Logs have come and are being lifted into existing walls while a big lull with a hydraulic boom holds the house up as the guys prize the rotted sills out from under thebuildin. Its cool. Its a mess too- the place now clearly evokes what Capability Brown called being in "Mud and Mortar" transformed great estates. The gentry typically stayed in town to avoid the mess. A gifted tree man- Isaac Jones out of Brevard NC- felled the huge tulip poplar dying a slow death from septic installation in its root zone; a pair of infest Tsuga carolinana, and sundry others- including a black cherry we'll get to later. the great change tho came from downing the multi-trunked pair of Tsuga canadensis and dead red oak that separate the cabin from the street and parking area (and everything else ). I caught the effect tonight on the way out: I'd never seen the little house before really: what do yall think?
I'll give you a taste of some plans Shannon and I are making for the front door:
