This morning, we put double sill plates on top of the basement walls for the modules to sit on:






















Other updates:

• hardwood floor has been installed on first floor mod
• Certainteed is almost all up (minus the seam between the two mods, which will be installed onsite)
• windows and doors are caulked and ready to be painted
• shading devices for the southeast windows are in prototype mode
• John brought us cookies and soda today!

Sarah and Brian clear the site

We wouldn't want those solar panels to be shaded, would we?
