... along with the December snow. We had about 4 inches of the stuff that morning.It doesn't look like there is enough here for a house frame but there is! It includes in 17 foot 8''x8'' post and a few large 8''x10'' beams. They were stacked in two stacks.
The unloading was eventful. Willy the framer joked to me that my cameea was there to record it in case they fell. Well, the second stack did fall. These are not construction grade 2x4's, but hand sanded, hand oiled, and hand finished timbers, so Willy was quite upset at this. Only one small rafter was slightly cracked, fortunately, and a few beams had a little mud on them. It's hemlock anyways, so it will check and crack as it dries.Frayed nerves were soothed by the fact that the pieces all fit together and lines up with the foundation walls perfectly.
