Time to deck

8am was the usual arrival time of most of the crew. Around 830 or so they'd get cracking. Think there are City rules on how early you can begin. Since some were coming from as far away as Cartersville, I wouldn't
expect much before 9.

Rough plumbing inspector showed up early, since he missed Friday's appointment, and was gone in about 5 minutes. Talking to him I learned even more about how inspectors see their job and one's opinion and ok might be countered by another's view and denial. We got the thumbs up and that was the key to me.

Talked to Pedro about why floor joists weren't done Saturday and he said the wood was all on the bottom of the giant pile. He knew they had to get tarps up, so focused on getting the main ridge and front ridge up with a few rafters. Spilt milk. Told him they'd need to get rest of joists done first thing but he already had that planned. Lou showed up around 1030 to get wiring done and it was chaos under the Blue Dome.

Framers were already laying down decking on half that had wiring done. They were moving fast. Things
came together and by lunchtime joists were done and deck was down. The intense pounding from framers removing the support blocking between existing joists was about as loud as anyone could live through. Fortunately, none of the ceiling came down but many little plaster spots fell from the ceiling below. Looks like I'll be busy patching with mud.

By end of the day, rafters were up and exterior walls were almost done.
