Joists for First Level Flooring Installed

We received the 'shingles' for the outer wall of the clubhouse, now we are waiting for them to dry before installing them.  

They are off-cuts of Cryptomaria Japonica, or Japanese Cedar.  Rot resistant and fragrant, perfect for the wind and rain we get all winter here.

We used Acacia wood for the joists to support the floor.

They are long enough to allow for a porch extension that we had not planned for.

The boards are locally milled from our islands forests.

After the wood dries a bit more, we will finish installing the boards and close the lower level and install windows and doors.
