Tom, Luke, Philip, Hugo, Josie, Annastasia (full day)
- Raised most of the rest of exterior walls.
- toe-nailed, squared on deck, raised, plumbed. Braced on the deck.
- Generally worked wall by wall which worked well.
- Slow parts where frames were too long or bracing was not cut shy of the edges.
- Need 4 people as a minimum. Two guns (bracing nails, framing nails) would be good. ABout 3 days to raise and plumb (minimum)
- Pry bar, sledge hammer, long (2m) level, ladder required. Couldn't buy an expandable level.
- Working in 2s or 3s is best where possible. Giving one person a day-long job is good (eg. Josie was 'glue girl')
- Prefab frames good. Cypress good but splitty.
