Two Weeks: Abridged

The last two weeks have not been full of spectacular changes, but that doesn't make what has been done any less important. Bill & Co have been spending the time stabilizing the foundation and timber frame while we have been running the gauntlet of bureaucracy. On the plus side, we now have our zoning permit and the septic system worked out and we were able to observe a township meeting. Democracy in motion is quite long-winded. The SIPs are scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Wednesday) and the spectacular changes will begin again. Here are the latest developments in captions.



Rotten wood is replaced with concrete block and gaps are concreted closed



The sealer goes on to the timbers and brings out their innate redness



A cross of timbers adds stability where one set of barn doors once was



A view down the gullet of the beast



A total of nine rotten timbers were replaced by the excess timbers salvaged from the barn
