Turned out to be a weekend of getting some things done, but not a lot to show for it. Karen worked on sanding the logs for the porch, I finished cutting, welding and grinding the street lights.

Man, TEXAS has some BIG cedars! Here in east central GA, they don't get so big. I'm looking forward to seeing this one completed Eddie! I've already got a few ideas from this project. One, being ye saw horses! I need to get me some of those metal saw horse making thingamajigs.
By the way y'all, the word, TEXAS must always be said and written in all capital letters. Y'all knew that though. I learned that from a TEXAN who was in Vietnam with me. He was about 5'4" slim as a lizard and tough as a rhinoceros. When he introduced himself to me and told me he was from TEXAS, he said the word in all capitals, the way it's supposed to be said.

Actually the cedars we are using on this project are on the smaller to medium size range. I save them when clearing an area of land and cut most of them to 8 1/2 feet. A few are cut to 12 feet just in case I need them longer for some reason. I need the longer ones for the two on the downhill side of the barn, so that limited me on what size to use for all of them. I have three piles of logs to pick through, and it's funny how hard it is to find the "perfect" log!!!
Here are a few big ones that I used when building my gazebo next to my pond earlier this year.

Another weekend and a little more progress. I feel like I'm moving in slow motion on this project. 2 out of 3 street lights are in the ground with concrete curing. Once I get the last light installed, we can finish off the railing and run the wire for the hot fence.
Karen finished off sanding the fourth and last cedar post for the porch on Saturday. I got it installed and started working on framing the roof.
