The work started two weeks ago when we had to decide where to put the building that we are calling the "shed." One of the instructors came by to see if the spot would work and what Ken would need to do to prepare the site. Last weekend we had 10 yards of 3/4 inch stone delivered, and the adventure was underway. Here is the start in pictures~
 |
| raking out roots and stumps that were loosened with the tractor |
 |
| ten yards of crushed stone delivered |
 |
| unloading railroad ties that will be used for the base |
 |
| setting the perimeter |
 |
| leveling railroad ties that will support the timber frame |
 |
| timbers are delivered at the work site in town |
 |
| using a chisel to finish a mortise where a tenon will be fitted |

Wow. That's exciting. So glad he's getting a chance to do something he's always wanted to do. I'll bet he really appreciates your support. And, won't it be great to have a brand new shed he built with his own hands?
I'll be reading to see the progress on this building.

The last few days I have been thinking about the class and the build so was glad to see your post. Look forward to the finished shed frame and steps beyond!
And, yes, my hubby wishes he was right in there making sawdust with Ken.
That's so cool, not only will he learn, but he will be able to use the finished product.
I too would love to see the finished pictures.

This is exciting.
You will enjoy...
I am so interested in this project. We would love to have a small timber frame cabin.
