Today was sort of a transition day weather wise - I think the wonderful weather we have been blessed with is going to turn a tad more winter like starting tomorrow.  We had a day filled with mostly light drizzle and fog.

Thankfully, we can now work inside in our dry space - amazing!  The first thing Jim did was to fasten some plywood on top of the ceiling joists by the west wall.  This will make it easier to get the rest of the sheathing on.  Plus, it can be the beginnings of an attic space floor!

Then Jim turned his attention back to ceiling joists.  He had to first put blocking up...

Then he got the top of the wall ready...

And a ceiling joist is in place!

We had our first lunch break in the apartment space today!

After lunch, another joist is in place.

Third joist in place...

Jim decided that it was much easier to put the blocking together on the ground as opposed to up above him on scaffolding.

Another joist....

At the end of the day, we got 5 new ceiling joists up into place!  Jim will still have to check to make sure they are all on the same plane once they are all in place and then put in more fasteners.  But the apartment space is taking shape inside now!
