Werner is put to work

Well, a little anyways. Here I am scraping the ice of a rafter, the aftermath of the stack falling off the crane.

I helped out moving the timbers from the stack to the foundation, and helped rearranged the stack of rafters. Will was concerned that I'd strain my back, but I've been sawing, chopping and stacking firewood through most of the fall, so I'm not nearly as wimpy as I seem.

I have to say that some of those 8''x10'' beams were real effers to move. I can see why Will tried to sell me on some dried, light beam rather than these water- logged blocks of mass.

Lisa and I both love the Hemlock though. No regrets. This is a picture of a man happy with his choice of building materials.
