Today I framed a few walls but have run out of half inch plywood. Before they go up they need to be sheeted with plywood. That will happen next week. The view from here is beautiful. I snapped a shot of the Osprey this morning. The young couple keep adding branches to their nest.

Marina – Finishing the First Floor
The last few days I’ve been finishing up the first level. All the blocking is done along with cutting the stair runners and fitting one side with 2×4 temporary treads. The second level has been decked with 3/4″ T&G plywood so now I move up stairs and begin building walls.
Marina – Joist for 2nd Floor
Today my good friend Craig and I measured off the layout, cut and installed all the floor joist for the second floor. Tomorrow I plane to deck it with sheets of 3/4″ T&G plywood decking.
