The new addition to the house ties in to the original foundation and also to the 10′ laundry room addition that a previous owner added. Those two foundations aren’t perfectly level with each other so there has been a bit of extra time spent to get the sill plate for the new exterior walls dead on level.
So far, we have been filming the construction from a couple of locations inside the house. At this point we really need to move the camera / raspberry pi outside so that we can see the framing action on the wall. We’ve picked a big cherry tree as the place to mount the camera…. tomorrow Craig will mount a 2×4 high up on the trunk and I will try to come up with a waterproof enclosure that we can put the pi/ camera into which we will mount to the 2×4.
Up until today, the guys did not know that we had been making little time lapse movies of their work. Today we broke the news to them and they took it pretty well… or at least we think they did; proof of their acquiescence will be when the power cord to the cherry tree setup doesn’t magically get unplugged during the day.
