We have some progress to update as we move gladly on from foundation and site work for now and set about the carpentry phase. This is a relief to us both as we feel it is more in our wheelhouse and perhaps we'll move along closer to plan!
   The footings,foundation walls,drainage(which needed to depend on a pump),backfilling,gradeing,slab(first and last subcontractor for a spell),waste lines extended,water main extended and hooked-up,foyer floor framed,and the timber sills freshened up and set have got it looking pretty housey!!! We are starting to plan the timber frame phase. First shoehorning all the timbers onto the sight and ordering the assembled bents, the chief logistical issue. Then comes the raising which hopes to include some recruits, can't wait.

The Gods are on are side
