L2 beams and trusses Panic due to unseasonal August rain  
Level 2 Floor Framing. The framers had more then proved themselves, so we advance. This presented much greater challenge, to my eye, than the wall framing below.


1. L2 beams and trusses
Framers had to rent a lift to raise these beams 10 feet.

The great atrium opening is now evident. No one but the structural engineer knew about this. Noriko had never seen the building drawings.

2. Panic due to unseasonal August rain
August 25 - significant rain is predicted. This is off the charts. The level 2 floor plywood is completely vulnerable. I spend a day deploying a 40x30' tarp, 10 sheets of plywood and 25 sheets of roofing metal.
