Due, no doubt, to the many volunteers, crew leaders, and expert timber framing skills on hand for the past two weeks, the project is ahead of schedule. Arranging the beams, test fitting some, and carving the most prominent beams are going on today, in preparation for the Big Raising first thing tomorrow morning. 
The raising site, a beehive of activity with timber framers getting things ready for tomorrow's events.  Barb Cahill of MA, Paul Cooper of Huffman, TX, and Chris Zollo of Oswego, NY, carve a beam with a vine pattern.

Brian Beals of Ohio and Bob Carlson of Fairbanks, AK. Bob drove to the project and certainly gets the prize for "Timber Framer Traveling the Greatest Distance." 
It takes 16 people to carry one of the big 37' beams. | ||
