Week 8, Day 1

Week 8, Day 1:

  • The first frost of the year, following a cold and windy weekend. The weather is forecast to get warmer (with some more rain, of course) and to stay that way for a couple of weeks which could be worse for building the walls, whereas frost would be more of a problem.
  • More deliveries:
    • The two missing concrete floor beams arrived first thing in the morning
    • Yet another delivery of concrete blocks arrived soon after
  • With the missing floor beams in place the remaining flooring blocks could be installed, so now the ground floor is completely finished.
