Attached floor.

Got alot of work done today, guess getting up early actually helped for once lol. Between me and my dad we both leveled and attached the floor to the 4 corners.
This floor was heavy so using some clamps and a extra pair of hands we shimmied and leveled it into place, first we attached the outer planks giving me the initial support and also serving as a guide on where to put the inner gridded floor, which is one piece by the way.
The next step which I couldn't due today due to not having any concrete is going to be reinforcing the center of the floor with some small 4X4's and another 2X6 as a divider. This will give me the needed support in the center of the floating floor to hold the weight of the filter when thats finally installed.
Next step will be to pour concrete into this spot, and then begin on the upper support of the structure that will hold the trusses. Till next update!!!

Errected Columns of the Koi Pump House.

Didn't really have time yesterday for this update. So I figured since I didn't do anything when I got home today I figured Id combine both days lol. Me and my Dad dug the holes and put the four 4X4 posts that will hold the structure up, there just loosely in the ground at the moment. The next step is do raise and evenly square the floor with the posts so I can finally put cement in the holes.
Here are some different views of the progress so far.
Progress has been slow due to my work schedule and my Dads not lining up, but Iam hoping to at least get this floor done by the time I go on vacation coming up in July that's when Ill be able to devote all my free time to the project.

Well till the next update!!
