Masonry Reaches the Second Storey in August


With the local father and son mason team of Frank and Patrick, the walls ascended to the second storey after delivery of the hollow core slabs the end of July.

Here one sees the delivery of large palettes of masonry block being placed on the hollow core slab floor of the second storey. The masons would be able to proceed now with wall construction in an easier fashion.

While our home's walls were rising, the ultraviolet rays beating down on our tent at Twin Oaks campsite not far from the construction site took a heavy tole and serious applications of ducktape patchwork provided very little adhesion to our sorry little vestibule.

The southside of the farmhouse had an especially dramatic appearance with large solar window openings.
