Lisa & Adam Goldberg Deer Hill Blog #7 Con't

Sorry about the delay. 

I had it all finished last night and then somehow deleted it by mistake.  So here is my 2nd try.  

To update the blog as well the timber frame starting getting erected on Tuesday.  We have a lot of cool pictures.  Lisa, Peter and I got our tool belts out and where banging nails.  It was awesome.  Those pictures will come in blog #8.  All we can say is that this has been a spectacular process. 

We have been able to take part in every process.  Today I was making sure that all of the rough openings for the windows and doors are correct so that the sip panels will be cut correctly. What a tedious task.  Almost as tedious as the blog.  The blog is more fun though .  Well here are the pictures of us in New Hampshire working on our frame.
