Behind the scenes boards continued to
be cut and stacked for our house.
On stage now are the major crossbeams.
Two 500 pound pieces of wood cut on the sawmill from discarded local
trees.
I wanted to show the work in progress
of how these beams were set because the progress truly was a test of
patience and ingenuity. The collage below gives you some highlights.....
This three-day moving process involved
NO power tools, just Kevin, ladders, scaffolding and an overhead
homemade ridge crane with straps holding the beam in place.
A tedious but fulfilling event. I must
admit the precarious positions involved in Kevin’s maneuvering
these huge chunks of wood kept me at bay. However, when the 2nd
one slipped into place and I realized how much closer we are to
having our house and moving out of the trailer, proud excitement
rushed through me.
Now on to the rafters and sub-floor
joists!
