From June 7 - July 19

Sorry all, its been a long time since I was able to find the time to write an update on our barn project.  Believe it or not the project is actually progressing through some of the hottest Saturday's.  The installation of the roof boards is a major milestone that is a bit overdue by many standards.  That being said, alas it is complete.  We'd not be here without some of the regular Saturday morning barn builders, most notably - Kirk Greenfield, Ray Smith, John Hughes and Tim Rau.  On the final day, Helen's son Chuck came by to help finish the last of the board's.  With temperatures hovering in the 90's, his assistance was a welcome relief.  Take a look at the results, I think you'll agree that we have turned another corner.....

Speaking of corners, for those of you who don't recall this is what the site looked like last labor day.

Now here is where we are as of last weekend.  We'd not taken a lot of photos during the roof-board process as every hand was on deck working leaving no spare hands for photo operations.  Please make sure you check out the new album I added today to see the whole process. Now with the excitement and splendor of raising large creaking timbers a distant but well documented memory, the core team will keep building this barn piece and board by board till we have it completed this summer, well maybe fall.
