New float: Logs with steel I-beams, with 2x6
nailer bolted on. I had this built off site and towed in by a
contractor, because I couldn't figure out a feasible way to do
it here myself. |
 |
Next a drive to Seattle to get foam billets
used for reserve floation. (Not much floation from the steel
I-beams if the logs submerge). |
 |
The lumber and other supplies got delivered
on a barge right after we got back home with the foam. |
 |
Installing the floor joists over the floam
billets. |
 |
All the joists in place. |
 |
Diver installs more foam billets under the logs
to add floation before I incorporate the several tons of materials
on the barge into the structure. |
 |
The first two walls go up on top of the subflooring. |
 |
After the walls, then the roof trusses. |
 |
Then the roof sheathing. |
 |
Monika keeps pace with the painting . |
 |
Got the roof covered just before the rain
started. (I have a bandage on my head from the second accident
where I stepped on a loose board and if flipped up and hit me
in the head. Hard part of working on a floating structure is
the lack of a place to stand while you build! |
