Foundational Logs are in Place

What an exciting day!!! We stacked our first five logs today thanks to Philip, Tim, Chris and Jeff. They went on really easy. We stagger cut the rebar and drill the holes an 1/8 inch larger and it couldn't have gone any easier.

Using block and tackle, we tied off to two 4WD vehicles to raise the logs and two guys with ropes pulled them to get drilled holes fitted onto the rebar.

After our helpers left, Blane and Blane, Jr. were able to get a fifth log in place and pinned down.

It was a very good and productive day with no injuries except for a few sore backs and muscles. Thank you God!
