Done with Firring Strips! (Almost)

We were able to get the firring strips finished in all the rooms.  The only loose end I have to tie up is whatever I'm going to do along the interior walls to avoid truss uplift from cracking the joint compound...  I have drywall clips, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.  I may use these firring strips, but angle the screws into the wall header instead of going up into the trusses.

Anyway, this is still a major milestone -- or almost to the major milestone of starting the drywall.  I have to finish the blocking in the walls, and then we will be ready...  Well, I have to get the insulation inspection done, but that should be trivial...

Meanwhile, Kendrick tried the stilts out, and he decided he won't be playing on them!  He had to keep hold of the walls / ceiling the whole time...  He found out it is much more difficult than the Amish made it look...
