Papa had 5 days off in a row because of a work training session and we are taking the time to build build build!! The 1st day off was Sunday and we took it off and had a Party :) This pictures are from the middle about of day 4. Papa started at the door into the trailer and worked his way around the whole thing placing 4X4's 17 inches apart as a base for the straw bale walls and putting doors in. Doors take forever! In the top picture you can see the two front doors just about done and the 4X4's in the corner.. the 2 bales we were using for measuring depth. I put wood filler on the cracks in the floor when ever Papa didn't need help!
This is as far as we got on the back door that night. We ran out of straight 2 by 12's and it just was not working so we quit for the night. But the 4X4's all got cut and only 2 needed to be glued, but the door had to go in first so we had to leave them till day 5. You can see the new door leaning up against the pole in the background.
Here is the front view! There is a 3 foot (about) deck on the front.
Here is the front wall and part of the side wall. The black bag is insulation from the old addition that we are using for between the 4x4's under the bales. You can see my dryer plug in all done there in the wall. All in all it was a good day. The doors TOOK FOREVER!!! They ended up working on them the next day as well as the bales squished them and made them really hard to open and close.. so they had to support the doors better.
