today we decked the floor joist/foundation, and started putting the "plates" around the perimeter, and marking off all the walls with a chalk line. I liked this last part the most, because we were using the plans to figure it out. I like all the measuring and numbers.
The homeowner was there today, she still seems pretty excited. she has a preschooler and a first grader. She's ethiopian, super nice.
otherwise a pretty typical day. some accountants from HP volunteered. It was a sunny day, but not too hot.
