Laying the Sills in Place

Once the masonry wall's full eight was completed, the architect set to work explaining to his wife that sill platess had to be bolted with rebar at the roofline to assure that the roof had something to latch onto.

Mid August Bob began this work in a one-man job fashion. It was the kind of solitary job that the architect rather enjoyed. After having taken the ladder up to the second storey, the air fresh, clean, the vista wide and expansive with not a sign of human habitation, he would hammer away.

We were privileged to have company for one weekend in August that made the task go that much better. Anytime friends or family drop by, there is a risk of temporary employment so beware.
