Cranes and sawmill action - pretty cool.

Man, I wish I had been there to see both the saw mill and the crane. I think my nephew Dylan would have liked to be there for the crane too. And Doug would definitely like it.

First floor framing is mostly complete.

Look at the beautiful sunlight, coming through the trees from the lake. Our little place is really coming along. Next, the second floor will be framed. And, we're talking cedar siding with our builder. He got a deal for us...

It's really happening. Framing views.

We have foundation and the first floor framing.
