In spite of rain showers and gusty winds, George and DJ have installed the vapor barrier on the exterior walls, framed in the interior walls on the main floor, and begun erecting the gable trusses. The main trusses are scheduled to go up next week, weather permitting.
It is a pleasure to work with George, who can be seen here consulting with the head boss on one of the many design details of the construction. His craftsmanship is pleasing to the eye, and the work site is always completely clean and free of debris.
While George and DJ worked on the house, Susan and I had some time to prepare for the coming cold weather. Last week I felled a dead 100' pine tree for firewood. I had to cut it into four 25' sections which I then dragged into the clearing by the creek, where I cut them into 16" rounds.
Yesterday Susan and I took our trusty splitter down to the clearing and went to work. I did the splitting, and Susan loaded the logs into a small trailer behind our four-wheeler and towed it up the hill to the shop. We almost got it all split before we had to quit for the day. When finished, I'll have over two cords of nice firewood.
