On Saturday, June 23rd, the Block Masons and the Carpenters were working. The 12" blocks were filled with concrete, which was 3 more trucks of concrete and the carpenters got the wood structure going. The goal was to have the house ready for the modular boxes on Thursday the 28th. They worked all day Monday and Tuesday and here are some progress pictures:

On Tuesday, we found out that our set date for our Blue Ridge log Cabin had been postponed and a new date was set for Monday, July 2. Although we would have been ready for the setting of the cabins, everyone breathed a sign of relief as the carpenters had been working until 7:00 pm every night to get ready.
On Wednesday, a few additional things got done. This picture is the setting of the steel posts to support the support beam for the middle of the house. The steel beams will allow us to have an open family room without support posts in the lower level.
The other thing that got added were the sill plates around the entire frame. Salt treated 8" boards lay on top of the concrete walls. 8" boards also lay over the top of the frame. these are the base supports for the cabin.
