This week the main construction crew helped finish baling the south and east walls. The gable end was particularly tough, with more metal work needing done, per the engineer specs. Working high up on scaffolds is slow going, but we made real progress. Issues we encountered this week:
Overall, we have just a bit more meshing on the east gable and then the construction crew will move to the west the week of Oct. 25th. We anticipate getting all of the baling and meshing done on the house by the end of the week. Given the election on Nov. 2nd, we'll likely be unable to coordinate volunteers until after that. We've been monitoring the long-term forecast, and there is a glimmer of hope that the temps will be above freezing the weekend of Nov. 6. If that holds, we'll coordinate a crew for plastering. Everyone on our volunteer list can anticipate an email from us ~Nov. 3 whether or not that is going forward.
