Phase 1 of the barn-raising is now complete. All of the lumber for the building was either reclaimed or harvested from fallen hemlock on the family land nearby. The deadline for finishing was to enclose our maple syrup operation (upcoming post), and we made it! Below is a little highlight video of the process. The big boys got to help take bark off the logs. We are still trying to come up with a name for this building. It is referred to as the "Sugar Shack" right now, which is the typical name for a maple syrup building, but is also the name of a gentleman's club where we previously lived. Good, bad, humorous? We're open to suggestions!
And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to
work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk
properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
1 Thess. 4:11-12
