I have followed your project from the beginning and enjoyed it very much! It has been quite an odyssey. Good luck with progress this year!

I had some helpers for the last couple days. A friend came over with two young boys (13). Man can they work. They had that fit cleared out of the basement/crawl space in no time! I would have been working on that for another month!!!

 

[BoFuller]

Then they dug out an area on the other side of the pony wall for easy access to the plumbing area.

Here I am dragging the first log over to the foundation.

 

[BoFuller]

And here is the first log being lowered down. There are 13 pieces of rebar of varying lengths sticking up out of the foundation. It is quite a chore to get them all lined up as the log is slowly lowered.

 

[BoFuller]

Success!!! The first log is now in place!

But Bo, but Bo, that log is too long! :shocked: Congratulations! That moment has been a long time coming.

I want the overdangle to be about 3 1/2 feet and that is almost 5 feet, so when I'm all done, I'll trim off a foot or so.

For me, that task would be impossible! Good job.

getting that first log down is quite an accomplishment given the bureaucratic obstruction/indifference to the permitting process. sometime you just have to grind them down. well done!
