Level 3: Starting the Floor

2nd level's ceiling is the 3rd-floor joists.


20-foot 2x8s are heavy, and the floor's ~20 feet up, so I rigged a hoisting system (block&tackle) from a cable which extends from the central post to a big tree.


With 100 lightning-sparked fires in Trinity County, the mountains were obscured all day, becoming again apparent only post-sunset.
