the walls.

Started framing today. The mill has been cutting up a storm. So there now is lots of 2x4 and any other lumber I need. Not too many people get too frame there cabin in cedar. I can easily pack a couple boards down the trail. So it was easy getting started. Today I made 4 trips. My only problem is my cordless batteries don't last the whole morning. I am going to have to start sawing them by hand..(old school). I really want to frame the wall pieces for the fireplace and the stairs. If I get those done.. I can build the stairs which will make finishing the upstairs easier. Those walls don't need windows..so they are pretty straight forward. I did 2.5 sections today. The went pretty good. The beams that Eric and I put in place were better than I thought. I just build a 7x8 panel and pound it in. They lined up good. Adding those panels with all the plywood and screws really strengthen up the cabin. I will be glad when it is all together.

Liam is having fun on the coast. His games are beginning to have a coastal flavour. First he sits in a basket with wooden spoons and pretends to paddle his "boat". The next game he got in trouble for. It involved chasing kids around the gym with dad's fishing rod. Trying to catch them. Apperantly the girls didn't appreciate the real hook he was using. I think he has forgotten all about tractors and farming. But there is loaded logging trucks hauling past..so that adds to his excitement. Also there is a 6yrs old boy in town for the weekend. He is glad to have another friend.
