uh, is this thing working?

The title of this post does not refer to the actual work we've done today, which you can see in this picture, but to the growing doubts I am having as to wether these pictures are showing up in the blog! I've done everything the same way as usual, so if no pictures show when you see this blog, you'll know that I've been temporarily confounded. Perhaps there's a rogue wizard in there somewhere throwing confundus curses into the computer system. Shame on the culprit, I know it isn't Harry Potter doing this!

If the picture does show up (perhaps the ministry of magic will apprehend the rogue!) you will be able to see the end result of a lot of measuring, hoisting, joisting and more measuring. We are laying the floor joists (2 x 12 lumber) and it's a lot of fun. After hours of measuring and re-measuring, this work really feels like it's flying by - not to mention that we are starting to see what will be our first floor, and are also able to start seeing the beginning of the outline of the floorplan now, though only in the sense that we can tell by the length of the floor joists and where the beam falls what is going on. It's not otherwise apparent, though I hope it will be in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks for reading, and if there are no pictures to go along with this, I'll drop all the Harry Potter commentary and really try to figure out what's going on here and fix it! Reparo!
