Still Not Done

Despite working every available minute and then some, I couldn't quite finish the house in time for today's birthday party; the doors and windows are not yet built.  Still, it's most of the way there, with the roof complete, a ceiling installed (to cover up the roofing nails pointing in), and the railings in place and painted.   No interior ladder yet, but the inhabitants were quick to figure out how to scramble up using the window frames.

I noticed today that the two primary rim joists have already developed a slight bend, curved like a U from the weight of the structure above them.  How annoying.  But to put in two more concrete piers and a pair of floor jacks seems, well, excessive.  It's just going to settle into place, I guess.
