One Year Ago

well, one year and two weeks…

Geez, its hard to believe but its been a year since construction was started on The Building. I dug up this video shot last year of the excavator knocking down a big willow tree. It made very short work breaking apart the tree, but could not get the stump out at the same time. A day later he simple hooked onto the stump and yanked it out with no effort at all.

Where this tree once stood we now have a driveway.

A gallery of photos documenting the whole building process can be found here….

Good, now we both have that song stuck in our head.

The Great Divide

Clips and Clamps in place

Last night I finished off the installation of the alignment clips (the silver pieces sticking out) and the clamps. Everything now locks up nice and tight. Ready to move onto the next step!
