Laying the joists for the subflooring

Actually had to rotate these sub flooring boards. Learned it is a nominal width so it wasn't lining up on 16" on center. Had to remove 4 boards then start over. The

insulation

was rained on in one spot when the wind blew up my tarp but I let it dry for a week and seems to be fine. I did not end up laying house wrap on the bottom as I did not want it to hold water and figured it would breath better under there this way. We will see if that was a mistake or not.

Complete square. I didn't count but I think I used less boards than the plan called for by reusing the left overs from other cut boards.

And then it was round. I drew my circle twice in one spot and on about a 5' section I sawed the wrong one making it to small. I figure when I cut my finish bamboo flooring I can cantilever that extra 1-2" out to make my perfect circle and should be fine. We will see.

Damn near had heat stroke. I was drinking water so quick I wanted to puke but by 1500 I had to start cleaning up as I had a headache, the shivers, and was lucky to piss the little bit of orange I did. Even flying in 120 degree heat with full flight gear and body armor in a black helicopter I had never been so hot. That tar paper and black flooring was miserable. I have to do it in the morning and evening to finish in the shade. I need a sharper or more teeth on my saw blade to cut the bamboo without it blistering. Maybe a jig saw this time I don't know. Also the flooring bubbled where the vapors were trying to escape out of the cheap pain on top of the flooring. It was the cheapest flooring that was not laminate that I could find and my wife helped decide but I think she is going to hate the dark dark brown/black flooring with all of the dirt that it shows. We shall see.

If all goes well and I can get time on the weekend we might have the small yurt up next Sunday.
