Building again, Garage Progress - July 12, 2012

    My wife, Betsy was here for eight days so I did not do any building. We did  lot of things together. This is a picture of the sunrise we saw one morning as we were heading to Elk Park, just north of Butte to look for elk. We saw over 80 cows and calves feeding in the meadows.


    The next picture shows my garage progress. I started installing the third round of logs today. I'm using very large logs for this round. The big end is close to 17 inches on the one I've already installed. I have a couple more I need to work in that are close to 20 inches in diameter. When you use big logs, there is a lot of cutting required with the chainsaw, but you add height to the wall very quickly. Starting out with a 2 foot stub wall helps too!

    I haven't measured it out yet, but it appears I will start the windows after this round. I have enough logs on site for about three more rounds.
