And so it starts

Today was a good day. The weatherman predicted rain , but the sun was shining on us for most of the day...and no rain. We got lots done. My arms are sore....those logs are heavy! Here are the pictures from today.

































It is starting to take shape!

Getting Ready

Today was a day of preparation. Dry fit the first row and drill all the holes for the tie rods and electrical. Then they had to put blocking under the floor to support the tie rods.



These corners are going to look beautiful!






Apparently you have to own a Ford truck to work here.(boy was I lucky)



The logs are all laid out, ready for assembly tomorrow. All the logs are number by wall, row, and from left to right.



There are even a couple of small logs there that I think Catherine could lift. Most of the logs are pretty heavy.

The logs are HERE!!!

The logs arrived today. But before they got there, Ralph was doing some backfilling around the house.



This is picture of Ralph's new toy.

Another great day.
