#strawbalehouse Day 18: Time To Admit That I've Been a Slacker
With Yvonne on vacation for 9 days, I managed to get a lot done....just not on the #strawbalehouse. I built a new coffee bean roaster, I did some necessary repairs on the trailer, walked the dog a lot and of course, cleaned and polished my boots using a new boot cream that is so good you will be begging me to do a video review of the product.
What I did manage to complete on the house is to prepare the strapping for the box beam installation and to cut the door and window bucks down to the proper height. Next video we will be discussing the roof trusses.
