Day 9

We started the day by cutting nogins to space the 2nd floor  joists evenly and add strength to the floor.  Figuring out how to cut the stair stringer had us scratching our heads, until a brief youtube video enlightened us.  All I have to say is that a carpenter's square is an essential tool.  We cut the stringer out of 2x12 lumber, and made the steps out of 2x10's.  It was an amazing feeling to walk up to the second floor.  At this point we sheathed the floor with 3/4" plywood and called it a day.  It's actually starting to look like something.
