Ordered more wood today for framing, window, door lintels and deck bearers = $1200

Had to wait a little for council inspection, passed easily, flooring all done, Ferdy was a champ, I'm stuffed and being a PC based office worker is taking its toll. But all done. Wall framing to start tomorrow. Shot about 1000 nail on the floor, thank god for the framing gun. Having a beer or 3 before getting back to work.

Need to clear up, pull down some rear roofing crap, divert downpipe to grass ( not floor)

Thanks fella's for the kind remarks, need as much encouragement as possible as really pushing my own fitness boundaries and Ferdy doesn't let up, which is a good thing. My past 15 years in a office hasn't helped.

Today finished the deck subfloor

All frames finished today, steel beam arrived today, called my Bushrangie mate and we prepped the beam tonight along with splicing it and making a engineered post. Have all my roof timbers arriving 7am tomorrow and will also install beam tomorrow and hopefully start some roof framing.

Excellent progress, Steve. You certainly tackle everything that comes across you. :clap: :clap: :clap:

How are you raising the steel beam into position?

Looks like things are moving now......structures go fast but get ready for for a different complex pace after that.....it seems to slow down a bit.
