Workday Number 1

Many update to talk about so let's get right to it:

Today's workday went very well. We were able to get even more wood. With this new wood we were able to construct both the floor and two of the walls. There are six planks holding up the structure. Remember, we are building the cabin about five feet above ground. This was indeed an obstacle but we have made the flooring very secure. Also the walls are going to be eight feet high which means the ceiling is going to be that high as well. That is the standard ceiling height of an regular household ceiling! It is begining to look really good. We will have some pictures posted soon on this website.

In my professional opinion, I think that we are about half way done with the actual physical part of the cabin. This is GREAT for just one long day of work. How long was our day you may ask? Well as scheduled, we worked almost nonstop from 12-9:30. We are all very worn out and I am really to tired right now to finish this post. Lol.

Well there really is a lot to talk about now that construction has started. We are having a short work day tommorow. We plan on working a 12-5:00 shift. We hope to get the final amount of wood, finish the walls, and ideally start the roof. We likely will not be able to finish the roof, even though that would be nice. If we COULD finish the roof, then we would have a place to store our contruction junk. The next work day will most likely be next weekend, after we finish up for the week tommorow.

Again, I really do appreciate you all coming back to check out the status on BAMF. It is nice to see that I am not writing all this stuff for nothing. It hard because I think the other writers have just stopped posting so I hope they will begin again. Otherwise, a few more may be hired.

I want to give honarable mentions of the day to Nathan Birkemier. Nathan stepped up beyond the call of duty with both ideas and physical labor. We here wish to give him our gratitude for what he has done today. Do not get me wrong, the other workers were great, but this man went beyond the call of duty. Without him we would not have gotten near as far as we got today.
