The first thing I did on Saturday was pick up threaded rod. This took a trip to 4 different stores before I realized I was looking for the wrong size. I replaced the 4 rods around the wheel well and reassembled the floor. Next I continued to cut the studs and headers. I even nailed together the bathroom area of the wall.

Today a friend come over to lend a hand so I wanted enough building materials around so I did an early morning run to pick up the lumber for the rear wall. The front wall has 4 windows, the door, two different top plate heights and the span over the wheels. A lot of different sized lumber and plenty of cuts. With my helper we made great progress, unfortunately when I made the wheel well header I cut it 6" too short. Good thing I had the spare lumber.
By the end of the day we had almost completed the wall, there is just the area around the kitchen window to frame.
Expenses to date: $7,298
