On the 30th

Floor frame down, time to top it off with some OSB boarding. This will be the base for the finished flooring to come. I think we will use some local pine floor boards. That is a way off yet, and will come once we have the walls and the rest of the frame finished. We want to leave that as long as possible to protect it from any damage whilst we are working.

 What we have so far as the floor in layers: the trailer's original floor, some black plastic( to prevent any moisture coming up through the trailer), wood frame with cork inside, and OSB sheeting on top .


 Using the chalk line to find the centre. This then gives us the centre point of the floor joist to screw into. Simple technology, works wonders!

 OSB marked and ready for us to cut and/or to screw.

 Raquel cutting the OSB boards to fit.

 Missy didn't resist to David's invitation to come on top of the trailer! She loved it and just stayed for a while for some strokes.

 At the end of the day, to warm up the BUS and ourselves, we used scraps of the wood that we have been cutting to make the floor frame.
