The Barn Construction
Basement Frame.
The timber frame for the basement level arrives by truck on Monday, August 14, 2006.
Turning into the drive was a bit dicy, but ultimately successful.
A full load on the 48-foot traliler.
The Crane also arrives on time.

Perhaps we should look at the plans first!
The first two beams are put in place.
Let's make sure all is level!
John & Sarah drive the first pegs!
Mission accomplished.
