Taken 26 and 30 April 2003

    Notes: Saturday April 26, Mary and I went out to see what had happened... Some new holes for footings in the courtyard have been dug and lots more backfilling and other work going on....
 
April 26: Holes for footings in the courtyard. These will support the trellis and the shed roof over the entry area. The courtyard is now nicely visible.
April 26: Overview from the northwest. Coutyard footings are clearly visible an the rest of the entry area is taking shape.
April 26: View over the greatroom. The shape and elevation changes are now really visible. 
April 30: Mary standing in front of the HUGE beams that wil become the greatroom. Those are 8x20's 32 feet long. Wow!
April 30: Old nail (or maybe bullet?) holes in the beams.
