Our current build project is the Green's house in the next town over, Long Beach, MS. This is about 1,000 square feet. It was designed by the group last spring, construction began in the summer. When we picked up, it had just passed its hurricane strap inspection, so we finished sheathing the house in osb, random frame work like facia and drywall nailers, and putting the water proofing layers on the outside. Currently the Tyvek and roof underlayment are complete. Construction has temporarily halted until some more funds are gathered. The next step is to put on the metal roof.
Also in the news.
We spent a few days rebuilding a section of our driveway. So we learned fun things about working with concrete. Like building forms, working with concrete truck, skreeting/floating it, and cutting control joints.
