This weekend: Nothing to report

There’s not much to report this weekend. We went up to our cottage to take in the boats and docks for the winter. We did stop by the land and the posts, beams, and fittings are all there. The slab has some cracks in it already. We were warned but you always hope that it won’t crack.

Monday they start putting up the post and beam. I’ll post pictures if my dad sends me any. Next week we’ll be putting wood around the perimeter of the house for the bales to sit on. The week after next is the straw bale raising. Time’s moving fast.
