I was wondering why the walls were so short, the last photo puts it all in perspective. 

Looking great! Do you leave a lip so that the sheathing finishes flush with the slab or do you have the sill plate flush with the edge and have the sheathing overhang?

it will overhang, a lip could be a potential issue with water penetration.

We will end up with 6'6" interior in the workshop and the second story, I'm trying to keep it as low as possible

Found some sweet closeout windows. Not sure if I should go with them.

Harvey seems to be a good window, I guess it matters how good of a deal!

so we drilled out the bottom of the 6x6's and inserted some rebar and pinned them to the slab

and built a triple header to span them

started laying the floor joists

and carried them across to the header

we had to frame out for the staircase

We should be cutting through the back of the cabin tomorrow

time to sheath

we laid a bead of adhesive to prevent any squeaking and dropped them in place

all decked over and ready for the second floor

looking from the barn
