Build Day 3: Top-notch crew

Our crew is doing such a fine job! Today was another smooth day of assembling and raising walls, including the front section of our great room – which I’ve only seen in these pictures:

Your photo tour today is courtesy of John, who found a few minutes to capture these images. He says at least two more walls went up before day’s end.

These photos do a nice job of showing the slots in the walls for our awesome timbers.

For the third day in a row, John came home beaming. He can’t say enough about how efficiently our crew is working, and how happy he is with the quality of everyone’s workmanship. Alfie, he says, fusses over 1/16 of an inch. He gets the perfectionist’s stamp of approval for certain.

“My only worry,” John told me, “is whether Safeway will run out of Frank’s Red Hot.” Patrick puts it on everything.

We are not so naïve to think we won’t have (more than) a few more bad days before this project is complete, particularly now that I’ve made a point of saying how well things are going. But we sure appreciate every good one.

  1. Think positive Kelly, the bad days are behind you and only good days ahead. The birds will be singing and the fish will be jumping soon!
