Bucks are Going Up

Took Mary to Peterborough this morning and when I returned the crew had the north and east walls almost complete. The walls are going up quickly because we are dry stacking them and Pat adjusted the windows to reduce the number of cut blocks.

The east wall as seen from our driveway, September 15, 2011.

Kent and Dave seem to be the wall builders; not sure why, maybe because Kent is left handed and can cut block easier. ??????????????

TJ seems to be the buck builder, that's the rough wooden form the windows will sit in. Great job TJ!!!!!!!
Look how closely those bucks line up with the top block. Great workmanship, great design.

The east wall from inside. We are surrounded by forest and the morning sun will fill the bedrooms. Hope you are planning to visit next year.

Looking towards the north wall from the hall. This will be a long corridor with a tall window framed in the end wall; should be beautiful.

At the end of the day what needs to be done?     ........... clean-up.

Have a great weekend, the days are getting cooler.
