back to blogging...

wow.

I guess i was busy from April 16th on until now....wrapping up a school year will do that to ya', but wrapping up a year that just started in Januray... well that's a whirlwind!

But now that school is out for the summer, I can resume the blogging!  I have to! I'm still almost 2 years behind!

Here's a few pics of the next stages of the remodel portion of our build....

 Using the Komatsu excavator to raise four, 35 foot structural telephone poles.

 Sure looks different across the front!

 The first pole going in

 Not much room to work up there!

 Number two....

 We needed to build some bracing to hold these poles in their holes... so naturally, Dave got on the excavator bucket to build it!

 They're nicely aligned!

 

A little rebar in the hole for stability... and ...

 we're ready for concrete!

 Dave,  this is not a toy slide!! Get off the chute!

 And they're set!

so, we went hiking to see what it looked like from afar.....

whew.
