Major Milestone!!

Thursday, July 1 :  The day Dennis cut the joinery in the last 3 timbers!!

Yes!  The frame is cut!  All 146 pieces.  Sorta like this picture, but not assembled yet, and obviously, a WHOLE lot bigger.
Not only is it done, we're within 10 days of Dennis's original estimate of "completion in 6 months IF it goes WELL".  As all do-it-yourselfer's know...stuff happens sometimes often, and I'm not referring to the good stuff here.  So share the moment with us before our attention turns to the next step: the outer layer. 

We need to have everything ready and onsite to close in the house before we undertake frame raising day.  The biggest part of this is figuring out the best way to cut tongue & groove into 270 pieces of 2x6, writing a cheque to the guys building our SIP package and arranging crane rental for the duration of the raising.
