Day 145 - Setting up main floor scaffolding

Patrick back at work after injuring his hand and getting five stitches. Fortunately no tendons or bones were nicked in the injury, so Patrick should recover quite quickly. I asked Patrick if he knew the trick to stop his finger from throbbing. He didn't - so I told him the trick is to hit his thumb with a hammer, that way you don't feel your finger any more.

Another forest of WASS. The diagonal braces are fastened to a 2x6 that are screwed to the floor (2 2x6 are fastened together at 90 degree angles for rigidity). In order to not hit the tubing for the hydronic heating, the screws are only installed in places where there are partition walls (which means there is no tubing there).
