It almost looks like a boat

I threaded the frames onto the stringers and then leveled and bolted the stringers to the building form. All of a sudden it almost looks like a boat.

Leveling the stringers was a bit of a mission, they are close but not as perfect as I would like, but I ended up just chasing my tail trying to get them any closer.

Got frame 5 into its correct position and drilled the holes for the clips into the stringers. Went without too much problems, although I discovered I had forgotten to notch the frames to allow the floor timber to sit on the stringers. Easily fixed with the jig saw but I got a bit carried away and so have a but of overcut to fill with glue.

So ended the day with the frame 5 clips about half fitted.
