Quick update today... chipping away at the second floor framing.

Of course, I positioned an anchor bolt to fall perfectly in line with a joist. ...so I cut away the interfering wood and made it fit. Chipping away at the framing, bit by bit.

I noticed a huge paper wasp nest as I was taking a break... I resisted the urge to poke it with a stick.

I got a rim joist in place and a handfull of floor joists squared, spaced, and nailed in place. Almost ready to start adding the second floor deck!

Another view... once again, just because I like angles.
