Crane Man
Fortunately, Carlo of Carlo’s Cranes is a bit of a Rain Man on the crane. So, after a cancellation because of wind on Tuesday (of course), a miscommunication on Wednesday, me whining about not being able to snowboard with Dennis on Thursday, we finally got the perfect day to crane the trusses in on Friday. A beautiful, sunny, warm, windless day.

An Excessive Amount of Photos
Below are 25 photos of where we are now in The Build. Why so many? Why strain the patience of my friends & family? Because I used my camera (Panasonic DMC-LX7 – few years old but pretty good point & shoot) rather than my phone. They look way better with a Leica lens, and can […]
