Just a dumb question but what keeps everything from falling down? Being that high up I thought it would have very little stability with out a few knee braces placed hear and there. I would hate to see anyone getting hurt. Sure looks great though! I'm glad I'm down to just the garage now.

We have alot of bracing and shear wall to put
on. We just put it off tell last.That will happen this next week. The structure
is very strong. You push on it and it barely
moves. You can walk on it and it is stable.
We just put up the front joists so 4 more
coming and were done with joist. It looks bigger than we expected.

Well with the Holidays and the rain it has been slow going. We have been working on sheer wall,bracing, and subfloor. Hope to finish the floor next couple of days, weather permitting. I have posted pics of progress and included pics of the view from platform floor level.
I normally post on Yahoo but have been unable to upload pics. Don't know why. So now on Shutterfly. Please check out our progress.

See that you guys used Shadow security patrol to protect the flooring!
Great job so far, esp with the weather this last week!

Thanks Carrie, we are excited also. Now if it would stop raining.
Yes Carey, Shadow thinks this all for him. He over sees every step of the project. Best security there is.
