t-17 hours

Today was a great day. Tomorrow promises to be even better. The beautiful weather is supposed to hold through the weekend, and we ended today with 10 of 16 posts standing. Tomorrow morning after baking we will help prepare the remaining posts (and arches), and drill holes in the slab for the brackets to help hold the posts. Then, in the afternoon, a crane truck will arrive to lift the purlins up on to the posts, then place the 34 6x10 rafters up on top of the purlins for later placement. By the end of tomorrow afternoon, the bakery structure will basically be in place!

Wow...
It really gets exciting when the walls start to go up. I cant remember if I asked before but this is on your home property right? I can imagine the stroll from the house to this beautiful building every morning...If its not on your home site I surely wouldn't mind the commute to this place, the building and site are like paradise..
Continued good luck.
