Day 109

Today at first, we worked on steps for stairs. When we put step board on this three boards we cut yesterday, the center board was almost 1/4" to 1/2" higher. Oh no, how that happen?! We tried to find a way to make them same height like putting shim board in, or look for the way to cut some part off... Then decided to try switching center and one on the side in some reason. And some kind of miracle happened. Turned all three are same height, no gap, and steps are leveled. We don't know how that worked, but good, nailed as soon as possible. We thought we have a lots of scrap wood, but after all we used most of them. we don't have enough 2x6. So we used two 2x4 instead. Maybe we should've work on stairs earlier. It's so convenient.

今日はまず最初に階段に板を貼る。まず昨日切った三枚に板をのせてみたところ、真ん中の板が１／４から１／２インチほど高い。なんで！外側の板にくさびを入れてみたり、真ん中の板をどうにか切って同じ高さにするてはないかとしばらく考えてみる。とりあえず何となく真ん中と外側を入れ替えてみることに。すると、ミラクル、三枚全て同じ高さに、しかも水平もきちんと出た！なんで！？とりあえず何かが変わらないうちにと急いで釘でとめてしまえ。いっぱい切れ端の板があると思っていたけど、知らん間にほとんど使ってしまっていた。ので、この階段は２x６じゃなく２x４を２枚で足場にする。階段って便利、こんなことなら早めに作れば良かった。
Then we worked on second floor walls. It's been a while to work on wall. Ah- we found out we forgot how we did it... This angle wall reminds me when we were working on first gable wall....

その後２階の壁の作業の続きをする。壁作りは久しぶりで、あーどうやってたっけ？やたらと時間がかかってじれったい。この斜め壁は切妻部分を初めて作ったときの半地獄を思い出す。
Holt moly we found this scary black on the roof! Guess what it is? It's thousands of flies! And we have several spots that coverd with this black shadow. Since outside get cold, they came in. Now there are 5 thousands of flies live in our house! Before us! At least they give us "guess what shape is this" game.

ワー、こんな黒い固まりを屋根にいくつか発見してしまった！何でしょう？何千匹ものハエの固まりでした！外が寒くなってきたのであったかいとこに入ってきて固まってる。私たちが住む前に５千匹くらい既にハエが住み込んでる！最悪何の形でしょうゲームして遊べるけど。
