Beam Me Up Scotty!

They installed some of the large roof beams this week. One is 26 Ft long. Great crane operator! Gary wants to apply for that job. Watch out!

Looks like a praying mantis.These guys just think they are strong!

Looks like a storm is brewing.'Tapping' the beams into place. Our head framer. We hope he doesn't fall off! After all he is a year older than Gary.

Our first big issue. Notice the big beam? It is right in front of the window. It doesn't feel right. I think there is a change order coming.

This week started out nice an sunny. You can now see our house from about 1.5 miles down the road. The house is just to the left of the top of the telephone pole. To see a large view of this photo (or any others in the Blog) click on the photo to enlarge.

We installed a water storage tank this week to have reserve water at the pad because our well is about 300 yards down the hill from the house and 650' deep.
Caught in the act! The daily turkey feast on our newly seeded hillside. Luckily some of the grass is starting to grow amongst numerous bald patches. There are other strange creatures roaming the property. Jacksonville is not without its share of social concerns and political strife. Here are some local protesters expressing their concerns about not getting a local skate park.And then there is Gunnar and Karl. They haven't changed.

See you next week.
