More posts

Jerry and the guys got more of the posts up today. On Monday they have a crane coming and they’ll be putting some of the beams up. The posts for the front part of the house won’t be standing until Wednesday. Some of the posts were spec’d at 5 1/4” square and we changed them to 7 1/4” square for strength and to match all the other posts.

This weekend we’re going to be building up the door and window bucks in preparation for the straw bale.

It’s going to be quite a change up there this weekend, for most of the summer we worked through quite oppressive heat, 30+ degrees for most of August and part of September. This weekend it’s looking to be just above zero degrees. Ya gotta love Canada - real seasons.
