10 rows and time for scaffolding!

We are now on row 10 and it was time for scaffolding. It is over 16 feet down on to the inside of the cabin - far enough that it might leave a scratch if you fall.

The scaffolding was fairly cheap to rent - $675 a month - and makes my wife and mom very happy!

Southern Yellow Pine I Believe....

Here is a view of the ends of the 4x10's. Man are these joists a thing of beauty. I can't wait to get them in the cabin.

All the way from 'Bama!

Tuesday night I received a call from the trucker that he had my load of 2x6 tounge and groove and 4x10 joists..... he arrived around 7pm and we got the last load off just after dark.

Though he will never read this - thanks for your help and sharing your passion for Christ. It was good to meet you.

The North American Tufted Bobkeip.....

A few weeks ago a good buddy of mine stopped by to help out - Bob Kiep. Doesn't his name sound like some small woodland bird.... "and now you see the black tufted Bobkiep in its natural habitat..."

Anyway - he was a great help as usual! Remember to report any sightings of the black tufted Bobkiep to your local DNR office!
