Patrick's House near Wakefield











Thanks to Les, I met Patrick, who was in the home stretch of getting his frame ready for raising, but needed an extra helper to finish up the myriad of details and odd jobs. I don't have too many pics of the process but below are a few snaps just after the crane left and the majority of the frame was assembled. It was a great day and the frame went together with no problems at all. He is enclosing the structure with a hemp/lime mixture (similar to strawbale in assembly technique) and I'll enclose pictures as that process takes place.


Bob's Place in Lanark Co.



























































Bob, the owner/builder was putting up a stackwall log place with a nice masonry heater. It was a real pleasure to work for Bob.
