Leveling the floor

Doug is busy leveling the top of the joists so that the floor in the bedroom is sufficiently flat. A few of the joists were a bit weedy and have been replaced, there was also a spot that had had a ladder between the two floors where a bit of one of the joists had been removed.

This is making lots and lots of wood shavings and saw dust as bit have to be planed and sanded flat. I think it is approaching finished although there are some tricky bits round the edge still to do - where the existing joist has been buried in the hempcrete and so an additional bit needs bolting to it so that the floor is supported at the edge.

Hot weather, as well as quite a lot of grass mowing and animal care has made progress difficult - in addition Doug is working on his own now.
