 kilometre one way trip. We both have cabins on the lake and are going to help each other with several maintenance and upgrading tasks. I am attaching photo of my cabin (on the island which has been in our family for over 80 years).
Also Terry, a recently retired teacher, has written a novel and is launching it in Hearst. I wish the book success but am a little leary because the surname of the "bad guy" in the novel is Pellow.
There will be no progress on the workshop for the next two weeks so there will be no updates either. Also, I am very unlikely to email access while away so you won't be hearing from me about anything for a while.

Report for 6 days ending 12th June, 2004
I finally got back to the construction of my workshop (for four and a half days). I had hoped get all the walls framed during that time, but am only about 80% complete. I am quite sure that I could have finished the task with a long day tomorrow, but that is not to be.

I am attaching two photos that that show most of the wall framing and another one where my freind Emerus and I are putting the 18' ridge beam in place.
