The floor is done!

It is the middle of week 11.

Mark, Carol and I completed the deck yesterday, Wednesday, 20 June. 

We did all of our back checking for level and square and it is perfect!  Level within plus or minus 1/8" and square within 3/16" at 65'.

It took us about three days to complete the floor.  Mark and I put down the glue, set the plywood and took care of miscellaneous details and Carol put in 49 screws in each sheet of plywood, about 2,700 screws.  We used 18 quarts of glue.

We installed 10 wood foundation blocks within the floor framing, braced to the concrete floor/footings in the crawlspace to support the timberframe.

On Tuesday night Carol and I worked until about 8:00 pm, then set up chairs in what will be the engawa (veranda) and had cocktails.  It was chilly so we moved over to where the fireplace would be.

Next step is the timber frame.
