The first week

Over the weekend, Rick and I worked on the driveway. I don't think I've talked about "my" Kubota tractor. It is so fun to work with. First we moved all the snow away from the edges of the driveway, the we took bucket after bucket of gravel up to the muddy parts of the driveway. We made some progress, but the only thing that is going to help is time and dry weather!


After a long day, cheese, crackers and a glass (or two) of wine is a nice way to relax.


Monday was a holiday (Patriot's Day), so Rick and I were there when Tim and his crew showed up on Monday morning. He brought both his sons; Devon and Dustin. Steve, an experienced craftsman also came with his son Tyler. It was spring break in New Hampshire and Dustin and Tyler were looking to earn some extra money. They will sort logs, carry tools and do some clean up around the site.

In case you are wondering how the wiring is put into the walls, here is how. After the walls got high enough, Tim took a long drill bit and drilled holes through the log down into the basement.

Below is a close-up of the holes he drilled.



When we left at 3:00, this is how much they got done.
