Late start today. Didn't get to the property until 1000. But Dea and I got all the bolts securing the headers to the posts tightened. Then it was hammer time. Each floor joist has a hurricane strap tying it to a header. Each hurricane strap has 22 nail holes. By code, they all have to be used. So...48 joists per building, times 2 straps per joist, times 22 nails, times 2 buildings...4224 nails! I did maybe a quarter today. Had to run to the hardware store for more nails and straps. That was about an hours lost daylight. Not that it mattered much, my arm is pretty much a wet noodle right now. Not looking forward to tomorrow.
No picture posting for today. It looks the same as yesterday.
