##Installing Windows
We nailed and screwed the pre-cased windows into the holes for them in the wall frames. For some windows, we build frames and attached them to the outside of the windows so the window could be attached to the wall.
##Loft Construction
The loft is supported by the East wall, the South-East wall, and the center poplar post. It is built with 2x6 girders and 2x3 joists.

##Future Steps
As of 12/16/2021, the octagon was Tyvecked to be waterproofed waterproof for the winter. In the spring or future, the octagon will need plaster on the walls to protect the light straw clay insulation. In addition to the plaster, a few other projects have to be completed to fill gaps in the walls. One window still needs to be framed and installed in the top of the South-East wall, and a front door needs to be installed. The sections left open for bottle walls need to be completed or filled with light straw clay. A bump-out needs to be constructed or something needs to be installed to cover the whole to it to make leave it as a deck. The , and the section above the bump-out, between the North-East Wall and the roof , needs to be covered with boards. To complete the roof, a hole needs to be cut for a chimney pipe from the woodstove. It would also be good to add some kind of waterproofing or filler between the ridge cap and the roofing to prevent water from being blown upward and leaking through the ridgeline of the roof. For the stability of the building, 2x6s need to be added to the outside of the floor joist triangles. Flashing should be added over the outside of the rim boards to the bottom of the walls.<gallery class="center" mode=packed heights=150px>FileOctogonFront.jpg|Front of the OctogonFile:OctogonBack.jpg|Back of the OctogonFile:OctogonRight.jpg|Side of the Octogon</galery>
