Walls 1 & 2!
Hooray! The first two walls are up. Lifting that long side wall was no easy task with just the two of us. We finally got it in place by propping it in stages, and with an assist from a rope tied to Marshall’s truck. The front wall was comparatively easy — up in one try with muscle power alone.
The two huge openings in the side wall are for the sliding door to the porch and the entrance to the stairwell. You can see that the windows in the front wall will be big too (3′ wide by 5.5′ high). They face south and are part of the passive solar heating “system”.
