Thanksgiving Progress

Mick was excited because we discovered a better way to stack the logs on the floor. They are now in piles, each row separated by stickers, sorted by letter, with the more advanced letters on the bottom. They are out of our way (mostly) when working on the walls, and it is easy to get to the ones that we need next. We think this will make it easier too when we have to cover the site up with tarps. We'll get to test that out later this morning, it looks like. It has also been exciting to see the piles shrinking and the walls rising!

That picture was taken at the beginning of the day yesterday, and by the end of the day it looked like the following picture, with six courses finished! It is really starting to feel like a fortress, and it is exciting to see the walls climb higher and higher (although it gets harder and harder to lift the logs into place, and Mick doesn't have the same leverage to push down when he is screwing in the log hogs.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
