Julia and I decided to head out to a couple stores to buy our presents for the giving tree at church before tomorrow, but we followed the guys to the land so Julia could see all the progress. It had really snowed on Angel - I think we have our own weather system up there! There was probably close to a foot of snow on the ground! In fact, Julia and I decided to park at the bottom of the hill and trek up on foot - not as easy as it sounds in kind of deep snow.
The decking has a beautiful quilt of snow on top!
As much as we wish the temps were still warm and we could work, the snow is certainly picturesque, especially with that bright blue sky.
While we headed out, Jim and Kyle decided to build our temporary walls. Here's Kyle measuring...
By the time Julia and I got back, we had wall studs! We were so surprised to see all they had gotten done in the short afternoon - especially considering the weather and the fact that there is a trench between the building and the truck, treks to get tools in the snow weren't real easy.
Here Jim is screwing the studs into the top steel channel. He came up with a way to use C-clamps to clamp the top channel to the beam so that he doesn't have to make any modifications to the beam, since this wall is just going to be temporary.
All it needs now is some plywood - unfortunately, the line on the truck is frozen so that can't happen at the moment. But a great day's work - it's really exciting to stand inside the building and feel that there are now walls all the way around you!
