Last house walls up.

After the hectic organized chaos yesterday it was time to do some tweaking and small racking adjustments to all the beams and posts.  Luckily nothing too serious surfaced and we were able to tidy things up by early afternoon.  Placing the last north wall pieces, however, was a challenge.  We had to slip them up into place around the beam protrusions on that north face.  I am happy to see the last of the tall walls in place finally. Tomorrow we concentrate on the garage walls.  Looks like we will have to cut 1 1/2 inches off of the bottom due to our foundation being poured to match the house.  The whole thing will end up with less stairs to climb in our dotage. Going to have to do some temporary covering of the timber stuff that is still to go up over the west deck and front entrance.  Hopefully it will all go into the house for winter storage after the roof is on.

Isometric of the pieces, note the deck stuff and the entrance stuff.  The entrance isn't in the location shown.

It's pretty exiting to see the rooms taking shape, the roof will be our next big hurdle, stay tuned.
