April 4th

Today we completed the first floor frame by inserting the remaining walls. I then "made the windows" (temporary ones to help minimize draft and rain- whilst affording some daylight at the same time) although we have no roof yet, am sure they'll come into use soon... Now we have a blocked stairwell ( all the internal walls are piled up over it) and a completed upstairs frame- I innocently ask " how do we get downstairs?" - "ah, we'll just HOP through one of the windows" was the reply "GREAT!!" I placed a hop up onto the scaffolding and chose the window which seemed to have the sturdiest scaffolding planks which also appeared to be slightly closer to the building as our access. eeks and Jaysus are the two words on my mind- not a fan of jumping down from a height where there is daylight a person can fit through between you and the secure surface. But anyways, guess I'd better man up!
