Now we are starting to make some progress. Here you can see the I beams that will support the terrace for the upper bedroom being welded into place. The "sub floor" of the terrace will be some of the steel siding that we will cut out of the 40 footer to make part of the living room, stairs and access to the bath. It will get a light weight mortar bed on top and then tile. 
Notice also the pins protruding from the footing, which will be to pin the straw bale infill in place. The upright beam that holds the steel in the corner is fastened to a one-quarter inch by 18 inch by 5 inch "fin" that is buried 9 inches into the corner footing.
