First Internal Wall

Today the boys assembled and stood up the first of the internal wall frames.


All the pieces have come in piles

And they have numbers printed on them to let you know which piece they are, and the plans say where each piece goes.



Here's an action shot of the screws being drilled into the wall - all the holes are pre-drilled so the holes on the inside piece and the outside just have to be lined up and the screws screwed in the holes - sometimes easier said than done when they don't want to cooperate!

Looking through the kitchen window up the hill to the little generator shed in which the generator needs to be running in order to use electric power tools.

Here's a pic of the big screws which attached the internal wall to the external wall.

And here's a pic of the new bedroom doors, all stood up with our assistant helping.
 I forgot to take a photo of the whole wall after it was stood up. I think the next step is going to be more roofing trusses, but tomorrow we are running around doing other stuff. Life getting in the way again!
