Construction journal: it has a wall...then two!
Today started early and ended late, but we made good progress. By about 3 pm, we had a wall standing.
The northeastern wall is UP.
By about 6 pm we had the second wall raised.
The southwestern wall is UP.
Then we ran out of boards (oops) and it got dark. Or it got dark and we ran out of boards. None of this would have happened without our amazing work crew. Paul Treml is the chief carpenter and the guy who tells us all what to do.

Our son in law Matt, his brother Austin, and our daughter Artemis added to the labor pool. Then there were the three guys who were visiting our neighbors, who weren't home, and so instead came over and helped lift that second wall off the floor. Thank you anonymous neighborhood angels of mercy!
