Grampy Jim’s Wedding

Our flight left at 6:55am so we arrived in Boston at midnight and spent the night in the airport. Ambiana slept in the car but was up from midnight til 9:30am the next day when she finally fell asleep in Grampy Jim’s car.

Dale and Kristy are in for the wedding!

Our little flower girls! Check out the heels on Colleen’s feet.

The happy couple and their flower girls

Ambiana and Jakobi loved the open bar and the juice selection.

Colleen’s Mom came late to the ceremony to meet Colleen’s brother and extended family for the first time

Construction Progress

Our construction stockpile; lumber for the floor of the longhouse and concrete blocks for the pizza oven and the piers.

Ambiana and her friend Noah, the other Noah, not the neighbor, stand on one of the 6 beams.

Here are 2 views of all 6 beams. We are going to add another 6″ x 6″ x 20′ on top of each for better support across the 20′ span.

Our firewood before it is bucked and split.

We ordered a cord of already split wood to get us started. All this wood and lumber if=s from Worcester and local providers.

Our car battery power system was not very efficient, it was killing the battery with the constant drain and recharge so we bought a 185W solar panel and 4 deep cycle batteries.
