super plumb

the house is not plumb unless it's all plumb. the ceiling joists cannot go up until it's all plumb. so, i had to get it all plumb.

the PLS90E is the best tool for this job in my arsenal, bar none. unfortunately, i can't see the laser line for squat during daylight. monday night brought rain which prevented me from finishing up plumbing walls.

tuesday around noon, the ceiling joists and rafter lumber arrived. i cleaned up the site a bit, and added a few sheets of wall sheathing at the back corners to stabilize the building. at dusk, the PLS90E came out and made very quick work of extremely accurate plumbing of the walls.

after about two hours, i couldn't find a wall or corner that wasn't perfectly plumb. today, i'll double check lining of the walls to ensure they're straight, then the ceiling joists will start going up.

we may see some rain today. once the joists are up, i'll take accurate measurements of the ceiling width, and utilize those measurements in defining rafter dimensions.
