The Story

Some amazing pictures of the building progress taken by Darlene Patton. Thanks Darlene!

After the top was off it was time to put some logs up.  Just so that everyone is dealing with reality at this point, logs are heavy!

There is a grand total of 45,000 lbs of wood resting where that roof used to be.  Not only that,
but once they were dropped off by the mill, they were moved solely by hand.  Max, Chris, Nathan, Mike, and Craig learned the meaning of "Back breaking labor".

Rob (the Foreman and General Contractor) was a veritable cornucopia of knowledge.  We learned new things everyday, even when we didn't want to!
