Day 24: Window Bucks

Today we built wooden bucks for the 3 sliding glass doors on the south wall. Bucks provide a mounting surface for the doors and help strengthen the large openings in the APEX block wall. The APEX material has very little strength and will not hold a fastener without additional support. We also stacked up 4 more courses of block to the east and west of the center door. Here is a pic from the southeast at the end of day 24. Thanks for reading. I appreciate your comments.
