my wonderful friend chloe came over for the last 4 days to help put in some concrete feet as a foundation for our first cabin !then @ashesmonroe helped me to get these beams placed and afterwards we went and got the 6inch / 10ft beams that will be the basic skeleton of the deck.
still mulling over options for how to actually cover the deck , i need to build something like a 2x8 frame above this to put insuation in, but also need to somehow put osb underneath first ..

so managed to probably make all the mistakes :
- oversanded probably ,, so minute cupping leads to wobbly block surface
- cut from rough cut with a table saw and a planar and i basically could never get a perfectly straight anything also the table saw blade didnt go all the way through initially so had to flip / cut it which introduced more error.
- over cut one side so had to cut everything in a wonky way and not even get 12 blocks ..
-complete fail fuck me.. bahhhhh -
finally making a small site for pictures / videos ive taken ..

so in order for our heating system to not freeze in the winter i had to build a room inside of our basement .. from all recycled materials because we are broke,, this is the result! i am sad i didnt get to have a shot of the framing as that did turn out real good but here it is , there will be one extra wall to close in the back area more to protect it from the elements just a bit extra and we still have to insulate the ceiling somehow !
