The framing of the basement continues, with George first laying out the rooms with chalk lines on the floor, then building the walls. George is a meticulous craftsman, making sure of the smallest details before proceeding.
The first section of floor joists has been installed on the west side of the house above the vault lid. I will now install the water lines and drains for the utility room and the half bath over the next two days while George is gone. As soon as I am finished with that, we will install the decking over the joists.
Yesterday we observed a small wildfire about 20 miles to our north in an area known as Indian Valley. Today it looked as if it was almost out, until a strong storm cell moved through the area bringing high winds. This brought about just the right conditions to cause a sudden reignition, or explosion, of the fire. These conditions present extreme danger to the firefighters working to contain the blaze. The "explosion" lasted for approximately 1 hour before returning to a normal plume of smoke. We volunteers are on standby as more thunderstorms are forecast for tonight.
