More screw ups from the steel company. All the window jams are 4 inch too tall as they didn't take into account the 4" stem wall elevation from finished floor. We cut and reworded the flanges.

The roof beam extensions for the front overhand are massive so requires renting another piece of equipment so the crew can work safely.

We have been getting a lot of rain now. The rough in ABS pipes are for the bath and a kitchenette, as well as provision for a loft above this whole bay since the high side roof is 20' tall.

Here you can see the generous front eave taking shape. 10 feet of overhang. The sides and back are 5 ft.

We forgot to put in the rebar as electrical ground so I pounded two 8' galvanized ground stakes before we pour the 5' wide apron on three sides. I am the electrician for this whole project.

instead of 4" on center they made the holes 3" on center; fixing them so to fit the studs already on the footing requires hogging out the holes to oval shape and cannot be done with drilling

while I have the excavators we dug many extra trenches for more yard hydrants and most exciting, bringing water and fiber optic to the cabin that is 630 ft away; I also prep it for a add on bath with running toilet and shower

this is the main trench that serves all the utilities to the barn and branch to the cabin for water and fiber optic cable; the junction box allows the three way fiber optic cable runs
